"There is so much that every one of us can do, and so much to be gained by doing it—not the least of which is a sense of your own agency."

"Experimentation and play can open up space. Instead of making a plan, think of one small step you can take and then see what happens. […] Notice what patch of ground or sky you can see from this new position, and take another step."

🔥 "Liberation" is here! 🔥
Out now on all streaming platforms. This is more than just a song—it’s a call to action! #iRebella
For once in your life, PUT UP A FIGHT. 💥
In a world where many have stepped back from speaking out, it’s time to rise up, face our fears, and reclaim our freedom. "Liberation" blends dark goth, industrial, and alt-rock to deliver a powerful message of empowerment, resilience, and rebellion. 💪
Produced by @dan_electro_x at #SonoramaRecords in Guadalajara, Mexico, and mixed/mastered by Carlos “Charlie” Santana @prosantana.mx in Puerto Vallarta, this track marks a new era in my music, shifting from the tropical vibes of Blue Skies to a raw, unapologetic sound that challenges oppression and urges us all to take a stand.
This is just the beginning—let’s make our voices heard. 🚨

A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.

When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!

Its FOT - fear of thinking.

You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.

#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.

Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.

🤠 Personal Narratives Empower Politically Disinclined Individuals to Engage in Political Discussions

arxiv.org/abs/2502.20463

arXiv.orgPersonal Narratives Empower Politically Disinclined Individuals to Engage in Political DiscussionsEngaging in political discussions is crucial in democratic societies, yet many individuals remain politically disinclined due to various factors such as perceived knowledge gaps, conflict avoidance, or a sense of disconnection from the political system. In this paper, we explore the potential of personal narratives-short, first-person accounts emphasizing personal experiences-as a means to empower these individuals to participate in online political discussions. Using a text classifier that identifies personal narratives, we conducted a large-scale computational analysis to evaluate the relationship between the use of personal narratives and participation in political discussions on Reddit. We find that politically disinclined individuals (PDIs) are more likely to use personal narratives than more politically active users. Personal narratives are more likely to attract and retain politically disinclined individuals in political discussions than other comments. Importantly, personal narratives posted by politically disinclined individuals are received more positively than their other comments in political communities. These results emphasize the value of personal narratives in promoting inclusive political discourse.

A colleague gave me an old Macbook Pro 9.2, which was too slow even to open Safari or read emails...

After upgrading the ram from 4 to 16gb, changing the old HDD for a new SSD, installing #Fedora... I made a Zoom call while I had 20 tabs open on Firefox, with Nextcloud, Thunderbird, Telegram and Emacs open in the background.

But the thing that amazed me was the strange sense of #empowerment (?) I felt during the process.
