Still kinda blows my mind that women fought for the right to experience this

If you get mistreated here you can go to HR, quit immediately, or sometimes sue. You have set hours and you get to leave. There are clear obligations and clear compensation. You are not subject to the whims of a personal oligarch who you just have to hope stays benevolent forever.

Excluding the crucial fact that office jobs pay you an income….if staying home to raise children and do chores and bake bread was really so much easier and more joyful than working in an office on some objective level, why aren’t men doing it? Why aren’t they chomping at the bit to be ~leisurely house husbands~ to a working wife? Why aren’t they stepping up to depend solely on someone else’s income in exchange for round-the-clock domestic labor, if it’s really as blissful and their propaganda suggests? Curious. source

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck. source

I'm not "freaking out." Can't you see how unnaturally still and silent I am? Could someone who was "freaking out" be this rigid? This uncomfortably quiet? Yeah, didn't think so. source

魚與熊掌不可兼得：當基督徒一邊拒絕理性檢驗，一邊又堅稱信仰是真理
最近我接觸到幾位基督徒，發現他們在談論信仰時，常常陷入一種矛盾的立場：一方面把基督教說成是無法用理性或科學檢驗的生命哲學，是屬於情感與靈性層面的個人選擇；另一方面卻又堅持基督教是真理，是放諸四海皆準的事實。
例如，有位自由派基督徒在另外一個網路平台上反駁我說：「基督教所談的信心並不是某種偏見」，因為信仰是出於個人的靈性體驗與生命歷程，是一種內在的委身，而不是用來證明什麼客觀事實。另一位 YouTuber 則大談基督信仰如何滿足人內心深層的渴望，如何在情感與存在層面上提供慰藉。他認為，相較之下，依靠科學與證據來判斷信仰的方式過於飄忽、變動太大，不足以支撐整個人生。
但弔詭的是，這些人從不放棄「基督教是真理」這個立場。他們也許不那麼緊緊抓住耶穌在歷史上肉身復活這個宣稱，但仍然強調耶穌是唯一的救主、福音是人類的答案。他們也許不太強調基督教傳揚的是「客觀真理」，但一定是「屬靈真理」。他們並不只是說：「這是我個人的信仰選擇，你可以不同意」；而是暗示，甚至明言：「你也應該接受，因為這是真的。」
這樣的邏輯其實是站不住腳的。
你不能一邊否定理性與實證檢驗的價值，把信仰說成是純屬個人靈性選擇，毋需證明，另一邊又堅稱它是真理、是真實世界的本相。這就像一個人說：「我相信地球是平的，因為這樣讓我感到人生更有意義，你不能用科學來質疑我；但我也認為所有人都應該接受地平說，因為那才是真相。」這就是在混淆兩個層次：信仰作為一種心理抉擇，與信仰作為一個關於世界的判斷。
如果你主張信仰只是個人的靈性追求或人生哲學，那它就像音樂或美術偏好一樣，無需對他人有約束力，自然也不該強調它的普遍性與排他性。但若你堅稱耶穌是唯一的道路、真理與生命，這就不再只是「我覺得有幫助」這麼簡單了，而是需要經得起推論、證據與檢驗的公開論述。 source
