Rich guys tend to think every bit of good luck is the result of their genius. That's why "I broke this rule and got away with it" turns into "That rule is stupid, and only idiots follow it."

A restaurant we loved closed during the pandemic. We just discovered it quietly reopened this year and we didn't notice. We went there yesterday and the food and portions and terrible murals on the wall were the same as they were in 2019. On the way home we cried because it has been a hard week and we were so strongly struck by how things used to be.

You can't fix everything, but most of the time if you pick just one thing and focus on it, you can make it a little better.

One of my favorite novelty items popped up today on Tumblr. The look on the horrified/angry child is one of my favorite novelty illustrations. Not sure what the reaction to that third eye is supposed to be, but the kid with the third eye doesn't care.

A therapist recommended the book "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine" and in researching it before I read it, I discovered that one of the authors committed a murder/suicide, killing his wife. Amazon feels that this is "personal information" and not something that should be mentioned in a review of the book. Since it directly relates to toxic masculinity, I feel it's very important.

The biggest thing I learned from school as a child was that a big part of life is just a misery that you have to endure. Boundaries are decided by other people, and you don't even get to choose whether or not you sit next to the person who punches you in the arm all day. Some adults in charge of you care about you; some don't; it is random and needs to be assessed constantly. That doing more than expected or doing something amazing was irritating to everyone.

Took me decades to unlearn that.
