1444 || art vs. entertainment

Make Your Damn Bed ·

2025/05/10

The goal is to “consume consciously” more often than you’re letting shit "consume you, unconsciously”.James Baldwin puts it like this: “The industry is compelled, given the way it is built, to present to the American people a self-perpetuating fantasy of American life. Their concept of entertainment is difficult to distinguish from the use of narcotics. To watch the TV screen for any length of time is to learn some really frightening things about the American sense of reality. We are cruelly trapped

We all have limited time and if shit doesn’t make us feel empowered or better or less nihilistic, then we have to remember we’ve ultimately got the power to change that.You’re allowed to and supposed to watch entertainment for joy and motivation and pleasure and curiosity and even to be petty as long as you don’t forget that the entertainment is affecting you in more than one way so in my experience being aware of the presence of a pipeline towards alt right extremism is a very crucial step in not

1442 || the hidden meaning of the trad wife movement

Make Your Damn Bed ·

2025/05/08

The title buries the lede, because there is no upside, but there are ways to avoid falling victim to the trap of consuming with no idea of the impact. It's good practice to assume that everything you're consuming online or on TV is marketing, either of a person, an ideology, or a product, which wouldn't be a big deal if it was honest with us. The lie leads to shame and homogeny and an overall feeling of "insufficiency". At the very best, it steals your time. At it's worst - it steals more. Don't let

Make Your Damn Bed ·

2025/05/07

These influencers make careers out of convincing you to give yours up.It seems pretty obvious that it’s supposed to benefit men but in reality it benefits nobody - people that don’t fall sharply into a gender binary suffer, women suffer, and unfortunately even men suffer under this system. The whole thing contradicts itself. It’s snake oil. Toxic fumes to huff so you’re too high to notice them abusing your free labor and support. Pretends to be empowering, when it's the opposite.

1440 || the trad wife scam

Make Your Damn Bed ·

2025/05/06

I think the skeeziest lie about the trad wife movement is that it’s just a type of stay at home mom.Unlike stay-at-home moms, who may choose to stay home for practical reasons, like saving money on child care or because they genuinely want to,trad wives adhere to incredibly strict traditional gender roles - regardless of what the woman actually wants. A woman's identity becomes "the family" and looking "good" for the family, anything outside of that is to be shamed explicitly. According to

2025/05/03

I think everything these days wants to steal our attention. And if it’s been a while since we checked in with that and how comfortable we are giving up all of life‘s best moments for bullshit that (if we could remember) would not matter at all.So it’s nice to reclaim a bit of it for ourselves. In whatever ways we can manage. If that’s carving out a few minutes a day to dance? I think that’s a beautiful way to start.SOURCES:The Dance vs. Depression Study:

Make Your Damn Bed ·

2025/05/02

Dance has been outperforming SSRI's, anti-depressants, and all other forms of exercise in combatting depression symptoms in multiple studies. It makes sense to me that the combination of mental + physical coordination, the way it grounds you + forces you to be present, and the social aspect would have a profound effect on our health but it makes you wonder what other cultural practices and wisdom we've overlooked.

Some rules of thumb we review today include: "Is there a better use of my time?""Stress vs. Reward Analysis""It's okay to not finish a book you were reading for pleasure." "The braggers razor: the more someone brags, the less you should believe them.""Writing knife block: If struggling to understand something, write it down.""Opinions are earned, not owed." "Under-promise, and over-deliver."Rules of thumb should be applied in context. No rule should be applied universally! They're there to make life

Once you're in the arena, never take advice from people on the sidelines.The Optimist Razor: When choosing who to spend time with, prioritize spending more time with optimists.Taleb's "look the part" test: If forced to choose between
