avoid sounding like a fool. nothing is “so aesthetic“ it doesn’t work that way

it’s tricky because it can be an adjective as in ”aesthetic principles” describing what type of principles are being referred to- but people who were born yesterday have started using it as a synonym for a word like “artful”

using plain language when something clever doesn't present itself
a straightforward sentence is always better than a metaphor that sucks.

describing things i dont like as "too on-the-nose" or "too derivative"
this is my go-to criticism of things i don't like but can't quite pin why i don't like. makes me sound like i know exactly what i'm talking about

kill your posting anxiety
Posting doesn’t necessarily reflect delusions of grandeur about one’s influence. it’s a simple, communicative act. give yourself some credit, trust social instincts. If people had phones at any time in human history- they’d be using them.

the 3 star system ★★★
Ranking things out of three (no half stars, 0 permissible) is a valuable exercise. The limitations force one to reckon with the boundaries of language and the necessity of a respect for nuance. One out of three could be pretty bad..on the other hand, it's still pretty good.
