if you ever have the thought "i can't to [popular location] because [hater] might be / used to hang out there," that is a sign that you absolutely need to go to [popular location.]
it is totally untenable to cede the territory of your own city / town to the maladjusted losers who have wronged you. chances are, if they're fuckin losers, they're not gonna be on the streets touching grass in the first place, and if they're maladjusted, they've probably made more enemies than just you. show up to the function and dare their dumb asses to say something. i guarantee the adrenaline of doing this will overwhelm the fear
(unless there's an clear and present threat to your personal safety ofc)

it feels a little controversial to share this rec on a platform that rides heavy on positivity and kindness (which I’m in favor of) but let’s be honest being a hater is deeply satisfying and when harnessed accordingly can even be productive.
being a hater — when channeled accordingly — can position you to use whatever gift or talent the universe (or god, or whatever higher power you believe in) placed upon you, and make a tangible thing out of it.
if Kendrick Lamar has taught us anything it‘s that being a hater can get you so far you’ll end up winning Grammys for it. Sometimes, pettiness IS the way forward. stay consistent with it. Ten toes down.
being a hater will have your enemies go into hiding while folk in Portugal or South Africa (which I’ve witnessed in real time) are blasting and yelling in unison ‘… A MINOR’
if there’s one thing I’ve learned from living in America is I need to be a hater to survive. Especially after this past month.
We got a long 4 years ahead of us and we’re gonna need this idea of being a hater as part of our skillset to fuel us into taking action and shaking shit up.
At the end of the day. Being a hater I believe is just as imperative as it is to being a lover. I think the real challenge is finding balance.
ps. I just found out that ‘Not Like Us’ has exactly 101 beats per minute which makes the right tempo for hands only CPR. So there you have it. Being a hater can also save a life.

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
