Sublime is not:
Sublime is not another note-taking tool to add your grocery list or to store your kids health insurance info – the ideas that move you should not live alongside the daily minutia.
Sublime is not a read it later tool that becomes a graveyard of junk.
Sublime is not a social network – there’s no likes, no comments, no vanity metrics.

so so happy with new Sublime. pulling back on UI was exactly what I was wanting
a child, I grew up with strong feelings
Deep feelings of who I am and what is important in life
I felt one with the world
Living and caring was one
As I became older, culture took over
The stories I heard began to color my life
I went to school
I learned that adults and experts know—not children
I learned that knowledge is external—not internal

a personal parenthesis
at 23 i left home, not just the house i lived in but the country i lived in, to pursue an abstract "better life".
i wasn't sure what it would look like, but a new job gave me a ticket out and i took it with the full confidence that in about 5 years i would know what was actually next in my life. a stepping stone into a five yea

Spencer R. Scott • End the Horror, Let the Crisis Change You
Faced with a name like the Terrible Twenties, many people might point out that humans today are in some ways far better off than they’ve ever been: life expectancies are up, on the whole, compared with a century ago (though they dipped during the pandemic); extreme poverty has sharply declined. It seems possible, though, that both interpretations a

it doesnt help that the interconnected nature of society is constantly serving reminders of the tragic, the inequities and the many things happening to us that remain beyond our control. the quality of life baseline may be higher today, but what a life of quality is remains as far from our collective grasp as ever.
Those responsible for the worst treatment of the world and its human occupants continue to do so because we don’t make things hard enough for them: a little hardship and directed hostility toward the rich is long, long overdue. At the same time, though, we know very well why such a mass uprising and tidal shift remains difficult. Those who most fee

millenial malaisin and sortakasten
the darker implication of the malaise is the reality that it is all by design. a few hundred years ago certain powers aligned against the people. overloading from birth to the point that it is a luxury, a privilege, to even consider the state of the world. in thinking about all of this i can't help but drown in a kind of survivor's guilt mixed with impostor syndrome— i can(t help but) think about these things when, outside my window, there's someone that's negotiating with themselves on whether to feed themselves now or pay bill later. and somewhere, someone even more educated and in an even more privileged position considers the same for me.
but at some point up that ladder i want to hope someone with some weight will think about the rest of us all the way down and throw a wrench in the system that stacked us in a vertical maze to begin with.
