Triggered!
“In a 2020 study in the journal Clinical Psychological Science, researchers found that trigger warnings also encouraged people to view trauma as an essential part of their personhood, a belief which correlates with increased symptom severity and poorer overall mental health outcomes”

SimCity and car parks just don't get along
While you were making those measurements of different real-world cities, did you discover any surprising patterns or spatial relationships? Yes, definitely. I think the biggest one was the parking lots. When I started measuring out our local grocery store, which I don’t think of as being that big, I was blown away by how much more space was parking lot rather than actual store. That was kind of a problem, because we were originally just going to model real cities, but we quickly realized there were way too many parking lots in the real world and that our game was going to be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots.

I’m proud to announce that our lawns are mowed, gardens are tidy, and we’ve cleaned our house, so we’re now accepting visitors until our toddler comes home from kindy.

Have you ever considered that we’re all just flying around the universe on a big rock making shit up and taking made-up currencies off each other for the pleasure of making shit up for each other?
If you’ve ever read my shit and thought “it’s a crime that I’m getting this for free” then here’s a chance to pay for it.
Tomorrow, any of you who subscribe to @decryption’s $5 a month Sizzle email will receive the crumbs off my table.

For nine years I’ve been lucky enough to call you my wife, Britt.
In my vows I said “we’ll write a beautiful story together” and boy is that true.
Happy anniversary, Snow x
And thanks Molk for ignoring any of that unplugged ceremony nonsense and filming our first kiss.
Sunrise from Tallebudgera Creek this morning
Instead of labelling antivaxxers or vaccine-hesitant people as stupid etc, could we consider how we as a society have contributed to the rapid distrust of elected officials and pharmaceutical companies?
I’m married to a vaccine hesitant person and she’s not stupid. But she finds valid and real reason to distrust the choir of voices singing the “just get vaccinated, ya know” song.
Honestly, she brings more reading material, albeit embroiled in conjecture, than the “hey idiots, blindly believe the govt and just get vaxxed” crowd.
I’m tired.
Welcome to my TED Talk.
I’ve finally come to the realisation that the wedding industry can’t provide for my family for the near future, so I’m taking on small business clients to tell their story. Recorded and produced my first piece of content this morning!
