Enjoyed this article about trippy Insta self-help graphics but seems odd that it doesn't mention the lineage of these motifs / their connection to wellness being rooted in the design of '70s works like the Whole Earth Catalog, Be Here Now, small self-published New Age texts etc.! https://t.co/HKGJ8fFdBh pic.twitter.com/7BcRZ5YAdV— Elizabeth Goodspeed (@domesticetch) February 11, 2021

One issue with "I'll just date a secure person" as a strategy for people with insecure attachment patterns is that the early dating process with a secure person actually feels a lot *less* secure than it does with someone who has complementarily insecure attachment patterns.

THREAD. Behind closed doors, a little-known bureaucrat in Los Angeles just signed one of the weirdest--and most dangerous--contracts I've seen in my career: it gives huge control over the “justice” system in Los Angeles to the consulting firm Accenture.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) September 4, 2023

Vanessa Kisuule thread on perpetual singledom
“Will probably delete this but want to post for those who feel similar because it's maddening thinking you're the only one/one of very few. I am very sad about but making peace with the fact that romantic love is sthg that eludes some of us for reasons we cannot know or control.”
I am very sad about but making peace with the fact that romantic love is sthg that eludes some of us for reasons we cannot know or control.
whilst many people go in and out of relationships on some miraculous, regular wave, some of us have that happen rarely or not at all.
It is just bad luck. And luck can ofc turn on a dime. But it can also just go on like that, reliably & laughably shitty, for years or even decades. You can make yourself sick with hope, waste time & energy with your antenna raised whilst simultaneously pretending not to care.
This anxiety has generated a multi billion dollar industry of books/events/courses/apps claiming to have an answer. Attempts are made to lace singledom with some semblance of dignity or even gravitas. But we remain a species addicted to the salvation of romantic love.
The solutions peddled by apps & self help gurus work for some. But there is another experience, another rambling path: sad, difficult, ghostly, formative & continually humbling. Undisturbed, you learn to truly hear yourself and the tide of your thoughts, for better and for worse
The term relationship STATUS speaks volumes. It's as much about ego as anything else, wanting to signal to the world that s/o has freely elected to give your their time, care & attention. In lieu of meaningful community ties, this is the last bastion of relational safety.
It pierces you like a shard of glass some days: except for cursory hugs and handshakes signalling hello & goodbye, you haven't been touched, meaningfully, for months or perhaps even years.
You smother your libido such that sex reverts back to the slightly silly and gross act it seemed like when you first heard about it as a child. Better to be mildly disgusted by it than ache for it every day.
I'm not under any delusions about partnership. Like anything, it can be anti-climatic, banal, exposing, violent. Even when its lovely & loving, life still finds other ways of sneaking in its sucker punches. I know this. But still.
We each have our story of exclusion, our own private gulf of shame. Let it grow, not shrink, your heart. Its this sense of lack, the very thing that makes you feel hideous, that builds your empathy. We each have our crosses to bear and we must do so with grace & good humour.
Please don't send me platitudes or assurances that it will happen or that I am lovable/desirable. Those things are certainly true in abstract and I know that. I want to talk honestly about the feeling without people rushing me towards a solution or soothing balm.
I never used to let myself acknowledge the weight of sadness I felt around this. I thought it was above me & the brilliant life I've built. Too basic, too pathetic! But breaking news: I am made of the same soft, jelly-ish needs as anyone. Hate that for me tbh, but there you go.
Sometimes I wish it were an organ, this longing. Then I could neatly & efficiently cut it out of my body. The world is so big, so gorgeous, replete with issues that deserve our focus. I want to stop thinking about this so I can apply my full self to anything & everything else.

GOP election pitch:- yes we tried to overthrow US Gov’t, but we *failed*- our last 3 POTUS brought recessions and higher deficits- we want the planet to warm faster, more kids to die in schools, tens of millions to lose health insurance - Slavery was good, child labor too 1/— Simon Rosenberg (@SimonWDC) August 2, 2023

POPEYE (1980). Robert Altman's infamous career-ruining bomb that was also the 11th highest grossing film of 1980, outpacing RAGING BULL, CADDYSHACK, AMERICAN GIGOLO, THE SHINING, & the first FRIDAY THE 13TH. A few of thoughts. First off: the picture absolutely rules. pic.twitter.com/I9a59yf2CN— Tony Tost (@tonytost) June 24, 2023

Efficiency and tech advancement could be prioritized if we had a societal structure that didn’t require people to work in order to obtain access to basic resources required to stay alive such as healthcare, housing, and food. We prioritize jobs bc we lack a social safety net. https://t.co/UjqxrC1LXE— Jen Bartel (@heyjenbartel) June 21, 2023
