      A direction or colour of politics or religion can cause more division. I realise it is naive to not "talk about politics," but we can talk about it differently in the sense we can not add to that division.
      If a conversation subject causes friction, that's ok. It's how we learn and, more importantly, how we learn to think. If that friction is painful, it needs to be examined in a way that supports & develops individual and community growth.
      Some people find that investigation of painful experience/emotion at a particular point in life is too difficult. That's OK. It does not mean I agree with the expression of that learning or pain. It may come to a point where I can't be with that person due to that expression.
      Acceptance is not agreement. Healing has to begin with recognition.

        Picture is not of my desk... but something I am aspiring to.

        I need to make some improvements to my computer desk setup.

        Some practical, such as the chair that I am using is giving me some back pain (I prefer a standing desk, but do not have that in my front reception area of my shop yet).

        Some is just for looks. The custom desk setups that look really good or are customized with 3D printed parts are really appealing to me.

                  Nachdem ich mich heute Morgen nochmal etwas intensiver mit Inkscape befasst habe, stelle ich schon eine leichte Gewöhnung fest.
                  Je mehr ich damit arbeite und die alten Gewohnheiten einfach nur als alte Gewohnheiten betrachte - also "loslasse" :) um so leichter wird es.

                  Aber dennoch ist es eine starke Umstellung... ich muss die Philosophie dahinter noch verstehen.

                  Ich bleibe am Ball.

                      Sometimes the pressure is too strong.
                      Sometimes you feel the need to unplug.
                      Sometimes it feels like you do not have enough energy.

                      Unplug.
                      Go out.

                      The road ahead of you can be complex, muddy, full of puddles.
                      You may feel alone. But you are not.
                      You have yourself, you have the people who care about you, you have all of nature around you.

                      You will be able to get past the puddles, and the sun, that sun among the clouds, is ready to shine to light your way and dry them.

                              I've already moved on a bit from this work, which I did through last year. My thinking has too: what I need to write down already feels like old news to me because I've re-imagined it in a different formal framework that has better properties. This is such a trap and something my PhD advisor warned his students (me) to be wary of yet I'm still enthusiastically diving headfirst into it.

                              I have to confess that another dimension of this is the piss poor state of publishing. I find APCs deeply offensive and don't want to face them, but I don't intend to sign away copyright to a predatory publisher either. Something like 12 of my papers are in the libgen database and I'm not keen to stuff a 13th into the blender (then again, good luck trying to make sense of this one with an LLM lol). As a graduate student I found publishing a challenging but exciting opportunity to communicate with peers. Now I find it to be an onerous chore of navigating smarmy vampiric middlemen to get at the valuable things they unjustly control (distribution channels mainly). I feel compelled to publish this one in conventional-ish channels because it's reporting on grant-funded work and I think it merits, and I'd like to have, an archival record.

                              Wah wah wah. Like I said, doom loop.

                                I have been poking at writing a paper since late last year and am stuck in a "I know it won't achieve what I want it to achieve" doom loop about it, which is an effective motivation sap. This has happened to me every single time I've written something for publication and I find it very frustrating.

                                This is not really a call for advice--I have a thousand and one strategies, both my own and ones suggested to me by mentors and colleagues past--though I love to collect hot tips about how to write more effectively so I'm not opposed either. Mostly just venting because the other window is a blank page.
