the privatisation of third space was just a starting point. now i will see the peaks of what development in private third space looks like. starting with clear air. i'm ready to spend extra 2 hours at my blue tokai 💙
it is wholly possible to forget to practice agency for yourself while trying to demonstrate/teach it to others

bulk of a good™️ marriage is maximising loving acceptance and minimising resentful appeasement
this sounds rudimentary but many people can’t separate accommodating their partner and trying to please them (which can involve taking up hobbies, changing habits, etc) with loving and respecting who you fundamentally are and not compromising on that for someone else

i never got a chance to read harry potter books as a child. perhaps because books wasn't a priority, or one we couldn't afford. but i am experiencing this enchanted world through the movies now and i am floored by how good this story is. can't wait for my kids experience this.

> If you're not happy with the footpath (or a pothole, or anything else which is broken), fix it, or call someone to fix it, and don't give up until it's fixed.
i know many high agency friends who've burnt out trying to fill in for a shitty colleague, and i do not recommend it
I think what is actually needed is for Indian people to actually give a damn about their cities and fellow citizens.
Anybody using the "I pay taxes, I shouldn't have to do anything" excuse should go live in another country. India isn't developed, it's developing, so it needs patriots, not parasites. If this triggers you, it means you're part of the problem.
If you're not happy with the footpath (or a pothole, or anything else which is broken), fix it, or call someone to fix it, and don't give up until it's fixed. Be relentless. Be vocal. Be creative. Make it your mission to get that one thing fixed. Look at what Virendra (@Virendra0698) did by just calling the right people and being respectful (but also persistent). He and Arun Pai (@arunpaiblrwalks) along with the help of GBA and some wonderful volunteers turned an unofficial garbage dump into a pristine, beautiful footpath through sheer force of will.

I’m still mourning the cover affectionately known as “Building Man”— but I love where we landed on BUILT TO GROW press.stripe.com/built-to-gr…
The evolution:

I found that a lot of my writing was spent trying to be nuanced, hedging, qualifying, and it weakened the result and produced vastly dull walls of text.

I got Claude to vibecode me a Firefox extension where I have to do mental math quiz or a sudoku to earn Twitter time and it has more or less fixed everything for me
