the whole narrative that the ban is staged and a setup for trump to be the savior after taking office while being the person who created the initial ban is 100% true. messaging from tiktok is blatantly unprofessional and a charade.

when I met my wife: we talked in public ~15 times but she didn't really get me because I tried to be polite and not talk for 20 min about my obsessions then she happened upon one of my really early essays and was like "yeah??? you think like that? I must talk to you for real"

I’m starting to believe that “write on the Internet, even if no one reads it” is underrated life advice. it doesn’t benefit other people necessarily, it benefits *you* bc the people who do find/like your writing and then reach out are so much more likely to be compatible with you

called my cofounder at 12am to talk myself out of an irrational decision and he gave me the most life changing piece of advice i've heard in a minute: don't take the stress from things out of your control out on the things within your control bless 🙏🏻

Every saturday morning for the last 6 years, I watch this obscure video. It's Jeff Bezos talking about leadership, but really, it's the most succinct blueprint for how to achieve greatness I have ever found. You should watch it often, but I summarized it here: (thread, sry)

Sometimes you write an essay that feels like a heart beating under the floorboards. Here is one. On dating after divorce, acting my age, and dreaming big with younger men. thecut.com/article/dating-ap…
All the Possible Futures

All the Possible Futures

My dating profile put me in touch with who I was before my marriage fell apart. But my daughter forced me to confront who I wanted to be.

I’ve gone from “there’s no point to sharing what you feel if it’s inconvenient” to “it’s actively bad for you to repress what you feel”

Replying to @BeezyManzell
if he's only dominant because i let him be, and deliberately withhold my power, then is he really dominant? feels cheap.

A lot of people have a hard time separating body type from style. This outfit would not look good on anyone. He needs a jacket; the sweater would look better if it was textured; blue chinos are hard to wear. This same outfit would look bad on a skinny or athletic person. 🧵

Men are werewolves As an escort, I'd have dinner with an intelligent, perceptive man - ceo or something - and I'd think, no way he's a werewolf. When we end up in bed, he'll remain himself, conscious, alert. But no; they transformed every time into an unrecognizable sex creature.

a friend said you can't eliminate the grief of heartache, but you can fill your life with good things until the grief appears small in comparison to all the joy in your life

literally all I want in life is to marry the love of my life and move into a cute little house in the countryside and eat dinner together every day and build a b2b saas company that vertically integrates in a highly fragmented, low nps industry while generating shareholder value

An uncomfortable truth about being an employee: You don’t want to make your boss look bad. I’ve never seen someone rise doing that. If you’re smarter than your boss, you’re better off staying quiet or just quitting. But rarely better off offending or making your boss look bad.
