  2. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

  6. "Adulthood, it turns out, is nothing more than dreaming as a child about 'when I grow up I'll be able to go to bed whenever I want,' and then, as an adult, praying 'I wish I could go to sleep at 10 PM.' We've been fooled, folks."

  7. my unpopular #opinion is that you can truly blame your shitty #parents for a lot of your #issues well into #adulthood and have it be valid. the whole "taking #accountability for your own #problems" thing doesn't apply to the people who made you then failed you during your most formative years and the results that come from that. this is quite literally your fault and the #consquences of your actions

  8. 🎉 BREAKING: Apparently your brain is stuck in "teen mode" until your 30s, so feel free to blame your questionable life choices on science! 🤷‍♂️ Who knew that adulting came with software updates? 📅🔄

  9. The Journey of Adulthood 9ed by Barbara R. Bjorklund, 2019

    The Journey of Adulthood continues to capture the dynamic process of adult development from early adulthood to the end of life. Its core is made up of research findings from large-scale projects and major theories of adult development, but it also reflects smaller studies of diverse groups, showing the influences of gender, culture, ethnicity, race, and socioeconomic background on this journey.

  10. Ever wonder when you truly became an adult? Discover how self-awareness and emotional intelligence shape the moment you finally feel like a grown-up — and why maturity is more about presence than age. #dailyprompt #mindfulness #Adulthood

  12. Told entirely from a #ChildsPerspective, Ninan Auassat: We, the Children is a powerful and immersive #documentary that reveals the dreams of a new generation ready to take flight. Renowned for her intimate and compelling films, director Kim O’Bomsawin takes us deep into the world of #IndigenousYouth , capturing the stories of #children from the #Atikamekw , #EeyouCree and #Innu Nations over a period of more than six years. Without adult narration or expert commentary, the film offers an unfiltered look at #childhood as it unfolds, from everyday life to defining moments on the path to #adulthood. It’s a bold cinematic statement—one that gives space to a generation eager to be heard. Their voices ring out, not just as personal stories, but as a call to action, demanding recognition and the chance to thrive on their own terms.

  13. Strong recommendation for people who are getting older. Like 35+. Get a magnifying lamp. At some point, you will NEED to do things that require sight you no longer have. Removing splinters, threading needles, reading serial numbers from apple devices (ok, that's a joke, nobody can do that). A magnifying lamp is worth its weight in gold for those times when you need to do fine work that you might have found challenging as a 25 year old. #aging #adulthood #adult #magnifying

  14. "#crazy how much #people undermine #bullying as a source of #trauma and genuine #pain that echoes throughout your #life and impacts you in very literal ways well into #adulthood"

  15. I’d like to say thank you to the bullies from my school years.

    Without you I would never have been successful in my career, athletically and financially.

    Without you I’d never have learned to deal with the rigors of being an adult.

  20. A quotation from J. M. Barrie

  21. A quotation from J. M. Barrie

     “Why can’t you fly now, mother?”
     “Because I am grown up, dearest. When people grow up they forget the way.”
     “Why do they forget the way?”
     “Because they are no longer gay and innocent and heartless. It is only the gay and innocent and heartless who can fly.”

    J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
    Peter and Wendy, ch. 17 “When Wendy Grew Up” [Jane to Wendy] (1911)

  24. @danie10 @hcj Australia's new law effectively means #teens will not be able to research topics that may OR MAY NOT BE affecting their society, as they move into #adulthood, this effectively reduces under-16s in #australia (and if this global trend continues, the world) as second class citizens, 2nd class youth will invariably lead to 2nd class adults. Information is NOT #alcohol, its NOT an addictive drug, it is the bigtech platforms that have weaponized the social spaces.... social spaces in general are NOT THE PROBLEM!

    the australian govt comparing this law to an #alcoholBan ought horrify every living person on earth. we should be reminded also of what the "war on drugs" actually achieved, in so far as it simply put a bunch of recreational users into the #prisonIndustrialComplex. I put forward that THIS is the real goal of this new global push by govts to ban #information for our youth.

    It is also akin to the burning of books, because when govt (today in the 'land-down-under') ties access to the internet to getting a #facescan, or a govt-issued #digitalID that will spell the end of #academicFreedom. The so-called #freeAndOpenWeb and #fediverse community must move swiftly to make australia's new laws redundant.

    Mobilise now....

  25. The band’s facebook messenger chat page is exploding right now. We’re trying to get all four of us into a room together and it’s proving to be more difficult than ever before. Our traditional 6pm on Sunday rehearsal time is not doable. We’re waffling back and forth between earlier on Sundays and after work on Thursdays. Thursdays appear to be in the lead at the moment.

    Scheduling things is difficult. Was it this hard to do when we were kids? Is this an adult thing? Is it a middle aged adult thing? It’s tough to say. Sometimes acting like a grown up sucks, but what can you do? The alternative (not being a grown up) is probably worse.

    Okay. We’re booked for Thursday. I put it on my Google Calendar. It is officially set in stone now. Or something like that.
