  2. One of the tricks to #writing #poetry with #confidence when stuck (or as a #habit) is to write out before every poem, in some way or another, THIS IS NOT A #POEM, which frees you up to write one by dissolving the pressure to write a poem. This is NOT REAL LIFE, either. Oh fuck, it is real life. Hold my hand, and also my #albatross, matey, fellow #reader. I have some non-rhyming to do! rant.li/atmercurialatrant-li/j

  4. It is often more effective to replace a #BadHabit with a #healthy alternative rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. Your #body and #mind crave a specific satisfaction, and simply removing the #habit leaves a void that can lead to relapse. instead: identify what need the habit fulfills. whether it is sugar, stress relief, or social connection and find a positive activity that fills that same gap. This approach applies to everything from #addiction and #mentalhealth to physical #fitness

  5. I just tried to push up my sleaves. I'm already wearing a short sleeve shirt. 🤦

  11. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.
     
    [Οἷα ἂν πολλάκις φαντασθῇς, τοιαύτη σοι ἔσται ἡ διάνοια: βάπτεται γὰρ ὑπὸ τῶν φαντασιῶν ἡ ψυχή.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 5, ch. 16 (2.5) (AD 161-180) [tr. Long (1862)]

  12. I made coffee in the siphon this morning, so I had to get down one of the large cups since it’s an unusual indulgence of almost three times as much coffee as I have on an ordinary morning (starting out with 600ml of water instead of 250ml). It’s a good morning for it, with a great album on the turntable and a day with a presentation (something about cloud security tools for an ISC2 audience, making sure people get those sweet CPEs) and a lot of writing.

    And, while I rarely think about it, the combination of a band from the 90s and a large cup of coffee had me thinking about why I typically only have a single, small but lovely cup of coffee on a day. Back then, around ‘95, after I realized I didn’t need a degree to work in TV production, I ended up living in Charlotte and working the evening newscasts for WBTW in Florence. That’s about a two hour drive, one way, and I was also running my own little computer consulting gig on the side…so, most days, I was up working in the morning, left for Florence around 2pm, worked the 5, 5:30, 6, and 11pm newscasts, left around 11:45, got home around 2am, and did it again the next day.

    I did that with the assistance of lots of coffee. Like, 2-3 pots of coffee a day. I learned that, at that dosage, caffeine can make you hallucinate (glowing streaks running across the back roads of South Carolina in the middle of the night) and caffeine withdrawal sucks (for all the coffee I was drinking, I didn’t have a coffee pot at home and it took me a few days of consumed with migraine scale headaches to figure it out).

    When I left TV, I quit coffee entirely for a few years. Ever since, my relationship with it, like so many things in my middle years, is that I consume a lot less of it but, what I do consume, is much better quality.
