This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
"It’s easy to get swept up in “shoulds” and “to-do’s.” I, for one, am incredibly influenced by what other people think. Just doing what you want to do or figuring out what you want to do can be strangely difficult. But that’s what I recommend: figuring out what you want and then doing it."
"Since quitting our full-time jobs and getting part-time jobs, my other half and I have had much more time (and energy, oh man) to just “go for walks in nature” and it’s super nice. We are completely broke and careening towards bankruptcy, but NATURE DON’T CARE. So I guess my recommendation is quit your job."
"Call me a 'Dick Head,' but I'm knee-deep in my first reading of Moby-Dick and I'm enthralled. The book had been sitting on my night stand for some time and I'd been intimidated to delve in but once I started -- and realized how weird, funny, descriptive and readable it is -- I'm having a hard time putting it down."
"Honestly, I can only think about how great it would be if Twitter just suddenly vanished. Twitter is the website that will bring me to ruin. Please follow me."
"Feel-good stories and pictures of kittens work sometimes, but in truly dark times you need a more powerful brain-cleanse. So my recommendation is horror as self-care."
"I’m trying my best to internalize and follow Phil Elverum’s advice from 2007; 'Don’t Smoke / Get Off The Internet.' I think a lot of people could benefit from that as well."
"Everyone should spend less time on their computers and devices - myself included. Make time to go for walks with your friends!"
"It perfectly depicts a believable modern day dystopia with hints of the dark surreal and loaded with important political and social commentary."
"Get some hobbies outside of the black mirror of social media, pick up something physical, real and dig your hands and heart into it. It's good for the soul. Might also make you live longer."
"It doesn’t even really matter where you go, just getting out there is good. See stuff. Experience different cultures. Try to have conversations with people who don’t speak your language. It’s fun and eye opening and less boring than if you didn’t do it."
"I highly recommend getting a record player. And a dog. And then listening to a record with your dog."
