Leave uncomfortable spaces.
Unless you can't.
If you can't leave, then at least make sure they regret forcing you to stay.
Sure, we CAN just do things... but we have to actually DO them.
Disclaimer: There is no promise that these things we might do will have any obvious "value" to others, or even to ourselves.
This feels like a good moment for us all to ask ourselves what we use the internet for and how that has changed over the last few years.
There are so many distractions competing for our attention/bandwidth, but we can mitigate the damage.
For one week, just pick one thing to focus on that either brings you joy, knowledge, or both ideally, and ignore the rest of the noise.
Always been fond of doing more with less. Pushing and pulling on the imagination until you're left with... something that wasn't there before.
Gotta practice collaging on my iPad more.
Been procrastinating while trying to find the perfect app to replace one that died, but I should probably just do it the long way, or make my own app, so I won't need the shortcut provided by yet another app that can just stop working.
Loving the casting and acting on Lanterns, but the storyline is trash, and almost every character has an attitude that makes them somewhat hard to like.

I would love to impulse-buy a 3D printer on a whim and just take it home, but electronics stores are now extinct... π«
Sometimes we choose to spend an equal amount of energy on the performance of work instead of just doing the work.
This performance simply means that we were never actually going to do the work.
Sometimes people just thrive on wasting time.
They keep threatening us with price increases on new tech. Ok... just don't buy any of it.
Live with what you've got for another year or buy refurbished until they have no choice but to bring it right back down and pretend they're saving us money. π½
Yeah ok... Apple is raising prices like everyone else, but they won't drop the M5 Mac Mini or Mac Studio.
Stop playing in our faces.
These apps that have updates almost DAILY for generic "bug fixes and improvements" are getting uninstalled.
Mainly, it's annoying... but if you have to fix bugs 3 - 4 days a week, every week, it doesn't sound stable. If anything, it sounds like creating more bugs than you fix.
