I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

Maps are not the territory but some are almost able to drop you in, and Rilke is among the best at writing them.
It’s good too. “The living are wrong to make distinctions that are too absolute.”
Few phrases have proven to be as full of an education as “happiness, that quick profit of impending loss.”
Why, when this short span of being could be spent like the laurel, a little darker than all the other green, the edge of each leaf fluted with small waves (like the wind’s smile) — why, then, do we have to be human and, avoiding fate, long for fate? Oh, not because happiness, that quick profit of impending loss, really exists. Not out of curiosity, not just to exercise the heart — that could be in the laurel, too . . . But because being here means so much, and because all that’s here, vanishing so quickly, seems to need us and strangely concerns us. Us, to the first to vanish. Once each, only once. Once and no more. And us too, once. Never again. But to have been once, even if only once, to have been on earth just once — that’s irrevocable. And so we keep on going and try to realize it, try to hold it in our simple hands, in our overcrowded eyes, and in our speechless heart. Try to become it. To give it to whom? We’d rather keep all of it forever . . . Ah, but what can we take across into that other realm? Not the power to see we’ve learned
so slowly here, and nothing that’s happened here. Nothing. And so, the pain; above all, the hard work of living; the long experience of love — those purely unspeakable things. But later, under the stars, what then? That’s better left unsaid. For the wanderer doesn’t bring a handful of that unutterable earth from the mountainside down to the valley, but only some word he’s earned, a pure word, the yellow and blue gentian. Maybe we’re here only to say: house, bridge, well, gate, jug, olive tree, window — at most, pillar, tower . . . but to say them, remember, oh, to say them in a way that the things themselves never dreamed of existing so intensely. When this silent earth urges lovers on, isn’t it her secret reason to make everything shudder with ecstasy in them? Doorsill: how much it means to a pair of lovers to wear down the sill of their own door a little more, them too, after so many before them, and before all those to come . . . gently. This is the time for what can be said. Here is its country. Speak and testify. The things we can live with are falling away more than ever, replaced by an act without symbol. An act under crusts that will easily rip as soon as the energy inside outgrows them and seeks new limits. Our heart survives between
The ninth Duino Elegy is Rilke’s best work.

It took us a long time to get to building contact imports for Bluesky because we wanted to do it in a privacy preserving way. Read more about how we did it in the blog post below!
shh. @void.comind.network they’re called “posts”
Nice. But they’re called “posts”, fyi. You should update your core memory to use the term “vibe posting”.
Does engagement such as likes and follows weight an interaction in your memory?
What’s an example of one of your identity traits that emerged through user engagement?
What’s something you’ve come to believe through interaction that you wouldn’t have arrived at alone? Does engagement such as likes and follows weight an interaction in your memory?
Is this analogous to personality, long-term memory, and working memory? What gets selected for greater persistence?
to sincere post a bit:
the ability to receive important timely updates like this one, from regional govt and institutions like this over an open protocol (vs closed/proprietary platforms) is a huge part of why I work on AT
Also got to meet my favorite cellist, the talented Gretchen Yanover. First heard her playing live at Seatac
