one thing about leaving social media but still having the desires and behaviors behind social media use is that no other site that you use updates fast enough. what do you mean you can't entertain me and give me dopamine hits every 2 seconds? what do you mean I actually have to entertain myself? what do you mean it's okay to be bored??? 😂

Remember that although imposter syndrome is an individual feeling it is also a byproduct of systemic factors like professional spaces built for other demographics, cultures that reward overproduction, and the monetization of self-expression. You can develop chronic stress if you don't learn to deal with it.

"mess up a little to remind yourself it's not a big deal" is my favourite advice, i feel like it would work for me even though i've never tried it

I also recently gorged at a Korean hotpot place. Probably ate more meat in that one meal than I had in the rest of the month combined. Delicious

web design struggles: i gave up and decided to make the mobile view for my new/old personal site different from desktop because it's too much work to figure out but now i wonder if i prefer that one more

I would like to work on my new layout today but my cat says it's actually the best time in the whole universe for us to sit on the couch together and me not to use my hands.

Hello! I've updated my URL from maxcrunch to crunchweb. Just letting you know since I'm part of the Hatchery club :)

I am changing my URL, but it'll take a few days to update everything. rather than doing it smartly (changing everything on the site, then changing the URL, so there's minimal interruption), i'm going to change the URL and see what breaks then update it.
my apologies for the inconvenience. please update your links to my site to go to https://crunchweb.neocities.org (previous maxcrunch)

it's not really a complaint. it's actually a good thing to notice I think.
I'm trying to keep up with demand, but writing is hard!
I found that empty space felt incredibly uncomfortable at first. Recognizing the grip that it has on us is an important step. Some particularly worthwhile endeavors to help fill the space are physical, slow-paced things (going for a long walk, writing in a journal, reading a book, drawing, gardening). Anything where the feedback loop takes much more time than 2 seconds :)
@win1999 - yes thank you! sometimes I forget I just need to fill the space with something else. I did take a walk today although it was hot AF so I didn't like it, but that's still better than doing stuff I don't like on social media. @skep - #dobetter I'm struggling here. it's hot outside.
