Would you like to learn the basics of the #Stoic way of life with good passions?
Associate Professor Sarah Byers (Boston College) gives a good intro to it in this episode on Augustine: https://historyofphilosophy.net/augustine-byers.
โThere is a mass exodus underway from #Twitter and #Facebook....
Zuckerberg got worried about losing users and decided we were all going to live as legless low-polygon cartoons in a metaverse that no one wanted...
Twitter got bought out by a low-attention-span, overconfident billionaire...
Once things got just a little worse, advertisers and users started to quit, and the long-delayed MySpacing of Facebook and Beboizing of Twitter began."

If you decide to keep your #Twitter account but make it a carcass without any actual urge to use it, here's the holy grail of cleaning up your Twitter (for technical/tech-curious people):
- Untick all twitter ad settings https://gist.github.com/padajo/b95b42d5627306e33fb6bade63d90e18
- Unfollow everyone on twitter.com https://gist.github.com/JamieMason/7580315
- Remove your Twitter likes https://gist.github.com/cacheflowe/6c26bb757d934e2e6c68c9287148af58 #TwitterMigration #TwitterTakeover #TwitterExodus

Just moved servers, so hereโs a fresh #introduction: Iโm Whitney, Iโm a #writing professor, my backgroundโs in #linguistics and #cogsci, and Iโm obsessed with all things #language, #learning, and the mind. I also teach #mindfulness classes. Iโm really into #knitting and #sewing my own clothes, and also playing #violin and #ukulele. My to-read pile is absurdly long and is a mix of non-fiction and #scifi. Iโm a #UU who grew up on #StarTrek and look forward to meeting folks here.
