Artemis Fowl and His Dark Materials on the same list is interesting. I loved Artemis Fowl. It’s the one of the only two series in the world I ever reread. I also see now how it didn’t much for my arrogance. https://t.co/rNzBY31Kvg
His Dark Materials felt different. The non-separating counterpart. If Artemis Fowl made my aesthetic feel seen in a way I didn’t know was allowed, His Dark Materials showed me what my aesthetic could be. https://t.co/WrZogYvQ9L
It feels a bit like TMI or MTCB. Nerds want what they want. I wanted the dry/fast route to insight. It’s wrong to not give people what they want. I didn’t want the heartfulness thing yet. https://t.co/CJHtFy9nzC
Sometimes you give people them what they ask for, not the “right” thing. You give it to them because that’s what matters. But it also helped me to be laced with memes about being “top-heavy” or having chakra models or embodiment conversations. https://t.co/1eBvRSPIef
They planted the seeds for a context in which those memes really could take hold. So those roots may sink deep, rather than stay compartmentalised in the buffer of my logical, wannabe but not truly there mind. https://t.co/yPo7POeYkw
It’s kind to give people what they want, while lacing them with the memes for future success. It’s kind, because it’s giving them something they truly need. They want to be met, in what they want. https://t.co/cIchhShHII
n.b.: the kind response here is not to insist “just wait!” — they’re not in a place to receive that, they want to do 🤷♂️⏳😕 it’s to give them something easy & useful to do in the meantime, that’s adjacent and they can do, and they can see results from 👨🌾🐣🌿
This is as real as any need you perceive. It’s the rabbit, of being met where they are, versus the monkey, of giving them what they’ll need eventually. keywords: solo mode https://t.co/VtUaByxrBO https://t.co/l3V17NVuju
