All this because I said I haven't met a lot of old older people in Tech here 😭😭😭😭 Genuinely though, are the tech spaces surrounding us heavily 20-35 averaging or what? Where are the 50 and 60 year old mentors at? In Ethiopia?

Heaven's case still haunts me. I remember signing a petition back then too. However, our legal system seems to misunderstand that it is only her who had been wronged. This is the least we can do. But let's do it. And in due time, we will be louder. Fuck the men who continue to be more barbaric than a prehistoric rock, and the law which keeps emancipating them. Things are so bad that the next petition that comes up is for criminalizing marital rape 🤦‍♂ [Petition]

Two things (both came in convo with Occipital): - The first one is on immortality. My argument is that at one point, you'd lose meaning because you don't have a deadline. His argument is that there are infinite creations you can experience and create, that you can never get bored. And honestly, I can see that, very much. - The second is how we, as human beings, can take the basics of what we're given and transform it in such different ways that you get a lot of unique perspectives. My point of view here is with art. It's essentially the equivalent of how many colors we've been able to create from very few fundamental colors and how many ways we've been able to transform those. It's insane bchas, the amount we create and continue to create. It's brilliant, it's beautiful, and it's truly endless, it's crazy.

🤌🤌🤌

Guys, I have a complaint about a fellow telegram creator. It's been too long, I have to let it out. Three things:

One, every time I meet and have a conversation with this person, I'm left with more questions than when I came. I think better, deeper, and I pick on more nuances than before. This is not an easy life guys, I'm being challenged. Second, this person drops such gems of wisdom that I find out to profoundly impact my life for months afterwards. There have been simple statements he made that literally, I'm not exaggerating, have transformed my life and have made it much richer. He's making my life too better guys, bekagn. Third, and this is the most important one. He keeps noticing stuff I should've noticed about the place I grew up in. What do you mean you're making me question my life for 10 minutes straight by showing me a fixture that I last noticed when I was 7? In the damn place I grew up in, and pass by at least once per week. How dare you give me this whiplash? This person is too wholesome to exist. Bekagn bekagn bekagn. We need a Telegram court for this :(((

I actually have lost interest in it. I have no desire for someone to find out that the backs of my upper arms are sensitive or that I have freckles on my back or that the veins on my chest are very green. I find no comfort in thinking that someone will laugh at my jokes or hunger for my lips or find my chopped up paintings pretty. The prospect of learning someones favorite food or preferred combination of colors or the slant of their writing does not excite me. I do not wish to know and I do not wish to be known. Not anymore. There is no bleeding heart in my chest that wails for its other half. My brain is lacking of the static, the frantic buzz that accompanies the need be stimulated, validated, celebrated by another. I don't yearn. I dont want. Anyone. Love. It's strange because I used to, as long as I remember I've been wanting to meld with someone, to be chosen, to consume and be consumed. I don't feel like that anymore. There is no missing in me. No reminiscing of a past nor dreaming of a future. There is only now and I'm suspended in a strange space of just ... being. Alone. And for the first time in a long time, I don't wish that someone was there with me. Perhaps someday I will want someone to be in all the nooks and crannies of my being again. That's just not today. #its2am #donotworryaboutme #genuinelyitsinsultingstop
