Pura vida slack line day in #biarritz

Already spoke all that before … you do you & respect others different than you.

In a world where feminism doesn’t represent equality, if I could give just one piece of advice to my little sister if she were a feminist, it would be this:

I know you think that modern feminism makes you free, makes you strong, and allows you to fight against injustices. I know because that’s how you’ve been taught. But there’s something you’re not seeing. Most women today think that modern feminism empowers them, but it’s a trap. It pushes you into a constant state of hatred and rage toward men, pointing fingers at things that have nothing to do with your well-being, your discomfort, or the well-being or discomfort of women. You’re fighting a battle that’s not even yours.

If you think about it, everything you’re defending so fiercely is nothing more than what’s politically correct. And the worst part is that, probably in an effort to feel accepted and to believe that you’re fighting for a just cause, you’re building your own cage—one that fills you with hatred and frustration without really defending what you think you are.

The next time you attend a protest or say ‘I am a feminist,’ ask yourself if you truly believe in everything modern feminism defends, or if, on the contrary, you’re seeking momentary satisfaction that actually pulls you away from your stability as a woman. Are you being strong, or are you, in reality, just falling prey to a social trap? And remember, you don’t have to be my little sister to start applying this advice.

People still ensconced in mainstream media are whining about the Washington Post doing something they don’t like. So they are gonna stomp their feet and cancel their subscription.

That will show ‘em!

No one cares.

There is literally an off-ramp for journalists called nostr. You can do journalism and get paid for it on nostr. You can’t get cancelled, censored, or shadowbanned.

Don’t whine about the old system. Build something better. Build your own journalism. Your own audience that can’t be taken from you when Substack or Patreon or whomever changes the rules.

If you serve the public, they will pay you. If you serve your own interests, they will cut you off. No advertisers to tell you what you can and can’t say.

We used to innovate in the United States and that’s what made it great. Let’s get back to that. Where is your sense of adventure? Get off your asses or keep whining that a giant company owned by Jeff Bezos has easily predictable issues.

For context, my draft is up to chapter 38, reaching into 80% draft completion, and the third act is the hardest. I’m moving forward but this is some tough shit.

Has anyone stayed in Jaco in Costa Rica before? Thinking of making a stop there for a couple nights on my next trip to Uvita.

I go to Publics, near Barefoot Beach Cafe. Ohana Surf teaches there and Jamie O’Brien’s surf school teaches on the opposite side of the jetty, which is still Publics, I believe. Baby Queens is good on a small day. My all time fave is still Chuns Reef on the North Shore. That’s where I learned to surf!
