  • I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we conserve our energy. Some folks believe that being shady—sarcastic, withholding, throwing side-eye, or wrapping everything in layers of snark—is a way of keeping their power.

  • He estado pensando mucho en cómo conservamos nuestra energía. Aquí en Andalucía se habla del mal de ojo. Lo ves en pulseras, colgantes, azulejos con ojos azules pintados.

  • I was bouncing ideas back-and-forth with my philosophy AI the other day, when I realized something: I’ve spent a lifetime living under dogmas that promised to carry my pain.
