I will block anyone who brings negativity and emotional dysregulation into my feed. I always have, this isn't new, I am just stating this rule again.

DO YOU ... just don't bring your madness, anger, pessimism, and seetheposting into the garden I curate here on CoSo.

Reason, logic, kindness, and regulation are always welcome in my feed.

If all you want to do is set fire to everything then you're going to only create more problems for a lot of people who already have enough to deal with.

The world needs - and has always needed - grounded, emotionally regulated, spiritual, logical, and critically minded people, but it needs them no more than ever.

It needs communities of people who have the same understandings of openness, empathy, and what it means to be a healthy and balanced person who wants to help build things up, not tear them down out of anger, madness, vengeance, and other dysregulated and intoxicating emotions.

Choose your friends, family, and acquaintances wisely.

Angry people will ALWAYS be angry. You cannot reason with people who choose anger over all else. I'm not going to keep repeating what Seneca said about anger being akin to madness ... you can look up all that stuff. It's not your job to try and FIX or CONVINCE people who choose madness. It never was.

Your job is to be the best you can be for yourself and others. To protect yourself and those you love. To be strong, focused, sane, and well minded. Such people will always find each other. ❤️

5/

SelfNESS is key.

Many people think selfish and selfness are the same, they are not. Selfish is doing something for yourself at the expense of another. SelfNESS is doing something for yourself so you can be better for others. Focusing on your own needs and health is important if you're to be able to care for others and be your best for your loved ones.❤️

Focus on YOU, not on what other people are doing, saying, believing etc. You need to bolster YOURSELF in whatever way is best for YOU.

4/

For the 1000th time: you DO NOT NEED TO INTERACT WITH ANYONE OR ANYTHING that you see in your feed or anywhere else online. Mind your own business and focus on your own life, your own needs, and your own space to express yourself.

If something is too upsetting for you, ignore it. If something is too realistic for you, move on from it. If people are too negative and nasty and broken or dysregulated for you, let them go or ignore them.

Self care is IMPORTANT and more necessary than ever.

3/

I don't attack people for how they choose to go through life as far as coping mechanisms. If you're a hopeful person or an optimistic person that is 1000% your business and it has nothing to do with me or anyone else. As I am constantly saying ... DO YOU.

It is not something you have to justify to anyone and you don't need to argue with people about how they choose to move through the world or what mechanisms they use.

That includes NEGATIVE people and doombringers and seetheposters.

2/

Many people mistake realism for pessimism because it seems devoid of hope. Hope is a self deception and often usually a lie that people believe in because realism is too difficult to process.

Despite what you believe realism is not the same as pessimism, nor is it the opposite of optimism. It's a realistic view based on past and present evidence, critical thinking, logic, and the correlation of all of those things. It does not include self deception, delusions or preferred definitions.

BIG’s HQ is designed to be pretty energy-efficient, given its size and type. The roof is marked with solar panels to cut down on grid-based power use. A combination of a geothermal energy system and natural ventilation delivers 84% of heating requirements, and 100% of its cooling.

The building is made from Uni-Green concrete, which was developed in collaboration with Unicon. A section of the cement clinker was replaced with calcined clay and lime filler, leading to a carbon dioxide reduction of around 25% in comparison to a traditional concrete mix.

The interior adopts a lot of concrete, and some wood too and is designed to be free-flowing, with an ample amount of floor space.

The Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is known for creating extraordinary and unique buildings, they recently designed their own headquarters, and we’re really quite curious to know more about it. The HQ is called Piranesian and is in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Considering how elaborate and wild some of BIG's architectural creations are, I was surprised to see something so modest - for lack of a better word - for their official headquarters. It is NICE though and has BIG "feel" to it.

The new #PrincessMononoke theme design is the latest in Saitama Prefecture-based toymaker Ensky’s Paper Theater series of compact papercraft kits.

By layering cutouts on top of each other within the frame, a sense of depth is created to incredible effect.

The new kit is priced at 2,970 yen (US$19.80) and stands 6.3 inches tall when assembled.

Many more Ghibli themed kits are available as well. The whole lineup can be ordered through the Donguri Kyowakoku online store.

On November 9 Rosé and Bruno Mars’ music video for their hit collab single surpassed 300 million views on YouTube in just 22 days, 6 hours, and 30 minutes.

Not only is “APT.” now the fastest music video of 2024—by any artist of any genre—to hit 300 million views on YouTube, but it is also the sixth-fastest of all time breaking the previous record of approximately 25 days held by PSY’s 2013 hit “Gentleman,” which remained unbeaten for 11 years.

I've been tracking my health, including sleep, since way before I had the tools to do it. I have a lot of manual data on paper and later Google docs so everything I collect these days is mostly stuff I am already aware of but the data points I get now from all the various instruments I use help to line things up in more definitive ways. Sleep data with EEG data for example solidifies what I already know and gives me something to actually SEE as far as what's going on. Tech is great that way. 👍🏾

93/88 is great going into the weekend. Optimal sleep with 23% restorative sleep is absolutely excellent. Gonna be an epic day. 👍🏾

I have been paying closer attention to my chronotype schedule and I do find that when it lines up, there is a significant difference in my #chronicpain. I have been correlating data manually on this for about 2 months. I don't make anything definitive until I have 6 months of data but it's looking like a real correlation.
