alright im going through my old files again and rediscovered a shitty unfinished sci-fi epic poem thing i was writing sometime when i was 14/15/idfk. all i remember about it is that it was gonna keep doing this countdown and changing structure accordingly for a really long time, i was thinking of depicting the character finding love in an ethereal sorta way for the ending, and it was gonna incorporate a enochian number square for some reason.

SIXTEEN CYCLES AGO,

a smouldering sunset steps away stops scorching her scattered populace, of scar ed, smoke-cycling children trapped in a limbo they weren't old enough to understand.

SIXTEEN CYCLES AGO, the sky dances from gold to muddy grime in lockstep with their lover, and none on Upkeak's face bend in the slightest sur as i kneel, rifle over roof's edge, poised for his arrival.

SIXTEEN CYCLES AGO, his carrier cuts through the congregating crust in the clouds, almost doing Sky a favor t…

„My new system is, simply, no system at all. I write what I think. I delete what I don’t need. I don’t capture everything. I don’t try to. I read what I feel like. I think in conversation, in movement, in context. I don’t build a second brain. I inhabit the first.”
The PKM-movement never took off for me since it feels like building and bulding and building… Just one more note! It’s like productivity snake-oil.

Content warning: Tiago Forte on thinking about climate change

Good to see Tiago Forte talking about this. A lot of people read his stuff.
(He's a writer/teacher best known for the "Building a Second Brain" framework.)
"It was that summer when climate change stopped being an abstract concept and became viscerally personal for me. I realized that this wasn’t a one-time freak event—every summer we could expect deteriorating air quality from rampant wildfires. ...
"This convergence of physical heat, failing infrastructure, and human vulnerability isn’t just a temporary inconvenience. It’s a preview of the fundamental challenge that Jeff Goodell explores in The Heat Will Kill You First, a book that forced me to confront an uncomfortable truth: all our routines for productive living and working are built on the assumption of a stable climate. It no longer makes sense for me to teach people how to build productive systems without taking into account the increasing instability of our wider environment."
