"Some designs of emojis are very different for the same codepoint, especially the ones depicting emotions/reactions. Examples coming to mind are 😨, 🔫. What are your thoughts on this?" - The (water) pistol 🔫 was originally a hand gun which looked a lot more real. In response to its frequent use in criminal or other unsavory contexts (e.g., as a threat), most platforms replaced it with the colorful plastic toy gun design in 2018. (In 2024, Elon Musk had it turned back into a realistic hand gun for the Twemoji design 🙄)
I'm torn. On the one hand, I don't think we can stay on top of all potential uses of emojis (or should even try to limit them) and people who want to use emojis for threats probably can still do so. On the other hand, I do find it rather hard to imagine that the green plastic 🔫 could be used as a threat... so... I guess good job, designers/tech firms? #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

“Move your body for 20 minutes a day; get out for a walk – it doesn’t have to be vigorous exercise – and get some sunshine on your skin.” This can help combat anxious thoughts. Yoga, meditation or mindfulness are worth exploring too.
And most of all, don't about exposure to things that make you anxious. Avoidance only makes the problem worse!

I will go on record as still backing Arne Slot, which for many will brand me as a heretic. I can live with that.
I don't always agree with Tomkins, but his piece today was excellent and I fully agree with the vast majority of his arguments.
I would go even further, suggesting the failure (not Slot's) to land a proper CDM, has been a hole below the waterline for two seasons.
For @… this coming Monday, we will discuss Barbara L. Fredrickson’s paper “The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions.” A PDF is available at the following link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.…

After a ~15 year hiatus, I've started going back to #unitarianuniversalist services. This morning we sung Blue Boat Home and it unlocked so many emotions. I think I need more of this in my life.

Punk is the way.
"...stop wasting time, energy, and emotions inside the gigantic, vacant '80s malls all social networks have become."

I had a weird dream where I was talking to someone at some kind of ceremony, I think a funeral, where I had timidly painted my face with clay as part of some ritual. This person was talking about how far society has come while our brains have not caught up.
Imagine if your ancient cave dwelling ancestors were dropped into this world of cars, office hours, budgets, climate change, and AI. They would be absolutely freaking out and struggling to understand things all the time... Just like you are now.
Society teaches us to suppress these emotions. You're supposed to be OK with giant metal boxes flying around you in rumbling stampedes, but you feel it in unexplained anxiety. You're supposed to just fit your life into tight little bounds that ignore weather and season, but you feel it in more unexplained anxiety and depression. We are all part of something so big and complicated we can't make sense of it, we cannot possibly comprehend it all, it is simply too much to fully grasp the implications of our individual actions within global capitalism. Should we be surprised by our urge to simply destroy it, by the anger and desire to simply "smash" something far more complex than can be met with simple violence?
Some part of my brain was trying to remind me to be compassionate to myself. Perhaps that reminder can be useful to you as well.

Finished the 3rd season of "Shrinking" yesterday. I love those characters. Lacks the depth of British shows, but boy, Bill Lawrence and Bred Goldstein got a hand for emotions.
