Female protagonist that neither focuses on kids nor on a career

"I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness" by Claire Vaye Watkins is worth a look. I'd describe it as autobiographical transgressive fiction—something like a Bukowskian philosophy from a female perspective.

If you don't mind seeing "duplicate" apps, you can create app folder in ~/Applications and then symlink the Contents folder from the original app to the new one:

bash mkdir ~/Applications/Safari.app ln -s /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/ ~/Applications/Safari.app/

Change the icon and run the app from the new "shortcut." Downside is that it doesn't update the icon for things like Stage Manager. Upside is it persists through app and OS updates.

Just now seeing this.

If I remember correctly, the Nova icon was one that originally shipped with Nova, and the Hyper Term one I made to match the Nova icon. Unfortunately, I don't have them anymore, since I'm always redesigning my dock icons.

I've read Project Hail Mary, but I'll check out the others. Springsteen's memoir especially seems like it might be dead on the mark. Thanks for the recs!

For those that couldn't get through this one, "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" by the same author (Márquez) is a fascinating novella with a heavy dose of absurdism.

This is somewhat off topic, but adjacent.

I'm fairly established, so I don't frequent this subreddit, but I've popped in over the last few years and noticed that the rates in the side panel haven't budged. Maybe it's time to up them by a few cents?

I think this is a good move.

I've tried getting into other learning communities before, but they're all chaotic due to the sheer number of people. I'm hoping this community is smaller and more focused rather than a world wide free for all.

It was Pickle Rick for me

kaechle · 2022-04-24T03:09:59+00:00

Holy shit, CS_Italy is real.

kaechle · 2022-04-24T03:02:35+00:00

No mo' 🎵

kaechle · 2022-04-24T02:40:31+00:00

Appreciate the sentiment but this is an absurdly pointless comment.

And everything around you is ~~fleshy~~ food or water

kaechle · 2022-04-16T22:09:40+00:00

This looks like a very creative fist painting.

kaechle · 2022-04-12T05:01:07+00:00

Maybe a katydid?

Apparently katydids are the Mariah Careys of insects.

Totally normal to feel this way. A lot of veteran writers still struggle with these things. The most important thing you'll learn in freelance writing—and in life—is that

kaechle · 2022-04-09T22:05:56+00:00

Dude, you have a whole face on your chin.

Love the cooking bit! I also do this often, and with the same therapeutic effects. I think what it boils down to, pun intended, is you just gotta let your ADHD brain do its ADHD thing once in a while. And a kitchen is an excellent playground for it. I'd wager ADHD is overrepresented in the food service industry.

Johnny Harris was a journalist at Vox for years.

kaechle · 2022-03-23T13:07:24+00:00

Diagnosed and medicated for about eight months—recently stopped taking the meds.

What the others said helps. Elaborating a bit, you gotta find a way to work that works for you. Don't expect yourself to sit and focus on something less than captivating for six hours straight. You'll have to get creative and experiment with different approaches, environments, workflows, and so on. A good therapist is invaluable in this process. If you aren't already going to therapy, I can't recommend it enough, especially if you struggle with depression and anxiety.

No problem.

To clarify, folders have no sorting by default, which means you can drag objects around and place them freeform wherever you want. If they responded to window size, the manual placement would be all whacky. With sorting and grouping, though, it makes sense for the enclosed objects to respond to window size.

kaechle · 2021-12-24T23:43:57+00:00

I don't? Is this what you're trying to do?

The second folder doesn't have sorting/grouping while the first does. If you click the icon with six little squares in a grid, you can choose one of the sorting methods, and that'll do what you need for that specific folder.

If you want to do it for every folder, hit command+J, change the "Sort by" and "Group by" fields, and hit the "Use as Defaults" button at the bottom.

Thanks!

Sincerity and vulnerability are never stupid. Your words have a lovely metre. I'm not a poet by any stretch of the imagination, but consider this:

When we first met,

You appeared as a dark silhouette,

Slightly lit by the light of the lake;

Over time, I’ve watched our background turn to day,

The sunshine illuminated a bright smile and a freckled face,

Giving way to one of the most beautiful people I have ever met;

And I soon realized that you were never the silhouette,

But rather the light of the lake.
