Social media is an evil machine that shows you the worst book takes you've ever seen.

Related to this, I recently found a post on Instagram advertising Japanese lit. recs that aren't Haruki Murakami because of some sexist remarks he made. (I didn't know about the sexist remarks. It wouldn't necessarily surprise me, but that's neither here nor there. I don't have a problem with recommending other Japanese authors.)

The list included work by Yukio Mishima. I can't.

here's a secret: whatever you're doing, you have to root for your peers with all your heart because it forces you to root for yourself too. I've seen people in various spheres of my life (workplaces, education, art, activism) fall into the trap of envy and resentment when they see others succeed while they struggle, and it always always goes hand in hand with them pulling back and giving up and stagnating.

when you let yourself get sour grapes about shit, you tacitly give up on yourself. when you sit around hoping other people will flop and fail so you can catch up to them, you stop trying. it's a fantasy of mediocrity, the vain wish that other people would walk so you could take the gold medal at a jog. wouldn't you rather come last place at 27mph?
