It’s more fun the more people you have. Which sucks for me as I lack a lot of irl friends. Hopefully that will change now that I’ve moved to the big city though

Internet friends are real. My best friend of 16+ years is someone I met on a Harry Potter fan site when we were in high school. We talk every day and last year we went to Singapore together to meet another friend we made on the same site. These relationships are just as meaningful as the ones "in real life." Sometimes more.))

Was just thinking, when someone says think outside the box....why does it have to be a box? Why can't it be anything you want? Like a closet? Or a door? Hehe
Why did we decide creativity requires escaping from something? Why do so many of our metaphors for creativity imply that ordinary thinking is a restriction?
It's because it hinges on the idea that everyone wants to be ordinary (aka "normal") and that being anything other should be punishable socially. It stems from imperial modes of thinking that harm people not white-cis-straight-abled-perisex-etc because the idea of normal is centred on "some guy"-isms
