“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” James Baldwin"Whatever goes up must come down." And here we are, at the center of the arc, trapped in the gaudiest, most valuable, and most improbable water wheel the world has ever seen. Everything now, we must assume, is in our hands; we have no right to assume otherwise.” James Baldwin“Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death — ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible for life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. One must negotiate this as nobly as possible, for the sake of those who are coming after us. But white Americans do not believe in death, and this is why the darkness of my skin so intimidates them.” James Baldwin Baldwin's Book: The Fire Next TimeWikipedia for The Fire Next TimeAlok V.

You cannot imagine what it would be like to be dead, because death is an absence of existence. There is, literally, nothing to imagine – because nothingness itself cannot be imagined. There is no perspective, no view from nothingness, nothing to which it can be approximated. So that is the first recommendation: realise that being dead isn't an experience. Death itself isn't really a thing at all.

If the internet is an AYCE buffet of unlimited, endless options, there's bound to be items you find disgusting, that will make you physically ill. There's also bound to be items you find delicious AND nourishing and can't get enough of. But a majority of that buffet will be… fine. It will be mediocre filler foods that you don't remember eating at all. You may even fill yourself up on the “just okay ” foods and not realize how much better of a meal it could've been if you'd been more patient or critical with filling your plate. Not to say that mindless consumption isn't incredibly healing, sometimes.I just think it's become normal not to think about anything we engage with, and that can be more toxic than medicinal.It is not all bad, it is not all good, but it is not neutral either. It is what I make of it. It is a reflection of how I engage with it.It, like any tool, can be used as a weapon if we're not being conscious with how we wield it.This is why choosing to engage is such a powerful process.Deciding when it's too much, setting boundaries, creating realistic expectations, and being careful with not letting the algorithm co-opt my agency; all these take conscious effort.The key is staying present and conscious as often as you can.Engaging with shit because you want to, because you make the conscious choice to, not simply because it's there.I think a lot of us have become conditioned to believing “inconvenience is a barrier,” and in reality, on the other side of inconvenience is so much freedom and fulfillment.A healthy amount of resistance is what builds muscles, minds, and ideas. Friction is not the enemy.I think a healthy amount of well-placed friction is the only thing that keeps shit from sliding off the shelves and into a heap on the floor.We are constantly bombarded with shit trying to make us numb, sad, hopeless, defeated, so that we become so overwhelmed with the idea of any additional discomfort (even when it's the good kind) becomes absolutely unbearable.The wealth-hoarding class wants us to be good little cattle who give over our time, data, energy, money, and peace without questioning.So every time we act with intention, we push back against the systems of manipulation, profiting off of our misery.Read episode scripts on Julie's Medium Blog.SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!)DONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund AND THE Sudan Relief FundGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM AND YOUTUBESUBSCRIBE FOR BONUS CONTENT ON PATREON.The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

I accidentally ritualized something that is typically mundane, and that, in itself, is a magical and empowering act.Now, as much as I want to push society towards more “analog” and “slow” options because I genuinely think it would be good for us all to get off of these algorithms for good, it's not the only way to opt into more conscious consumption.“Consciously consuming” as a ritual, instead of a burden, can be applied to almost any aspect of life.When I take a moment to consider the vibe I'm seeking, before engaging with anything, I find myself being more critical with what I engage with. I also find the process to be ultimately more fulfilling and rewarding.If you are addicted to social media or streaming, this may be a difficult transition, but you don't have to change everything about your habits, right out of the gates.You can start with one intentional act a day. As a practice.Quickly, you'll realize just how much time and energy you've spent digesting shit that you didn't even enjoy. You'll start to notice how unfulfilled you tend to feel after spending hours online with no sense of purpose, and how it doesn't always have to feel that way.Read episode scripts on Julie's Medium Blog.SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!)DONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund AND THE Sudan Relief FundGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM AND YOUTUBESUBSCRIBE FOR BONUS CONTENT ON PATREON.The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

"It feels good to look down on people until you realize that being above society is also being apart from it.

How do we feel like we're not being watched, when we are being watched?Studies show that citizens tolerate being surveilled, and eventually stop thinking about it. But we tend to act more docile + reliable after we forget. The camera makes you more docile. It makes you a better employee. But the camera has taken something from you. Your complex and unstable kinetic energy. Everyday it reanimates your body in predictable loops.” The first time I realized I was being surveilled without my knowing, was at my first job. Cold Stone Creamery ice cream shop. The rumor was they'd sit at home and watch us at work, but I didn't believe it. One day, I mopped the front when I received a phone call saying, “you only dipped the mop once, the dining room requires three dips for a proper cleaning.” Needless to say, 16 year old me was shook. I never mopped without doing it their way, again. I behaved differently on my shifts, from there on out. I feeling anxious and paranoid — but I'd completely forgotten about what caused it. I just thought, “this is what work feels like.” So it effectively shocked me into submission, with very little effort. The camera is a gun. It's about power. And we all recognize what the power a camera holds. A video at our worst moment, can get you fired, arrested, or harassed. We cope with this reality in our own ways. We stop going out, we stop dancing, we stop interacting. We participate as viewers who critique and judge. Or we pick up the power ourselves, and turn the camera + surveillance and judgement to those around us. How has the surveillance state affected your behavior?Did you realize that the panopticon was affecting you at all?The only way we can learn to cope + navigate without losing ourselves or our humanity, is if we're willing to face it head on.

Cameras "take" and "capture" reality, but even when we know it's manufactured, we tend to trust what we can see. Today, we talk about the historical and psychological implications of photography.

I have tried to be conscious of any of the personally imposed surveillance that I take part in.It's futile, I'm sure, but: I opt out of everything I can possibly opt out of online. I talk shit to and about every Ring doorbell to anyone who will listen.I opt out of the biometric data collection at the TSA, despite some of the officers reminding me they have my data already. The point is, I like exercising my rights where the options still exist. Even if it is futile. And even if it is inconvenient for me, I'm not taking your online cookies. It deeply infuriates me that I'm not “allowed” to opt out of more. I can't use my phone, camera, printer, or any other piece of tech without signing the terms and conditions that hold your item (and your family) hostage unless you give up the rights to your entire personhood in a written contract. But you spend three paychecks on these items and it feels like a simple click will get you there, so you sign away without reading a damned thing. Everything I buy feels like just another way for a company to get more access to more of my personal data. The merchandise or service they provide is so obviously an inconvenience to them, at this point. Data is king. And for many companies, your attention has become far more valuable than cash. The dollar may crash but the need for your unpaid labor and energy will never end!!!READ THE SCRIPT FROM TODAY'S EPISODE on Julie's Medium Blog.SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!)DONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund AND THE Sudan Relief FundGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM AND YOUTUBESUBSCRIBE FOR BONUS CONTENT ON PATREON.The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

I realized trying to balance things by pushing back and forcing a reset, rather than allowing the swing of humanity, with the full spectrum of human emotions, and restore my faith that just existing is enough. I know that when I am my most inspired I can get inspired by a moth flying at a light, a mom smiling at her baby, and I am known to get emotional when an older person buys themselves ice cream. There is something beautiful and inspiring about the simple act of existence, in it's purest form.Let yourself be perceived just existing, and have faith that it's enough, and you'll automatically reset your systems so you can automatically begin building systems that push you towards the more sustainable, fulfilling, and balanced world you're so desperate for. But it starts with your own.

If the “experience” is the goal, failure ceases to exist.“you will figure it out.” You should trust that. If you don't believe it, maybe its time to give yourself a chance to prove yourself wrong. In what ways have you been your own biggest bully? In what ways have you become your own opps?Some of you* have been playing really small and trying to fit in boxes that were never built for you and you're wondering why you're uncomfortable? Meanwhile, you're contorting to fit into a box when there's sprawling land right underneath it, if you'd just stick a limb out and touch it.*meUntil you find the right fit, but don't blame yourself for cultural problems. Just recognize them so you can create better cultures and rituals around things, when and where you can.

Sometimes, when the facades are crumbling, you may start to recognize the need for a controlled demolition. Not to destroy anything of value, but to strategically dismantle some of the more daunting aspects of your current human experience. Any routines, beliefs, relationships, that are no longer helpful, we must be willing to strip back to the foundation, so we can actually assess the underlying damage, reset, and rebuild. The thought experiment of a controlled demolition is very helpful, not because it's important to think of collapse, but because it can be empowering to remember your ability to rebuild better. When you take place in a controlled demolition, you are attempting to address what is worth saving, what is worth improving, and what needs to be completely gutted and reimagined from the ground up.

On this week's show, I'll be talking about solar panels and schools, but maybe not from the angle you might be expecting. As many of you might know, the government decided that every school in the country would be given a set of solar panels. And the main talk from those in the profession has been why The decision was made that no matter what size your school is, you'll be getting the same number of solar panels.So very tiny schools will be getting the same number of solar panels as a very big school, which of course doesn't make any sense. However, I don't think I'd be able to make an entire podcast out. of that. And instead, I want to look at the solar panel issue from a different perspective. And that is who's going to own them.

IRA Rollovers: Rolling over to an IRA is beneficial as it defers the tax liability to a later date. 1:25 Federal Policy: The federal government allows this rollover at 59 and a half because they understand people might need to access their money to secure their financial future. 1:48 Building a Financial Foundation: The video emphasizes the importance of building a solid financial foundation for retirement, akin to constructing a stable house. 2:55 Considerations Before Withdrawing: Before withdrawing or rolling over TSP funds, consider why you want to do it, where the money will go, and whether you can afford to retire.

Since then, we've seen a rise in the disclosure (and exploitation) of vulnerabilities in open source software, such as the famous Log4Shell vulnerability that was dubbed as the “worst security flaw of the decade”. This resulted in studies being conducted and determining that open-source components make up more than half of an application codebase. The security implications of such a ratio can be significant. While organizations spend considerable time and effort ensuring that the custom code developed by them is secure, usually little to no consideration is put into evaluating the security of the used open-source components. This presentation will introduce Software Composition Analysis (SCA) - the process of identifying vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies. We'll discuss the criteria you should consider when selecting an SCA solution and the importance of integrating such tools in your DevOps pipelines.

You loved Laura Friedman Williams when she first joined us in June 2021 to celebrate the launch of her first book "Available: A Memoir of Sex and Dating After A Marriage Ends" and so many listeners found comfort and hope in her candid recount of her journey to finding her inner woman again after her long-term marriage ended with her husband's affair. Well she's back and better than ever althought the last year has had some highs and lows as she has navigated the finalization of her divorce, the moving out of the marital home and the purchase and renovation of her very own new home. In her unique and special way, Laura shares an update on her personal journey that is, as always, deeply personal and revealing. You will find much to relate to, laugh about and cry too as we catch up with Laura today as the book officially launches in the United States. Tune in and find out why after all she has been through, Laura says she feels today "that anything is possible." If you did not have the opportunity to listen to Laura's original, very special two-part episode, you don't want to miss them: Some Times Too Much is Just Enough Part One Some Times Too Much is Just Enough Part Two More about Laura Friedman Williams: Laura Friedman Williams is a native New Yorker whose writing credits consist of countless PTA newsletters and program notes for talent shows and school auctions, as well as ghostwritten bar mitzvah speeches for many of her friends. Her wit and wisdom have not yet made it to a larger audience, but her years spent raising children and running events at her children's schools have kept her writing steady and sharp. She credits her degree in English from Washington University and the ten formative years she spent in book publishing – first in Subsidiary Rights at Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing) and then at Henry Holt & Company, then as a book scout and finally as a literary agent – for giving her a deep love and respect for the written word. She credits the break-up of her marriage for finally giving her the subject matter about which she both needed and wanted to write. She lives in downtown Manhattan with her three children.
