humanizing the professional landscape

i think linkedin-posting is routinely dogged online because everyone on there posts the same kind of either bootlicker lapdog content like "i love my job. i love my coworkers. employment is incredible!" or the kind of pretentious aspirational thought-leader drivel that reads as (or is legitimately expressive of being) arrogant and self-important to a fault i think there's room on the platform for a kind of deviation that humanizes professional life, whether that's talking about your work and what it means to you or talking about broader industry trends in a novel way or possibly discussing the challenges of existing in the professional landscape... of course linkedin is where your job, peers, and future employers are, so maybe that kind of content and demonstrated independent thinking is a liability, which is probably why everyone sticks to the tried-and-true formats that are dogged as cringe or banally evil i think if you want to post to linkedin you should because why not, but i think the "where" (linkedin) is not really as important as the "what", "why", or "how" – if you're satisfied with your answers to those questions go with god and whatnot. what determines if you're cool and relatable if you post on linkedin is if your linkedin posts are cool and relatable!

Choosing not to fill ur mind With content

i feel like a massive hypocrite writing this, but im gonna be honest.. the past year i've been constantly listening to/watching youtube videos and ig reels in order to fill the silence. just loads and loads of useless information and empty talks. last night i realized that doing so has been keeping me from thinking about stuff, listening to music and in general, being productive. i was filling my head with useless noise so i wouldn't think. it ended up being a comfortable bubble of bullshit that was hard to break out of. today i stopped the video, grabbed my notes of things i want to DO and played some music in the background. felt much better. i might relapse— i have many times, but im tired of being a vertically scrolling thumb (again).

Walking!

i used to ride my bicycle/take public transport all the time, but walking is really good actually! it slows down the wildness of modern life, shows you small things you would otherwise drive past. its all around a good idea if you have time to spare of course. great for calming down, thinking, good for relieving stress, good for meeting new people

ART!

going to the museums in my city, going to events, visiting art schools as a spectator to view their expositions it gives me this.. je ne sais quoi feeling. like, euphoria and inspiration and hope in a weird combined way. thinking about art, talking about art - and by that i mean anything from jewelry to graphic design, paintings, poetry, (short) film and sculptures. just fills me with purpose unlike anything else. im watching my sims be succesful artists and im like.. damn i wanna be that.
