“In the middle of the night, in my dreams…” – TS

you’ve gotta stay calm. or get calm. or,
for fuck’s sake, at least figure out how to pretend
to be calm.
slow down. not so much coffee.

it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
i i i am not a bot

open instead of closed
items, but no agenda
slow, slower, slowest
listen, wait, observe

it’s not what you hear, it’s how you hear it.
it’s not what you hear, it’s how you hear it.
it’s not what you hear, it’s how you hear it.
i i i am not a bot

sincere, but not-so overwrought;
don’t swing for the fences
| exaggerate
| overcommit
don’t run other people down — it’s a bad look, and not very fair
((jesus doesn’t want me for a sunbeam, but he was right about a few things))

meta is bad. just say it or do it;
meta is meta bad: don’t narrate what you’re gonna say
just go do what you’re gonna do,
then show it in the past tense

jokes optional
connect
if you dominate the conversation, it’s not really a conversation
it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
it’s not what you hear, it’s how you hear it.
