One symptom that characterizes my MS pain is my skin being sensitive to scratching. Sometimes I just want to relieve an itch without thinking and end up in pain for several minutes.

Monteiro with a perspective I hadn’t heard before but feels right:

\n

I am, however, comparing the language we use when discussing AI adoption to the language of rape culture. It’s the language of coercion. Language that implies a lack of choice and reminds you of the power those who are using it have over you. A lack of agency. It’s language that does not rely on consent, but instead the idea that we are bereft of choices, so we might as well get with the program.

When our kids were small, I used to tell my wife that our job was to give them the tools they needed to grow up and figure out how to live their life. This Mike Monteiro piece reminded me of that:

The other day in a meeting, a teammate kept talking about sprinkles, and I thought it must be a new code word for something. So as I never shy away from a dumb question, I asked what sprinkles are. At first she was like, “I didn’t say sprinkles”. But then as she pronounced it she realized, “oh, sprint goals!”

These words by Matheus Lima are about career growth, but apply to many other areas in life, including personal relationships:

\n
\n

People confuse wanting something with working toward it. Like the thought itself is progress. But a desire you keep to yourself has no surface area. Nobody can react to it, build on it, or help you with it. It just sits there, not happening.

\n

When people know what you want, they can help you get it (so obvious, and yet…).
