This might come out a little bit late because my wrist is KILLING me but it's time for new garden update!!
I am, in fact, looking for advice for Spider Plant, African Violet, and random thing attached to my plants. This is a long post but if you are knowledgeable in any of those and would be willing to skip down to the section about those problems I would super appreciate it <3
First of all the spider plant is STILL flowering and making many new babies. I'm thinking about starting a plant section of my art business (which is usually inactive but I've been thinking of booting up again) so this is great news.
The two babies I propogated recently are doing well, for the most part. I didn't propogate them at the same time, so they are at different stages of progress. The first one went into a head-shaped pot with pebbles at the bottom for extra drainage and has found its home at the foot of my bed so that I can feel like I have some form of life in here besides Rookie sneaking in to take naps on my pillow or in my clean laundry when I'm not looking. The bedroom baby seems to have taken root, actually, judging by the fact that just now I pulled gently at it from the base and it didn't budge an inch from the soil, whereas when I first potted it it was looser than a 1900s social pariah (feminine). The leaves are also seeming to stand up straighter.
The second one however is just in a plastic container with no special drainage. The only reason I propogated it at all is because I was sitting watching My Hero Academia with my roommate and one of our friends when I looked Slightly to the right and had The Urge to Repot. I tried so hard to resist, I really did. I fought The Urge for at least 30 mins before finally, in the middle of an episode, i just stood up, went out on the balcony at 10.30 at night and propogated it without warning.
I'm pretty sure the only words I offered as explanation in the moment were "The plant was calling." I looked like a madman shoveling dirt into a cup in the middle of the night when previously I had shown zero indication that I would be leaving the couch until bedtime.
It's doing alright, the soil seems overly wet but that is probably because the plant is new enough that it hasn't yet developed the roots to drink up. I just need to give it time while I find a proper pot for it. I think I have one in my bedroom actually, I just need to paint it.
On the OTHER hand, the main spider plant is also turning brown at the ends which is kind of concerning. I don't know if it's the stem from the baby I just took off, drawing nutrients away (see blurry photo of long stem turning brown and dying) or if it's some kind of consequence of me accidentally overwatering her last week because I thought a water stake was a good idea (I'm never using water stakes again). If anyone has any insight on that, i would be thrilled to hear it. It's indoors so unless some nasty bug has gotten in, it's unlikely to be bug eating it.
One thing that I DO know bugs are eating is my BASIL!!!!!! I don't know if you guys are familiar with spotted lanternflies, but they're super invasive here in the US and in my state are actually considered "Under Quarantine" which means that affected counties/cities are kept track of and, if you live in one, you need a permit & training course on finding and eliminating spotted lanternflies before you can sell any kind of organic matter outside of the quarantine area. They eat grapevines like mad which is threatening to VA's economy (they're all big wine people)
Their main source of food is Tree of Heaven, which coincidentally is ALSO an invasive species from Asia. Including kudzu, bamboo and asian pear trees this is 4 plants and 1 HORRIBLE little bug that are wreaking havoc on Virginia's ecosystem because of being DELIBERATELY!!! introduced as an ornamental (Decorative!) plant. (bug hitched a ride) Unbelievable.
Anyway they also like to eat basil and I have my basil outside so that it can get a sufficient amount of sun to keep from wilting all the time, so guess what I find every time I go outside! This little PECKERHEAD (or his brothers) just hanging out on my basil sitting perfectly still just like I'm his dad and I just walked into the room and he's trying to pretend he wasn't just on his phone. Anyway today I went to get some leaves for cooking and like half of them were just absolutely emacerated with brown/black spots and holes because the lanternfly nymphs have been nibbling on them. Varmints.
Spotted lanternflies are vulnerable to neem oil (So are brown marmorated stinkbugs btw), tea tree oil, and peppermint oil. I mean to purchase whichever one is harmless to my other plants to spray the lanternflies with to kill them. They're also wildly attracted to milkweed, but it's actually toxic to them, so management strategies for spotted lanternflies often suggest planting milkweed on your property so that they will drink the sap and then die.
I intend to, once I am not struggling to pay bills, purchase a native milkweed plant and stick it allll the way on the end of the balcony AWAY from my other plants in order to draw the lanternflies away and hopefully kill them.
I'm not looking forward to cleaning up the bodies. In fact, a couple minutes before taking the above photo I actually leaned over to take a pic of another one and got a dead one in my hair. I was mortified when I sat up and realized. I'm really, really, really going to hate it when they start reaching maturity, because mature spotted lanternflies are HUGE. They're like 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and fat-looking. I saw one smeared on the pavement last fall and wanted to throw up. I don't know if I have the strength to kill them myself, which is why I'm hoping neem oil spray and milkweed will kill them for me without having to deal with smashed moth remains,
Here are the life stages of spotted lanternfly, map of their invaded areas, and pictures of the Tree of Heaven for your information to kill/manage them <3
PEsTS aside, I have really good news! My wildflowers have all sprouted!!!!!!
Looking back, I wish I'd verified whether they were native or not. I hope I don't poison the landscape when they go to seed. Once they start flowering, I'll try to identify any invasive or harmful species and weed them out, I suppose.
They first started showing green on a day when i was feeling especially depressed about my recent breakup, so it was HUGE mood boost. It honestly felt like God was like "Yeah ya'll it's time to go green. Right now go go go go go!!"
Don't mind the plant water stakes, they're empty I just don't have a great place to put them right now. I intend to keep them only so I can use them when I go out of town for a few days at a time, so that I don't need to ask my roommates to water my basil daily, or whatever. The first two pictures I took when I first noticed the seedlings, and the third one is from today, along with most of the other photos.
One thing that I am concerned about is that I'm noticing these little banana-shaped things (pods? eggs? seeds?) that look like they've been clamped/clipped onto the leaves of many of the wildflower seedlings, especially the ones on the left end of the planter. They almost look like hairclips that have been shut onto the leaves? I'm really confused. They're pretty dry looking, and my friend James broke one apart and it just kinda disintegrated. (I was too wigged out to touch it) They can't have been there very long, a couple days before I noticed at least.
If anyone has ANY idea what these are, I'd really appreciate it. I'm worried that they're bug eggs. I really hate interacting with/looking at bugs, especially bug eggs, so I tried looking it up myself and had to stop because uhh... pictures of bug eggs. But they definitely don't look like part of the plant, especially since this planter is a mixture of different species and they're showing up on multiple types.
The beeblossom, which I've learned is also called a Whirling Butterflies or a Wand Flower much more commonly than it's called a beeblossom, is doing quite well! The leaves and stems have shifted completely from red to green, and it's showing signs that it might possibly flower for a second time. I really hope it does, the flowers last time only lasted a couple days and I don't remember if I got any good pictures but they were really pretty. I've repotted it into a neat woven-basket pot that I got at the local garden center (This garden center has a cat mascot! That lives at the store! I love him. He let me pet him.)
The lavender also went into a similar pot, to get it out of the rice pot that it was in before. Also at this garden center I found a catnip plant!!!! Rookie has been loving it whenever I give him a leaf, but surprisingly I don't think he's figured out the source plant because he doesn't go up to it and sniff it at all. I think he's more interested by the finches, cardinals, and robins that have (finally) found our birdfeeder. To give you an idea of how much the birds have been vibing, this feeder was full to the top only a week ago.
The Echinopsis babies are doing OK. Echinopsis generally do a terrible job of communicating how they are doing. They don't seem to be especially active in growing? Neither the babies nor the parent. I suspect know I repotted the parent into too-small of a pot, so I hope to remedy that at the next opportunity. Just.... large pots take up so much space!!! And they're much more expensive than small pots, especially since I'm so averse to plastic containers due to issues with overwatering plants in plastic containers.
The Echinopsis babies haven't been drinking as much as I'd like, but they HAVE been drinking, which is a sign that the roots are functioning just fine. They were each able to take a root or two from the parent when I propogated them about a month ago, so it's good to know that they're doing alright down under the soil. I'm thinking about selling each of them for $35, with the hand-painted pot, but I hate to part with them. I get so emotionally attached.
The Thyme, on the other hand, has shown ZERO signs of growth and it's been 12 days. I know they have a long germination time but between their complete silence and the fact that I planted them in the wrong soil (I should have used sandy loam but it's just Miracle Gro) and the soil has been wetter than a jellyfish since I planted, AND they're just from a dollar tree Herb Rocket, I'm starting to become suspicious that they're duds. I'll keep watering and watching them until after I hit the 28 days, but I'm definitely not feeling great about the thyme.
The herb rocket was supposed to be planted as just one roll, also, but because I was using a long container I took some scissors and just cut the rolled up seed tape in half lengthwise before rerolling and planting. The directions were also ambiguous as to whether I was supposed to leave the top of the rolls visible, level with the soil, or to cover them up with the 1/4 inch soil that I've begun to notice is typical of planting instructions.
The left roll you can see is a little bit messed up, because the other day in a fit of disappointment I pulled it out of the dirt and unrolled it to check for anything, ANYTHING, ANY!!! SIGNS OF GROWTH! I found nothing. But that, not before, is the point when I googled the germination time of thyme, then I felt like an idiot and did my best to stuff it back into the soaking wet soil.
God help me with this plant.
My roommate pulled out a little mushroom decoration (she loves mushrooms) for the garden, initially intended to go in the wildflower planter. It was there for about an hour before I took it out, because I didn't want it to kill any of the wildflower growth. Instead I put it between the two thyme rockets. Hopefully, when (if?) the thyme actually starts growing, it will look like there's a little mushroom home nestled between the two shrubs.
Another plant whose performance I am currently dissatisfied with is the African Violet. It's wilting again. At this point it's like, "What am I doing wrong now?" What makes it even worse is that this is the only plant that was given to me as like a, "nurture this plant as a metaphor for nurturing your spirit!" so it's even more depressing that I'm having difficulty keeping it alive. I feel like this plant's survival is tied to my success as a human being (Not really, but that's the vibe).
The leaves are just totally limp. Not really mushy, but I could see them getting that way if it weren't for the fact that they usually just dry up and wither away first. The soil is very wet, which I don't understand because I've been doing my best not to overwater it and it's been a week since it's last douse. The leaves have lost their yellow tinge from overwatering, but only on the topside. The bottomside of the leaves still look brownish, as if they're dried up (except that they arent) If there are any African Violet experts in the crowd, I would LOVE for you to lend me any advice you can give me from the picture <3 I love you.
I've been pruning off dead sections and kept it indoors with a stable temperature in a spot where it gets plenty of indirect light, so I don't understand what the issue is. I'm beginning to blame plastic containers for all of my problems due to all of my Problem Plants being in plastic. (Spider Plant momma, new baby Spider Plant, African Violet, Thyme, Basil in the early months, Beeblossom, probably the catnip soon too).
I desperately want to move all my plastic planted plants to ceramic/terracotta or woven containers, but the issue is just that plastic is the cheapest material for planters, and since I've been upsizing, I genuinely do not have the budget for terracotta right now. Maybe in 2 months, but by then the Basil & Echinopsis will already have had their growth stifled, the Thyme will be drowned, and the African Violet will be well and truly dead.
I wasn't able to get any good pictures of the snake plants in this lighting, but they are doing alright also. Their roots haven't quite put down in the new soil, but I think they're kind of growing anyways??? I dunno.
Finally, here is a photo of the Potted Plant Empire as it is today, excepting the indoor plants and the wildflower planter being cut off:
That little pot at the end is my roommate's rosemary, and the orange glass pot is her lavender. Mine is in the woven basket next to it.
I feel like that guy in the recent Drive Time app advertisement. "I FEEL STRONGG!!!"

If you ask your crazy uncle, the government is always buying stuff it doesn't need, for way too much money. I don't know about that – the last time I got a paycheque for prison labour, it was real affordable – but I do know that the place to go for gettin' cool stuff is the government surplus auctions.
Think about running a government. You gotta have a lot of stuff. Like, ten or fifteen Jeeps. Probably three hundred thousand coffee makers. A gajillion pens. One of those TVs that shows what number you are in line when you're waiting for your passport. When the government is tired of having all this shit around, they plunk it on Bad-Looking eBay, and then degenerate hustlers buy it in the hope of getting a good deal.
Last week, I regret to inform you, the government made a huge mistake. They let me have a fire truck. Sure, it's not like a "real" fire truck – the military used it up north, so the colours are all wrong, and the siren is bilingual – but it still puts out fires. Which is a huge upgrade from before. Previously, my fire-safety protocol in case one of the half-century-old shitboxes filled with rancid gasoline in my yard finally went kablooey was "move away."
Importantly, it turns out that nobody wanted to buy this worn-out old fire truck. It just sat there, unloved, in a surplus auction in deepest darkest northern Quebec. I wasn't going to bid, and then I thought about how lonely it must be. Its firefighter buddies had ditched it for a younger, sexier model. None of the municipalities wanted an old fire truck, out of fear that it might be unreliable, or expensive to fix. Only new stuff for them. It's safer, they no doubt said. How could I stay my hand from bidding eighteen dollars?
The good news is, even though I ran up a significant gas bill driving it home, I have already made a lot of that money back from charging people to extinguish their houses. Turns out when their place is on fire, they'll pay just about anything, and not really check the credentials of the asshole who drives by to spray it down. Best part is that I don't have to pay for any of the water I take out of the hydrants, so I've been hydrating really well, too. My pee has never been clearer.
So the next time your weird uncle(lette) says that it's time to stop letting the government buy so much shit it doesn't need, set their house on fire. Once they're done negotiating with me, they won't be such big fans of private enterprise, either.

I played a few more of Nemlei's (Developer of The Coffin of Andy & Leyley) games to sort of get a feel for their design philosophy a bit (typical Ash behavior, everything's a production history). I played No-Good Noelle & Candy Scabs, and poked around Better Half.
Andy & Leyley is their most ambitious project by a country mile, and a good deal more advanced conceptually. It is also their first RPG Maker game, the rest being pure Ren'py VN projects. This was a very smart choice on their part - they love gore & horror style elements, but in a simple VN those elements are going to be carried, in the main, by dialogue, with the occasional splash art. Its hard for that not to overstay its welcome, or come off as a bit too edgy? You can make it work with real design flexes (Doki Doki Literature Club being a classic example) but that is very high skill (DDLC is famously impressive on the coding side). Meanwhile Andy & Leyley gets miles out of the fact that you-as-player physically do all of the actions, and engage with 'bonus' dialogue from the environment as much as you want. You are extending that welcome via choices you make.
Andy & Leyley also seems like their first project to take place in "our world", even if it's a crapsack alt skin version of it. It is another smart choice, as - typical to the relationship-focused VN genre - Nemlei cares about characters first, and that is where all the time goes in these games. Which means the fantasy settings of say No-Good Noelle are inherently shallow; they don't want to spend time developing it all that much. In A&L all that is presumed *except* the relevant differences, which are way easier to drip-feed. The longer length & RPG elements help with that too ofc. And I think it works a little bit better with the toxic dynamics they are so enamored with; a toxic snow fairy/imp dynamic is like, yeah, they are magic creatures, guess they can do that. Fun, but that isn't going to hit the way a Covid-Quarantine metaphor driving you over the edge is going to.
Of course the art has also evolved and all that too; they started making full games in 2019 it seems, had choppy "generic western cute-horror-anime" aesthetics for a few there, couldn't get "adult" character designs to work for Better Hal & Divelethion, but finally broke the barrier on Andy & Leyley, and committed to a more cohesive style with its own identity to boot.
Btw they have very impressive output for a solo artist who is virtually never charging for these products and doing like no social media promotion. They love the grind for stories, I see who they are in every work and respect them immensely for that.

Omniston on STONfi DEX: A Simpler, Smarter Way to Trade Crypto
In the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), there’s always room for new ideas that simplify trading and make it more secure for users. Omniston, built into the STONfi DEX, is one of those ideas that not only makes trading easier but also more trustworthy and cost-efficient. After diving deep into its mechanics, I can confidently say that Omniston could be the turning point for DeFi, and here's why.
What is Omniston
Think of Omniston as a smarter way to exchange crypto. It’s a decentralized liquidity protocol that connects traders directly to market makers, skipping the middlemen (like traditional liquidity providers or centralized services). The system uses what's called a "Request for Quote" (RFQ) mechanism, meaning when you make a trade request, you’re automatically matched with the best price offered by a market maker. It’s like going to an auction where the best bidder wins, and you get to finalize the deal without any extra steps or delays.
Why Does Omniston Matter
The beauty of Omniston lies in its simplicity and security. Here are some of the main reasons why it’s a game-changer for DeFi:
1. No Deposits, No Worries
In traditional trading systems, you often have to deposit your funds into a third-party service to make a trade. With Omniston, you don’t need to deposit anything in advance. The funds only move when the trade is confirmed, making it feel like you’re using a secure escrow service where everything happens directly between you and the buyer or seller.
2. Trustless Trading
One of the biggest concerns with trading is trust—trust that the platform won’t steal your funds, trust that your trade will go through as expected. Omniston eliminates the need for that kind of trust. The system runs entirely on smart contracts, meaning both parties in the trade are protected and there’s no intermediary that could go rogue. It’s like using a self-checkout at the store: you know everything is secure and handled right in front of you, with no one else getting in the way.
3. No Slippage, No Surprises
In the crypto world, slippage (when the price changes between the time you place an order and when it gets filled) is a real headache. With Omniston’s RFQ system, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before confirming your trade. There are no last-minute price hikes or unexpected surprises. This brings much-needed transparency to the table and makes trading feel a lot more reliable.
A Better Way to Trade: Unified Liquidity
One of the biggest challenges in DeFi is the fragmentation of liquidity. On many platforms, liquidity pools are scattered, making it harder to get the best prices. Omniston solves this by consolidating liquidity into a single platform. This means that traders have access to a wider range of projects, and developers can tap into a larger user base, all while avoiding the hassle of jumping between multiple platforms to find the best deal. It’s like finding everything you need at one store instead of driving across town to visit several.
Low-Cost, Fast Transactions
Omniston combines the benefits of on-chain transactions with off-chain orders, resulting in faster, more affordable trades. The days of paying hefty transaction fees and waiting for ages to complete a trade are over. This is like upgrading from waiting in long lines to getting your items delivered to your doorstep quickly.
Why Omniston on STONfi DEX Is Such a Big Deal
Integrating Omniston with STONfi DEX takes things to the next level. The two work seamlessly to create a trading experience that’s faster, cheaper, and more secure than ever before. Here’s how it all fits together:
Security and Transparency: All trades are secured by blockchain and confirmed through smart contracts, making them more transparent and trustworthy.
Unified Liquidity: No more hopping between platforms to find the best prices. Everything you need is available in one place.
Low Fees and Faster Trades: Thanks to the combination of on-chain and off-chain systems, your trades are completed quicker and with lower costs.
For traders, developers, and users alike, this is the kind of system that helps move DeFi forward by solving some of the most persistent problems in the space.
Wrapping It Up
Omniston represents a significant step forward for DeFi, and its integration with STONfi DEX makes it even more impactful. By eliminating middlemen, reducing slippage, and consolidating liquidity, Omniston is paving the way for a more efficient, secure, and transparent trading environment.
If you’ve been looking for a solution that brings more stability and confidence to your DeFi experience, Omniston is something you should definitely keep an eye on. It’s not just a small tweak in the system—it’s a big move toward a better future for decentralized finance.
Have you tried Omniston yet? What are your thoughts on this new development in the DeFi space? Let’s discuss in the comments below!

Digital Burnout: Your Brain is Not a 24/7 Drive-Thru
INTRODUCTION:
Remember when "burnout" meant doing sick donuts in a parking lot? Now it's your brain doing donuts while you stare at your phone from 5PM to 11 PM. Welcome to the digital burnout, the modern equivalent of trying to run a marathon while juggling chainsaws and responding to Facebook messages.
Signs You're Digitally Burnt (Besides Your Smoking Keyboard)
Look, if your eye twitch has its own Instagram following, we need to talk. Here's what digital burnout actually looks like:
Your phone separation anxiety rivals a teenager's fear of missing a TikTok trend
Your thumb has developed abs from endless scrolling
You've memorized every pixel of your LinkedIn homepage
Your coffee maker gets more rest than you do
The Science breakdown (Don't Worry, We'll Keep It Spicier Than Your Ex's Instagram Stories)
Your brain on digital overload is like a hamster who had a Redbull. Chaotic, messy, and heading nowhere fast. Here's the deal:
Your anxiety is partying harder than college freshmen
Your attention span now matches a goldfish with ADHD
Your sleep cycle is more disturbed than a good horror movie
7 Ways to Stop the Digital Dumpster Fire
Digital Boundaries That Don't Suck:
Treat work emails like that clingy ex – set strict visiting hours
Your phone isn't a conjoined twin – surgical separation is allowed
Create a notification system that doesn't feel like a hostage situation
The 90/20 Method (Because Your Brain Isn't Netflix – It Needs Breaks). Work like you're being chased by deadlines for 90 minutes. Take 20-minute breaks where screens are as forbidden as pineapple on pizza
Implementation Plan (Or: How to Actually Do This Stuff Without Having a Existential Crisis)
Week 1: Reality Check
Count your notification pings (if you reach 1000 before lunch, seek help)
Track your screen time like you track your ex's new relationship status
Document when your eye twitch turns into a flutter
Week 2-3: The Intervention
Delete apps like you're cleaning out your Ex’s belongings
Set boundaries firmer than your grandmother's opinions
Create device-free zones (yes, the bathroom counts)
When It All Goes Wrong (Because It Will)
Look, you'll fail. Like that time you promised to start meal prep or learn Spanish on Rosetta Stone. Here's what actually happens:
The Client Emergency
Everyone's definition of "emergency" is different. Your client's 11 PM "URGENT!" email about font choices isn't actually urgent
Solution: Auto-reply and simply let your snark cannon handle it (don’t do that, you still haven’t paid of school loans yet)
The FOMO Spiral
Your brain: "But what if someone posted something IMPORTANT?"
Reality: It's probably just another gym selfie or coffee art
Solution: Remind yourself that social media is just everyone's highlight reel on steroids (top heavy and disgruntled about everything)
Measuring Success (Without Spreadsheets Because We're Not Monsters)
You're winning if:
Your eye twitch downgrades from "possessed" to "mildly concerning"
You can watch an entire movie without checking your phone
Your plants are alive because you actually notice them now
Your pets remember what you look like
The Real Talk Section
Let's be honest – you're probably reading this on your phone while ignoring three other tasks. The irony isn't lost on us. But here's the truth bomb: digital burnout isn't just about screen time. It's about reclaiming your brain from the technological equivalent of a toddler hopped up on pixie sticks.
Your Action Plan (Because We Can't Leave You Hanging Like a Netflix Series)
Right Now:
Put your phone down (after reading this, obviously)
Take a deep breath (oxygen is still free, unlike app subscriptions)
Look at something further than 6 inches from your face
Today:
Pick ONE thing from this guide
Actually do it (revolutionary, we know)
Don't immediately post about doing it
This Week:
Set up auto-replies snarkier than this article (Again, not recommended if you want to keep your job)
Remember what your hobbies were BC (Before Connectivity)
Conclusion:
Your brain deserves better than being a 24/7 digital carnival. Start small, fail forward, and remember: every time you ignore a notification, an IT angel gets its wings.
Final Call to Action:
Download a Digital Detox Tracker. Or don't. We're not your mom.

Michael Welu worked at the IRS for decades as a specialist in helping agents identify and investigate possible tax crimes. In an agency known for offices working in their own silos, Welu had the rare ability to move between divisions, dissecting and learning each office’s particular customs and procedures. But that experience had its own consequence for Welu: Seeing disparities in how the separate divisions treated different tiers of taxpayers left him exasperated and helped drive him into early retirement.
For more than 30 years, Welu watched the agency struggle with budget cuts and dwindling staff. What troubled Welu, he says, went deeper than just resource constraints.
During his time at the IRS, he says, upper management in the division tasked with auditing large corporations and ultrawealthy people — the Large Business and International Division — was quick to dismiss any suggestion that a powerful taxpayer may have committed a crime, and commonly discouraged front-line agents from pursuing big cases. This stood in deep contrast to the office that policed small businesses and self-employed people, which was empowered to — as Welu saw it — take an appropriately firm stance toward taxpayers breaking the law, even if they were dealing with far smaller dollar amounts.
“I was putting butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers in jail, but the big stuff we really wanted to go after was being ignored,” Welu told the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. “It could be the most egregious, ridiculous scheme and they were just not interested.”
. . .
Tax evasion by the ultrarich is a key element in Oxfam International’s recent forecast that the world will soon see its first trillionaire. Experts say the U.S.’s failures to address high-end tax evasion have contributed to worsening global inequality.
“Normal taxpayers are scared of the IRS — they fear real consequences,” one current LB&I agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told ICIJ. “These highly wealthy people, it’s more like a game to them.”
-- Spencer Woodman at The Lever

So, I struggle with chronic fatigue. I also struggle with some kind of ailment that makes it so that I have the creative drive of a thousand suns and if I don't express my creativity I feel like I am wilting away. And sometimes drawing would take too much energy to do... so what do I do? I go to picrew dot me and I try and find a character to make that interests me.
Most of the time, I don't find anything, and I remain unsated. And sometimes, I try out random character maker that I think'll be interesting but I end up abandoning it. And I think the reason for this is because... its exactly as you say, it takes away my own autonomy in making art.
There is a puny amount of fulfillment to be found in making silly characters on picrew, but it is absolutely not able to replace the real deal of actually making something.
I've never tried GenAI, and I never will. Not because I think it looks bad, or uncanny. I am of the belief that there will probably come a day where GenAI can flawlessly and perfectly create things that look good- I'd even venture into saying that the current levels of GenAI can make things that look pretty pleasing to the eye. I am against it, and utterly uninterested in it, because it would rob me of the very thing that makes me an artist, that makes me love being an artist, which is the process of making art. I am against it because it is inherently unethical in its unconsensual scraping of millions of other people's works. I am against GenAI because there is a lack of transparency inherent to AI in general- if a GenAI spits out an image, I cannot ask it to tell me exactly what it was inspired by, which images it took to create this new image, it cannot directly trace back the process it went through to create the image. This is antithetical to the practice of studying art. This lack of transparency also applies to how the GenAI model was trained- who exactly did they employ to train the models? Were they paid and treated ethically? I am against GenAI because it is an environmental parasite with no genuinely new or revolutionary applications in the real world.
Even if art is hard, even if I struggle so much with actually doing it. Even if it feels like I'm suffering the whole way through... I do it because it fulfills me. GenAI can never replace that
As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

The Force Index Meets Ripple/USD: A Hidden Weapon for Mastering Volatility Why the Force Index Is the Secret Weapon You Didn’t Know You Needed If you’ve ever traded Ripple against the US dollar (XRP/USD) and felt like you were navigating a storm with a broken compass, you’re not alone. The crypto market is notorious for its whiplash movements, and Ripple is no exception. Enter the Force Index—an often-overlooked momentum indicator that can help you ride the waves rather than wipe out. What’s more, most traders blindly chase trends without understanding the underlying force driving price movements. That’s like trying to surf without checking the tide. Let’s break down why the Force Index is a game-changer for trading Ripple/USD and how you can use it to pinpoint hidden opportunities. Force Index 101: The Power Behind the Price Before we dive into practical strategies, let’s get familiar with what the Force Index actually does. Developed by Alexander Elder, the Force Index (FI) measures price movement, volume, and direction to determine the true power behind a trend. Unlike standard momentum indicators, FI reveals whether a trend is built on solid ground or is about to collapse like a house of cards. Here’s the formula: Force Index (FI) = (Current Close - Previous Close) * Volume The key components: - Price Change: Shows the strength of buyers vs. sellers. - Volume: Confirms whether the move has actual backing. - Trend Direction: Determines whether bulls or bears are in control. If Ripple’s price is rising on high volume, the Force Index will spike positive, signaling a strong bullish move. If price drops on increasing volume, the index turns negative, confirming bearish pressure. Why Most Traders Misread XRP/USD Trends (And How You Won’t) The Force Index doesn’t just tell you whether the market is going up or down—it tells you how strong that move is. Common trader mistake: Many traders rely only on price action without considering volume. That’s like buying a stock just because your Uber driver mentioned it (never a good idea). With the Force Index, you can avoid this pitfall by confirming whether a trend is real or just an illusion. Secret #1: Identifying Fake Breakouts One of the biggest challenges with Ripple/USD is dealing with false breakouts. Market makers love to trigger stop losses before pushing price in the real direction. The Force Index can help you filter these traps. How to do it: - If Ripple breaks a resistance level but the Force Index is weak or declining, the move is likely a fakeout. - If the breakout is supported by a rising Force Index, the move is likely real and has strong momentum. 📌 Pro Tip: If you see price making a new high but FI stays flat or declines, that’s a divergence—a warning sign that the move lacks strength. How to Use the Force Index Like a Pro for XRP/USD 1. Spotting High-Probability Trade Entries Let’s get tactical. The Force Index works best in combination with trendlines and moving averages. Here’s a simple yet powerful approach: - Use the 21-day EMA to define trend direction. - When the Force Index crosses above zero, it confirms bullish strength—time to look for longs. - When the Force Index drops below zero, it signals increasing bearish pressure—look for short opportunities. ✅ Example Trade: - Ripple is trending above the 21-day EMA. - The Force Index spikes above zero with strong volume. - Enter a long position with a stop-loss below recent swing lows. 🚀 Why It Works: You’re only trading when momentum aligns with trend direction, filtering out weak setups. Advanced Strategy: Using Force Index Divergence for Precision Timing 2. Catching Reversals Before Everyone Else Most traders react after a reversal happens. But what if you could anticipate it before it occurs? 💡 Divergence is your secret weapon. - Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but the Force Index makes a higher low. This indicates sellers are running out of steam—buy signal. - Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but the Force Index makes a lower high. This suggests buyers are weakening—sell signal. Example: - Ripple spikes to $1.20, but the Force Index fails to make a new high. - Smart money is likely exiting, so you prepare to short. 🔎 Hidden Gem: This strategy works even better when combined with support/resistance levels. If a divergence forms near a key price level, it’s high-probability reversal zone. How to Supercharge Your Trading with Force Index + Smart Tools You now have an advanced weapon for trading XRP/USD, but let’s take it a step further. Why not automate and optimize your trades with next-gen tools? Here’s how StarseedFX can help: - Real-Time Forex News & Indicators – Stay ahead with exclusive updates on market-moving events.

Final Thoughts: The Force Awakens (Your Trading Edge) If you’re still ignoring the Force Index, you’re leaving serious money on the table. Whether you’re trading Ripple or any other asset, this underrated indicator gives you a real edge in filtering fake breakouts, identifying high-probability setups, and catching reversals before the herd. Now, it’s time to take action. Test the strategies, tweak them to your style, and start making smarter trades.

Automotive 3PL Market: Outlook, Opportunities Amid Global Supply Chain Challenges - UnivDatos
According to a new report by UnivDatos Market Insights, the Automotive 3PL Market is expected to reach USD 494.75 billion in 2032 by growing at a CAGR of 8.38%. Outsourcing of logistics and supply chain management activities is on the rise in the automotive industry as manufacturers and suppliers look for ways to cut costs and improve the efficiency and flexibility of the automotive supply chain. Third-party logistics providers have seen increased business from automotive makers and suppliers of auto components because the latter are outsourcing their warehousing, transportation, customs brokerage, and distribution activities, thus enabling them to concentrate on value-added activities such as designing, developing, and producing automobiles.

KEY GROWTH DRIVERS:
The Automotive 3PL market is on the rise for several reasons such as the increased supply chain operations’ complications, inventory tracking requirements that are becoming more and more real-time, and the ever-increasing pressure toward cost reduction. This latest trend has therefore seen manufacturers outsourcing their complex supply chain systems involving suppliers of automotive parts, assembly plants, and distribution networks from 3PL services. Furthermore, the emergence of EVs and self-driving vehicles as new logistics models also presents added complexity that only a few third-party logistics know-how and technology address. To this, supply chain management companies are beginning to adopt automation systems, IoT devices, and AI solutions for demand forecasting for precise delivery of supplies, shortening of delivery times, and prevention of possible mistakes. They are important in meeting just-in-time delivery systems which are important for the automobile industry to keep its inventory expenses low while orders continue to be processed.
Latest Developments
· In October 2024, CEVA Logistics acquired a joint venture company from Bolloré Logistics and Horoz Logistics named Horoz Bolloré Logistics founded back in 2000. The full acquisition of Horoz Bolloré Logistics as CEVA has the potential to further strengthen the range of services we provide in Turkey that will help enhance our international logistics product portfolio.
· In October 2024, CEVA Logistics, a global third-party logistics company, and Almajdouie Logistics, one of the most prominent end-to-end logistics solution providers in the Middle East region agreed to form a joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
· In July 2024, The DHL Supply Chain penetrated the United States retail out zone with new additional stock in Troy Michigan. The new facility also provides touch-screen kiosks for staff-assisted and automated self-service besides other services and DHL branded products such as Bubble packing material, packing tapes, and branded moving boxes among others that will make and create the right customer retail sensation.
· In December 2023, CEVA Logistics of the CMA group closed the acquisition of GEFCO. As a part of this adjustment and in line with its deal with GEFCO, CEVA Logistics has said that it creates a specific finished vehicle logistics organization.
Transport Segment Gaining Maximum Traction in the Market
The transportation segment is expected to experience significant growth in the forecast period owing to core functionality, as it moves raw materials, goods, auto components, and finished products from one place to another. This is happening due to increased globalization, as it allows components to be manufactured components in one part of the world and sold to another part of the world. This requires a smooth and efficient transportation system and hence, the services for the automotive 3PL increase. Moreover, the automobile and transportation industry are booming due to the emergence of electric vehicles. Major countries around the world are accepting these new energy vehicles and providing subsidies for greater adoption, which has boosted the demand for automotive 3 PL services. Developing countries such as India, and Indonesia may have manufacturing units for these vehicles, but mainly they are importing from other nations. For instance, in 2023, according to the report by Volza, India imported 12,967 shipments of electric vehicles from Mar 2023 to Feb 2024 (TTM). Companies operating in the market are expanding their logistic services to fulfill the market demand. For instance, in April 2024, Kuehne+Nagel expanded its spare parts logistics for BMW. The company is one of the leading logistic providers and now manages a 170,000m² spare parts fulfillment and delivery centre in Wallersdorf, Germany.

Conclusion
The automotive 3PL market is on pace for steady growth around the globe due to the adoption of new technologies and emphasis on efficiency in supply chains typical of the automotive sector. Emerging trends such as increased demand for electric cars, increasing trends of e-commerce in auto parts, and the adoption of sustainable solutions are new opportunities for 3PL providers. Based on the current developments, it is evident that the establishment of strategic partnerships, and investment in sound technologies will be the key force in sustaining growth in this fast-growing market.

Almost correct meme.
The meme likely gained renewed attention in 2022 because fuel prices surged, prompting acute interest among consumers in purchasing electric vehicles. These posts, and others like them, contained some factual information and some inaccurate information. But the main idea is true — shortly after World War II, Japanese auto manufacturers did develop and sell an electric vehicle, long before modern versions became popular in the 2010s.
The vehicle in the image above was developed by a Japanese company called Tokyo Electro Automobile Co., which would later become Prince Motors, Ltd. Prince Motors would go on to merge with auto maker Nissan in 1966.
According to Nissan, the vehicle was rolled out in 1947 (not 1949), two years after Japan surrendered in World War II. During that time, per Nissan's website, "Japan was suffering from an acute shortage of oil, goods and food while the supply of electricity had a surplus since there were almost no home appliances or bulk users of electricity."
The vehicle "achieved the driving range of 96km (nearly 60 miles) [as opposed to 200km, as stated in the meme above] and the maximum speed of 35km/h (nearly 22 mph)," and made a good taxi until 1951.
Because of the post-war oil shortage, Japanese start-ups churned out electric vehicles. The vehicle in the image above was dubbed TAMA and was restored to its original working condition in 2010 when Nissan launched its modern electric vehicle, LEAF. You can see the restored 1947 vehicle in action in a promotional video created by Nissan:
youtube
Year being off is not a big deal, having slightly less than half the range however is troublesome, and it went a mindbending 35 kmph which might work for NYC taxis but not out in the real world, no report on how long it took to charge or how many charge cycles before the battery needed replacing.
I'm remembering a episode of Dennis the Menace where Mr Wilson wound up with a electric and a gas vehicle which was a win win since one should always have a full tank.
Nothing nefarious in their demise in the US either, they suffered from many of the same issues the current ones do, poor range, lack of charging locations, length of time to charge, and you tack on the highway system going in and people looking to travel for leisure those 3 things kinda spelled the end for them in the US.
That and oil was way cheap, so from a economic standpoint there was just no need for little short range cars that moved really slow.
Again other than as a taxi in a large city, which honestly would have been nice but didn't happen.

How to Use Content Engagement to Boost Your B2B Marketing Strategy
These days, “content engagement” isn’t just a trendy phrase; it’s necessary for a successful B2B marketing plan. With countless businesses competing for attention in the noisy digital space, creating engaging content isn’t optional—it’s essential. It helps build trust, drives lead generation, and turns curious prospects into long-term clients.
For More Information: https://sales-demand.com/how-to-use-content-engagement-to-boost-your-b2b-marketing-strategy/
In this blog, we’ll explain content engagement, why it matters so much for B2B businesses, and how you can boost it with smart strategies. Whether you’re a business owner, a marketer, or a decision-maker, mastering content engagement is a game-changer. Let’s get started!
What Is Content Engagement?
At its core, content engagement is all about how your audience interacts with what you create. It’s not just about clicks or page views (though those matter). Real engagement is about deeper interactions that show people find value in your content. For businesses, this might look like:
Comments and Shares: The direct engagement where users share their opinions or share the content with their network.
Time on Page: How long users spend engaging with the content, which signals whether the content is resonating with them.
Form Submissions: Whether users take action by filling out forms, subscribing to newsletters, or requesting demos.
Downloads and Views: Especially for resources like white papers, case studies, and eBooks, the number of downloads or views indicates how relevant and useful your content is.
Clicks on Calls to Action: When your audience clicks on links or buttons leading to further action, such as exploring services, booking consultations, or completing purchases.
In short, content engagement is all about building connections—ones that move your audience closer to becoming loyal customers. A solid content marketing strategy helps ensure that the connections you make are meaningful and scalable.
Why Does Content Engagement Matter for B2B?
Wondering why engagement should top your to-do list? Here are five reasons it’s a big deal for B2B businesses:
1# It Builds Trust and Authority
When people consistently find your content useful, they start seeing you as an expert. And in B2B, where decisions involve multiple stakeholders and big investments, trust is everything. Engaged audiences are more likely to believe in your solutions.
2# It Drives Lead Generation
The more people interact with your content, the more likely they are to take the next step—whether that’s downloading a guide, subscribing to your updates, or reaching out to your team. More engagement = more leads.
3# It Boosts SEO
Search engines like Google reward engaging content. If your blog keeps visitors on the page longer or racks up shares, it’s likely to rank higher. Better rankings mean more traffic—and more traffic means more chances to engage.

4# It Expands Brand Awareness
When your audience shares or interacts with your content, it reaches new eyes. This ripple effect can introduce your business to fresh prospects and help you build a stronger community around your brand.
5# It Offers Insightful Feedback
Engagement metrics are like little breadcrumbs, showing you what’s working and what’s not. Comments, shares, and clicks all tell a story about what your audience values. Use that data to fine-tune your strategy and deliver more of what they love. Your content marketing analytics can further support these insights, offering granular details on audience preferences.
How Do You Measure Content Engagement?
To improve engagement, you first need to measure it. Here are the key metrics to keep an eye on:
1# Page Views
Page views indicate how many people have visited your content. While page views alone do not provide a complete picture of engagement, they serve as an entry point into understanding content performance. The context of how users interact with the page, such as time spent and bounce rate, is what matters more.
2# Time on Page
The longer users stay on your content, the better. Time on page is a great indicator of engagement because it shows that the user is actively consuming your content rather than skimming through it. High engagement often correlates with high-quality content that meets the audience’s needs.
3# Bounce Rate
A bounce rate measures the percentage of visitors who leave a website after viewing only one page. A high bounce rate can indicate that your content isn’t engaging enough to encourage further interaction or exploration. A low bounce rate, on the other hand, suggests that users find your content valuable and are motivated to continue interacting with your site.
4# Social Shares
When your audience shares your content, it’s a powerful signal of engagement. Social shares extend the reach of your content beyond your immediate audience, helping you attract new followers and potential leads. Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook are especially valuable for B2B content distribution.
5# Comments and Interactions
User comments are a strong indicator of engagement. When users comment on your blog posts, videos, or social media updates, it means they’re not just passively consuming content—they’re contributing to the conversation. This interaction helps you foster a sense of community and establish relationships with your audience.
6# Conversion Rates
The goal of content engagement is to drive conversions. Whether that’s signing up for a newsletter, downloading a resource, or purchasing a product or service, conversions are the true measure of content effectiveness. Tracking conversions helps you understand which content pieces are most effective at moving users down the funnel.

Strategies to Boost Content Engagement
Now that you know why engagement matters and how to measure it, here are actionable ways to boost it:
1# Focus on High-Quality Content
Quality is king. If your content doesn’t solve problems or offer real value, no one will stick around. Create content that addresses your audience’s biggest pain points, uses expert insights, and stays concise yet informative. Don’t forget to refresh older content to keep it relevant.
2# Try Interactive Content
Quizzes, polls, and calculators are like magnets for engagement. Not only do they keep users on your site longer, but they also create personalized experiences that your audience will appreciate.
Pro Tip: Add a fun ROI calculator or industry-specific quiz to your blog or landing page.
3# Make It Mobile-Friendly
A clunky mobile experience can scare away potential customers. Use responsive design and ensure your content is easy to read and navigate on smaller screens.
Pro Tip: Test your site’s layout on various devices to spot any usability issues.
4# Repurpose Content for Multiple Platforms
Don’t let great content live in one place. Turn blogs into podcasts, infographics, or videos, and share them across LinkedIn, email, or webinars to reach more people.
Pro Tip: Got a blog post that’s performing well? Turn it into a short video or carousel for social media.
5# Encourage User-Generated Content
UGC adds authenticity. When customers or followers share their own experiences with your brand, it builds trust and inspires others to join the conversation.
Pro Tip: Launch a hashtag campaign and incentivize users to share their stories with your product.
6# Use Analytics to Fine-Tune Your Strategy
Pay attention to what the numbers tell you. Are certain topics consistently outperforming others? Focus more on those areas. Analytics tools like Google Analytics or social media insights are your best friends here.
Pro Tip: Schedule monthly check-ins to analyze which content gets the most love and adapt accordingly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Content Engagement
While focusing on content engagement is essential, there are a few common mistakes B2B marketers should avoid:
Ignoring the Audience’s Needs: Creating content for the sake of creating it without understanding the audience’s challenges and preferences can result in poor engagement.
Overwhelming the Audience: Too much content can overwhelm users. Focus on creating high-quality content that addresses specific needs, rather than bombarding users with irrelevant or excessive material.
Lack of Clear CTAs: Without clear calls to action, your audience may not know what steps to take next. Be sure to include actionable CTAs that guide users toward conversions.
Not Responding to Engagement: Engagement is a two-way street. Ignoring comments and messages can make your audience feel disconnected. Be sure to respond to inquiries and foster discussions.
