I really appreciate this but I dream and live for a day where we don't have to embed advertising into our work for survival anymore.

My father was a marketing executive and I wish every day I could have known him to pick his mind about the world today. Especially since he ended up as character material for the show The Newsroom

I actually feel that the brand integration in this post was tasteful, authentic and relevant. Thrive Market has a greater chance of acquiring me as a new customer through creator partnerships like this article, rather than anything else.

This post is about anchors in her life that keep her grounded and energy levels prioritized. It’d be hard to have a complete picture of these anchors without mentioning nutritious foods and snacks.

As a marketing professional, I think this was solid advertising and a win-win for creator and brand.

Just my opinion though.

Branding is incest. My father worked for and against the Kochs with my mum in the 70s and 80s and I have been studying since I was 6 years old and kept away from nepotism as best I could even tho it may have helped me. Nepotism is incest. Western business is inherently incest especially financial incest. Monarchies especially Eurasian ones produced so much incest when the cron magnon and the neanderthals met thru history

I don't want brands for a system

Love this list. I try to pick my kids’ clothes at night to avoid the morning struggle of finding matching socks. I often tell myself I should pick my own outfit too, but I rarely have the mental energy when the day is finally over. I’ve started putting limits in my phone. After 11pm most apps get blocked. I’m trying to reach for real books instead.

I am a happy person with a biophilic mindset, I am on the internet 4 hours a month, I don't call anyone, I don't receive emails, I am a Buddhist, I meditate on emptiness every day, I communicate face to face and with nature.

I dream of a world where incest isn't running every person ragged like a slave. Incest especially financial and spiritual incest allow for physical incest to create abuse economies as we have today thru capitalism, fascism, and totalitarianism and we have the abilities to cease these behaviors with in us by staying self aware and self accountable. Neurotypicals are a result of incest. I will illustrate this in an autobiographical thesis technology permitting

AI won't stop me lol

Love this outfit formula idea! I’ve literally been thinking lately how Steve Jobs was lucky that nobody cared how he dressed exactly the same every day, lol!

I sometimes feel that my life has to be chaotic in some aspects because, if not, I would go completely crazy. I currently have a very demanding job with loads of deadlines and I can't have the same attitude at home.
