  • I worked at probably the best luthiery in North America. Got let go because I couldn’t keep up. I have tremors which makes fine dextrous work very difficult. At the time I was also going through a brutal break-up too.

    Really bad time for me. Also working at this place was like playing a couple good games of beer league hockey and immediately getting drafted into an NHL team. I feel like if I took another shot at it, it would go much better second time around. But it just wasn’t meant to be at the time. No matter what, it was always going to be a massive uphill climb, but I was super dedicated to doing it and doing it well. It’s unfortunate it came to such an abrupt end, but I understand why it had to happen.

    I’ve experienced that criticism. To that I say I already know where I stand on these political issues and I’ll amplify (and have amplified) voices I want amplified. Regardless of how much I filter out, the dust on the upper crust of world news still makes its way to me in some way or another so I’ll always have a general idea of what’s going on. I just don’t need to know every tiny detail about the trillionth example of the dregs of human nature.

    Living out from under that black cloud is truly liberating and I highly recommend anyone reading this to establish a filter list and block any communities that regularly kill your mood.

    I purged world news from my feeds years ago. I have no idea what’s going and I love it.

    Here’s my filter list if you want it:

    israel, iran, cybertruck, north korea, tesla, israeli, russia, belarus, palestine, palestinian, trump, biden, rogan, ukraine, china, politics, democrat, republican, america, usa, government, law, war, conflict, weapon, vance, biden, harris, election, kamala, dnc, rnc, conflict, tensions, elon, musk, greene, boebert, soldier, military, bomb, attack, conflict

    There’s really not much that slips by this list in tandem with my community block list. Life on the internet is much more peaceful now.
