Queer Sci Fi · Jeff Baker, Boogieman In Lavender: “All That We Can Do.” January 11, 2025All That We Can Do by Jeff Baker There’s a meme floating around the web; a quote to the effect that you should thank the part of you that helped you get through this year before you start listing the improvements you’re going to make this year. That got me thinking. I post a monthly...

Daily Inspiration: "Opinions are like stomach gas. Sometimes you need to keep it to yourself!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Way back in January 2022, as some series of ongoing madness unfolded around the pandemic, I wrote my "Social Media Serenity Prayer" - "Grant me the maturity to understand the things I should not post, the insight to share the things I should, and the wisdom to quickly know the difference!"

A lot is going on in the world right now, and this might be a good time to once again share this wise counsel. After all, what's the upside in rushing into things, at least in the short term? Volatility will rage for some time, uncertainty will rule, and megaphones will blare.

That's why I wrote this at the time:

"I try to work hard to keep my opinions to myself. As a futurist, I'm on the side of facts, in a world in which for many people, facts don't matter - agendas do."

Borrowing from what I said then, and given what I do (I have a social media presence - Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and Instagram) I share insights on trends, innovation, creativity, and things that capture my mind. But at every moment that I consume media, I often feel obliged to post to it. I also know that it's not a good idea to do that if you find yourself bubbling with rage, consumed with incredulity, or struggling with disbelief at what you see. Like many, I often want to lash out, respond, and try to set things straight.

And often, to my credit, I don't.

I've come to the point that I am still learning not to engage, debate, negotiate, or get into a squabble with many of the views that now permeate our online world.

It's a challenging world. Sometimes, we should keep our opinions to ourselves.

Just like stomach gas.

Daily Inspiration: "Somehow, one way or the other, you will need to be ready to move on from this day!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Hey, is there anything going on anywhere today?

Obsessed with the news? Hitting the refresh button? Reading polls?

Remember how I said that uncertainty and volatility cause many people to defer the making of decisions? It turns out I'm not the only one.

Yesterday, an article from Korn Ferry crossed my desk and got right into the specifics of what I keep talking about.

The headline?

The Leadership Election ‘Excuse’ - US election uncertainty has been the reason many leaders have punted on big decisions. What happens after this week’s voting?

Look, one way or the other, there will be some certainty at some moment in time in the days to come with this uncertainty. You and I might be happy, or we might be crushed. I might be happy and you might be crushed. Or you might be happy and I might be desolate.

We don't know where we're going to be.

But somehow, some way, in some fashion, we'll have to pick up our pieces and move on.

Somehow, we'll get beyond today and tomorrow in due course.

Whatever happens, we need to move beyond this day.

In my case, regardless of what happens, I'll be moving myself forward, not back.

However, the endless influx of notifications and social media updates can easily pull us away from what matters. Many people are battling to maintain concentration, often overwhelmed or sidetracked by competing demands on their time and energy.
