Im looking for swimming goggles with per-eye correction lenses. Does anyone have experience Are they worth it Are there significant differences between manufacturers

Whats the difference between fashionably late and straight-up rude We asked three experts.

In response to this daily word prompt, I wrote about dreams, and how accepting that your dreams are going to be messy, weird, and thoroughly inconvenient is a good mindset for changing your life. Read it below:

Dreams Dont Come Gift Wrapped

Daily writing prompt If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be

Im scared for my sons in so many different ways.

Im scared that I cant provide for them. Im scared that Ive let my own trauma nest and thrive in their souls before they journeyed out into the world. Im scared that we have so thoroughly obliterated the environment that theyll permanently have a horizon of ash and smoke for an evening sky.

Im scared that theyll be bullied like I was, by not only strangers, but their own family. Im scared theyll seek the wrong people in their relationships, thinking they have to perform for love instead of simply loving themselves.

However, out of that whole galaxy of fear and sadness, what I worry the most about with them is that theyll let their dreams die on the altar of modern life and its throttle of superficial demands.

Those dreams, the ones they got so excited about after a field trip to a zoo or museum in elementary school, will just evaporate against the complicated backdrop of growing up and wanting to be accepted. The car ride conversations, talking to me about what stories, drawings, and animations they want to make.

I cannot quantify how precious those threads of dreaming and ambition are in their little voices. It is beautiful beyond all reason, and I do feel privileged to hear them describe their dreams.

That being said, acknowledging the sanctity and beauty of dreams in our children isnt necessarily a life-changing tip. No, my tip, and how it relates to dreams is pretty simple:

They dont come gift-wrapped.

Dreams arent supposed to be easy whether it is living them, fulfilling them, embracing them, or whatever verb or adjective you want to use. They are difficult to snare and hold onto. Youre pulling an eel out of the mud. Youre finding a four-leaf-clover on a jade hill. Youre scouring the abyss for a few swings of a snowy tentacle hanging off a giant squid. Youre submitting hundreds of times a year hoping to get published just once.

Dreams are beautiful, but they are clay on a wheel, and you constantly have to spin and center them or they dry out. They require upkeep, reinvention, evolution, and most of all work.

It isnt supposed to be easy, and the idea of a dream doesnt necessarily mean a final destination. No matter how many poems, books, stories, and posts I make or get published, my dream doesnt have final a boss. There is no ending. It is simply a complicated word for a journey, lifestyle, or way of life. Expect your dreams to be as messy as other parts of your existence. Afterall, they incorporate the very same emotions, forces, and magnetisms as any other plot point in your narrative arc.

Its okay that your dreams are shoddy, waylaid, incomplete, or awkward. That doesnt strip them of their beauty. They are a context and communication for how you see yourself in this world.

Theyre undeniably you.

Can knowing less make you happier

Good advice but feels a bit heavy coming from a nose trimmer.

But just recently he got in a very bad motorcycle accident and has suffered a lot of brain damage. He isn't allowed to look at screens while he recovers.. His wife asked for people to send voice messages.

I've known the guy since childhood. He's my longest friend. He's just a complete idiot who let others take advantage of his idiocy (jokes about brain damage before the accident have already been made in my head, so we're done with that).

I don't know what to say to him. Wat do, Fedi

Random question: for folks using screen readers, how does the "degree" symbol work

Specifically:

I'm trying to be better about alt text. Does it work better to say "100 degrees Fahrenheit", or does "100 F" present the same way
