As a Vegan, I think I've finally perfected my dinner: what I eat everyday
A simple, budget-friendly, and protein-packed vegan dinner perfected for dorm life. Enjoy a savory buckwheat-lentil porridge topped with toasted seeds, paired with spiced TVP, sautéed veggies, and a fresh side of apples and cucumbers-no fancy kitchen tools required!

Recently, I found myself considering a job opportunity at a company whose values and some of whose decisions I strongly disagree with.
That raised an uncomfortable question for me: how much should our personal principles influence where we are willing to work?
There are companies whose products, business models, political positions, workplace practices, internal behaviour, or approach to employees may conflict with things we personally believe in. And yet, when you are looking for a job and need an income, the question is rarely as simple as "Do I agree with this company?"
Sometimes the reality is that you can disagree with how an organisation operates and still have to consider working there.
I don't think that necessarily means abandoning your principles, although it does mean acknowledging that acting on those principles can become much harder when economic security is involved.
That seems like one of the more uncomfortable realities of working life: we don't always get to choose between working somewhere we completely believe in and simply refusing to participate.
That conflict exists because we're forced to operate in a system that wasn't built for people.
Companies should be built around people rather than treating people as another variable to optimise for profit. Professionalism shouldn't require removing the human element from work, and company culture shouldn't exist only as a polished statement separate from how people are actually treated.
Maybe the more interesting question isn't whether we can find organisations that perfectly align with all of our values. It's what we do when they don't.
I suspect a lot more people encounter that tension than we usually admit.

i hate that LLMs are accessible to everyone now, so people who have a more formal or less colloquial style of communication are immediately attributed to clanker :')

In the context of the modern web, social media gave us unprecedented reach, but it came with a trade-off: uniformity.
Every portfolio, thought piece, project, and achievement is now squeezed into the exact same cookie-cutter UI, scrolling by in the exact same feed.
If you want to stand out in a crowded market, you need a space that actually looks and feels like you.
That is what's driving the resurgence of the IndieWeb -- a movement of creators, developers, and professionals shifting their focus back to personal websites.
Creating your own site gives you the freedom to fully express your creativity, test your technical rigour, create YOUR brand, build YOUR aesthetic, manage the user & recruiter experience.
It takes a great deal of effort, but this shows that you actually care.
Social feeds are designed for amnesia and bury your best work after 48 hours. A personal site acts as a curated library of your experience. Every piece you add compounds its value, creating a permanent archive of your career.
The social web is brilliant for mingling, but your best ideas deserve a home of their own.
Take control of how you network and share what you know.
🌐 Drop a link to your personal site below -- I'd love to see what you've built!
Shall I start? https://ari.lt/ :)

the rise of white nationalism, militarism, continuation of ignorance, and implementation/support of further surviellance is an alarming trend of lithuania
"lietuva lietuviams", "balta lietuva - graži lietuva" and all of its symbolic that reminds me of The Base) or the KKK, ignoring trans rights problems since 2007 ( and doing the absolute minimum to not get into deep shit from EU, albeit theyre awfully passive about the blind eye of lithuania ... ), the support for Chat Control, and the rise of populist parties like Nemuno Aušra, militarism politics are all signals for worry -- this landscape reminds me of the cold war
all while lithuania defends and perpetrates this bigotry :/
sux but welp, thought id put this out into the void

i feel like more people should have personal websites like instead of "whats your instragram / snapchat / facebook / discord / etc" the question should become "whats your website" or something i love indie sites i dont have social media so i just tell poeople "visit ari.lt and youll know everything" 😭 the world would be so much better AND swaggier without big soctech
