Be kind, because depression isn’t always crying eyes, and tired smiles. It can also be a cracked heart hidden behind a joyful person.

Normalize not oversharing and keeping your personal life private. Not everyone wants what's best for you.

Happy Friday, All! I just discovered the Grok profile summary icon on folks Twitter/X bios. It's sunny in western Oregon, so there's that! Cheers and have a great weekend!

A huge shout-out to the DeSantis administration for not wasting any time in scaring away the pedophilic rapist sex trafficking Tate brothers. The big bad alpha males ran away like the little rats that they are when threatened with accountability for their crimes.

Seth Dillon Meanwhile, Tate:

I serve the church by helping parents and church leaders manage abusive situations. Every abuser I’ve encountered so far (and there have been many) volunteered in the church, did good things, and tithed. They look and act like good people in public. I’m glad Tristan helped Remi.

Most relationships taught me the more chances you give ppl, the less they value you. They're not scared to lose you bcoz they know no matter what, you won't walk away. Never let anyone get comfortable with disrespecting you. Love yourself enough to choose distance over disrespect

Illuminating

Take a moment to appreciate the little things I didn't know when I was going to eat again at certain points while growing up, but I got up from my comfy couch to make poutine fries at 9 p.m. just because it sounded good, and that's a blessing Life is hard but it’s a lot

If they don't listen, stop talking. If they don't appreciate you, stop doing things for them. If they don't value you, stop providing value and prove your worth to them. If they don't respect you, stay away from them. Stop being an option and start choosing people who choose you.

Not fooling me 🤣🤣🤣

emilysversion.com/p/hes-not-a-go… Thanks Emily emily may! Excellent essay - uplifting, practical, and challenging in good ways. This hit home for me: "Women want to feel like their spouse has their back. . . . they want a partner who is equally invested in building a shared life."

Please consider this perspective. I joined X in 2022 but didn’t start posting until Jan of 2023. During that time I’ve seen countless episodes of total strangers casting vile insults about others (including me) merely because of their (or my) views of the stock market. Pathetic

The problem with AI cultural content is that it doesn't promote full-spectrum identification in the soul or the brain. We may admire it and be dazzled by it, but we don't want to be it, hug it, die for it.
