“Why is it that every so often history demands a bloodbath, a holocaust, an Armageddon? And why is it that every time the time before has taught us nothing?” Graham Swift - Waterland, 1983. Kim English - Morning Paper.

🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: In a shocking expose, the New York Times has uncovered that Donald Trump has secretly spoken with Vladimir Putin as many as SEVEN times since leaving office. The conversations coincided with Trump pressuring Republicans to block military aid to Ukraine. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR!!! Trump also secretly sent Putin COVID tests while he was in office, when they were hard to obtain. Putin even asked Trump to keep it a secret. There is no way Donald Trump should ever be allowed to occupy the White House again.

Due to Ron DeSantis’ failure to prepare for Hurricane Milton, @realDonaldTrump has opened ALL his golf courses including Mar-a-lago to corral and safeguard any Trump supporter’s livestock that need to be evacuated from the hurricane’s path. He’s also providing free hay and feed!

“I loved my friend He went away from me There's nothing more to say The poem ends, Soft as it began- I loved my friend.” Langston Hughes Kitty Lange Kielland - Evening Landscape from Stokkavanett, 1896.

9 Harsh Truths I wish I understood in my 20's: 1. Everyone is responsible for their choices and behavior. At the end of the day, it's always on us. 2. Quick fixes are popular because healing take time, new habits, and consistent commitment. 3. There might not be the one. Focusing on finding the perfect person takes away the time you could be learning how to self regulate and communicate. 4. We all self sabotage. We all have narcissistic traits. We all have self doubt. Welcome to being human. 5. People's opinions are mostly projections. You can learn from all feedback, but also know it's extremely bias. Nothing is personal. 6. Not everything needs to be fixed. The wisest people know how to sit with the pain and suffering people experience without saying or doing much of anything. 7. People pleasing is an attempt to control people's perception of us. Once you face that, you can finally start to let it go. 8. No one has a perfect life. Stop romanticizing the life of other people. We all carry things we don't talk about. 9. Your body doesn't just age because of genetics. It ages because of how it's cared for. Care for your body, it's your vessel for navigating life. Which do you think is most important to learn in this life? Retweet if you felt this to be true.
