I think its funny when "avid" Christians are homophobic, sexist, racist, xenophobic, ect.. because as far as i'm aware Jesus died for everyone. Just because you don't condone it doesn't mean you can take away other peoples rights to freedom. #America#LoveWithoutLimits#StopHate
If you'e never read The Falling Man, you should do so. I post this on September 11th every year, and I find time to read it on this day every year. Still, in my eyes, the greatest piece of journalism I have ever read. https://t.co/gZgwzRoSgX
A well-known Seattle elder told me something I keep coming back to.
What the opposition gets wrong is the aim. They fire a silver bullet at a heart they donโt believe I have.
Thatโs why it misses.
The heart and soul of We Heart Seattle is simple. We care. We love people. We love our parks. We show up and do the work.
There is a new round of noise right now , lies about my donors, my affiliations, my motives. It is noise. It is not the work. @weheartfounder@WeHeartDirector

Students often don't realize that after they graduate, the game eventually becomes 100% about what they've *actually done* and 0% about what they have the "potential" to do -- and this transition happens faster than they expect.
This can be a hard truth for students who get used to hearing "you're going to do great things" and then never take action.
But it's a welcome truth for those who are willing to put in serious work to get serious results.
someone once told me โemotional intelligence is the discipline of sitting with a feeling long enough to understand it before you hand it to someone elseโ and that honestly changed how i move.
A reminder from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson:
โHappiness comes from solving problems. The keyword here is "solving." If you're avoiding your problems or feel like you don't have any problems, then you're going to make yourself miserable. If you feel like you have problems that you can't solve, you will likewise make yourself miserable. The secret sauce is in the solving of the problems, not in not having problems in the first place. To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is therefore a form of action; it's an activity.โ
the richest man in the world is posting a movie with this ending on main under his real name, and youโre blackpilling
>Remember: I do this, for you, until you learn to do it for yourself.
Obsess. For f*ck sakes. You only get one life. Donโt screw it up by being normal. Go all in. Act like a psycho. Let people call you insane. Please. I beg you. Obsession is the path.
Buy a red car and within a week, red cars are suddenly everywhere. Same number on the road as last month. Your brain just decided red matters to you now, so it quit letting them blur past and started flagging every single one. The same switch is running your whole life.
Scientists named that little glitch the frequency illusion, and the clip above is the same effect dressed up as physics. A row of weights hangs from one string, each a different length, so each likes to swing at its own speed. Wiggle the bar at the right pace and only the weight that matches it takes off, swinging wild, while the rest barely budge. That is resonance. It is also how a radio works: the dial locks onto one station out of the thousands flying through the air and ignores the rest.
Your focus tunes the exact same way, and it can be ruthless about what it throws out. In a famous Harvard study, people watched a short clip and counted how many times a basketball got passed around. Easy enough. Around half of them never noticed the woman in a full gorilla suit who strolled into the middle of the players, faced the camera, and beat her chest for a solid nine seconds. Nine out of ten people are sure they would have caught it. They are usually wrong.
So the tweet is partly right. Your brain does run a filter that picks what gets through to you. Self-help says you can aim that filter like a wish and pull money or love straight to your door. The truth is closer to a sleepy bouncer than a genie. Its whole job is to notice what you keep staring at and wave more of it through. You are finally seeing the red cars that were there the entire time.
The same filter has a darker setting. In depression and anxiety, it gets stuck on the bad stuff, the threats and the losses, and struggles to look away, which quietly feeds the mood that jammed it there to begin with. There is research into gently coaching that filter back toward calmer things. The results are mixed so far, but the idea holds.
Whatever you keep pointing your attention at really does grow louder in your world. Inside your own skull, a machine decides what you see, running on whatever you keep feeding it. The ball that swings is the one you keep tapping in rhythm.
