Calling a forest “undeveloped land” is such a strange way to describe it.

Nothing is undeveloped about it. It is an ecosystem doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

@eyebaws1 @JulianeWriter @eyebaws1 can you give an example? Curious about this.

[RelentlessNRecovery @RelentlessNReco]

@DrCamiloOrtiz Absolutely this. We need someone to start the “Bring back cash” movement, esp for kids. Only cash gives them the concrete concept of spend/save in return for items. Cards are distant mentally, even for adults. Many places only take cards. This should be illegal.

@Stopworkplacebu I find it insane that I’ve seen people on X lately say bullies are good for bringing weird kids into line and for keeping social norms on track. Like what in the world?!?

People are taught culturally to serve or be served, to Look out for themselves. To seek gurus or to become authorities. But not to help each other out as equals.!

I must remind you that the assignment on your life is not up for debate. It is a promise between you and the One who gave it.

It was never given to them, it was entrusted to you. So their inability to see it does not make it less real.

You were not asked to convince anyone of it, so stop second guessing your vision just because others cannot see it.

And because it was never yours to prove, it is also not yours to force. That kind of release is surrender.

Surrender does not mean giving up. It means letting go of the outcome and the belief that you were meant to carry it all alone.

There are parts of you waiting on the other side of that. Walk it out with purpose.

Go live real life. -Jamel Holley

Being right too early often looks exactly like being crazy

@Bannef_ @spicy_bagz @mightydudbolt So if someone is uncomfortable in your presence it makes you autistic?!? It feels like anything outside of some very narrow definition of what a person is now autism

Going through this with my son’s playgroup and learning it’s not only ohs and ahs about rich people or typical status. It’s whoever controls the group and the rules of the group and sometimes it’s grown women still acting like they are in middle school. Literally everything I do is seen as a slight even if it’s exactly what everyone else does 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@mimikmorgan Mimi you are such an inspiration! Love your posts

This is why we have decided to stick to a quality apartment building. Moved into a newly renovated house, got super sick, and was shocked at how everything was made from paper or maybe mdf including trims around windows/doors etc. that would literally nick right off if something hit it. Worst few years of our life and still recovering.

@HannahWardEdu @24JamesASecond I really don’t get the hate. God forbid everyone is not the same.

Researchers gave office workers who lived under LEDs a 60W incandescent desk lamp. Two weeks later, every one of them had their color vision improve by 25%.
The government banned those bulbs in 2022 for "wasting" energy as infrared.

But that "waste" is actually one of the most important nutrients our bodies depend upon, and the improvement lasted for weeks after the lamps were taken away (while nothing changed in the controls).

Decades of forgotten research show the artificial light we replaced it with is a root cause of many inexplicable illnesses (e.g., insomnia, obesity, cancer, and hyperactivity in children). Here I show what that research found and how a bill now before the Senate can bring these bulbs back.🧵 https://t.co/lyYVvZrtnS

I just genuinely hate how locked in we are to app culture now

Chanel bags are no longer luxury.

Time, freedom, and intellectual knowledge are.

People don’t realize that under these “child online safety” laws the entire internet will be censored and u will lose the right to anonymously access any apps including ones like McDonald’s, a weather app, or calculator app. None of this is about protecting children

[A Midwestern Doctor @MidwesternDoc]

Most of the non-incandescent bulbs on the market are not good for your health. I really hope @SenMikeLee can fix this.

[Dear Self. @Dearme2_]

A VERY unpopular opinion; humans were never meant to be this busy. That’s why everyone is anxious and depressed.

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

The Biden administration banned the manufacture of most traditional incandescent light bulbs in 2022.

My LIT Act brings them back.

Should the government be able to pick and choose which household products you’re allowed to buy?

Would you like to buy a traditional light bulb?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

I miss incandescent light bulbs, and know I’m not alone.

Millions of Americans mourn their disappearance, which began when the federal government effectively banned them just a few years ago.

LED light bulbs are amazingly efficient and have their place, but they’re expensive and not well suited for every customer in every situation.

My bill, the LIT Act (“LIT” is short for “Liberating Incandescent Technology”), would give American consumers the freedom to choose the right light bulb for the job—even if that means incandescent lighting—based on their own, unique needs and preferences.

We’re discussing the LIT Act today at a hearing before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

Passing this legislation would be a huge win for consumer choice, competition, affordability, and aesthetics.
