I’ll never get tired of saying it, but chase your dreams relentlessly. Every day. Every day… I’ve been following my heart for ten years now, since the deepest pits of depression. It’s the furthest thing from easy. I lost my father in January, and I think yesterday was my first dinner since October that I had real food and not Kraft cheese singles on bread.
But every day I’m doing what I love with who I love. I’m working in the community with kids with autism, I’m training and coaching basketball at my local gym and parks, and I’m meeting new people every day in my community and on here. I cherish every moment with my family and friends… if I had no tomorrow, I will have lived happy.
Humanity triumphs over all, and it’s worth sacrificing every fiber in your being fighting for it.
Let others call you stupid, let them call you what they want. But never let them say that you’re not being you.
There’s something so powerful to being yourself. You feel the most alive, even when you’re exhausted and struggling.
There’s beauty to being alive. There’s beauty to being you. Protect it, cherish it, embrace it.
@indobricwetrust@B1GGIB@ForzaNY22@getnickwright as a guy who doesn’t care who wins, both teams are getting away with an insane amount of fouling.
they’ve let kat/brunson get mauled but they’ve also let everyone in nyk grab and hold wemby to restrict his verticality. it’s frustrating after a while
@x_rayVz@philfanacc@KeyserSoze0099@saltysteve0621 brunson can also be your best player in general, but not in a series. kat has been better than him by far this series.
i love brunson too, mainly just a big s/o to kat. he’s been the fmvp
i just dont understand how in 3 years people went from knowing how to google to forgetting google even exists.... like why r we using chatgpt as a search engine ITS NEVER BEEN A SEARCH ENGINE
Social media has basically normalized antisocial behavior, conspiratorial thinking, psychopathy, and impulsiveness that it's rapidly eroding the very fabric of society as well as democracy.
We wouldn't be in this mess if the algorithm didn't favor ragebaits and echo chambers.
Our world is run by the most abhorrent individuals. The most crooked, depraved, sick, soulless individuals who keep squeezing every little bit of life and humanity out of this world. Because that’s what the game incentivizes. That’s what wins in this world (shocker).
There was a blip in time where *some* (not all were afforded this opportunity) could work hard, actually produce value to society and others, house a loving family, and live a life of relative peace. But that is becoming exponentially more difficult.
Everyday you witness the further moral erosion of society. Exhaustion and apathy increase. You’re conditioned to resent your neighbors, and those around you…. People with similar dreams, aspirations, and values as yourself.
All this for a few horrible people at the top. That’s it. And it’s a ladder of selling out to those people, and then those people selling out to those people, and so forth.
You step on the toes of others to preserve the dreams of your own. And when you get that, you pull the ladder up.
It’s a game of BS, and it’s a game of BS with increasing less reward, and a game people are quite frankly so damn tired of pretending of wanting to play.
People are tired of their intelligence being continually insulted, their humanity being stripped, and continually being undignified.
Linda was minutes away from the school where she taught a special education class when ICE agents rammed their vehicles into her car while chasing a US citizen.
They struck her car, and left her to bleed out without offering any type of first aid until the paramedics arrived.
