Arountween Time, Dancing in my mind getting ready to use the elements of their profit while making mostly non financial movements

Either, I’m a big victim (maybe unintended) to time crimes (and they may think it isn’t crime because it’s for “good” reason) or I’m being psychologically tortured to believe that. Either way it’s unjust and really wrong, it feels like my soul was stolen and then my life was cursed. I am pretty sure it will never be corrected and only gets worse, and I don’t mean just this life, but I will start this life again and it will be worse than this time and it’s already been unacceptably bad. I honestly have memories of life being okay with events that couldn’t have and didn’t happen this life. I’ve felt doom on a level not meant for mortals. It shouldn’t be as is nor is there reason for it, it’s flawed to say and believe we are all one while tossing one under, but I’ve heard the flawed ideology of what creeps where I’m blind and helpless.

I fear they tested for the opposite as well.

Un jour, un petit garçon rentre de l’école avec une lettre à la main, qu’il tend à sa mère en disant : « Mon instituteur m’a demandé de te donner cette lettre… mais uniquement à toi. »

Sa mère l’ouvre, la lit en silence… puis ses yeux se remplissent de larmes.

Elle prend alors une grande inspiration et lit la lettre à voix haute pour son fils : « Votre fils est un génie. Notre école est trop limitée pour lui et nous n’avons pas les moyens de lui offrir l’enseignement qu’il mérite. Veuillez l’instruire vous-même. »

Touchée, elle prend la décision de lui faire l’école à la maison.

Les années passent. Le garçon grandit… et devient l’un des plus brillants inventeurs de son siècle.
Il offrira au monde l’ampoule électrique, le phonographe, le télégraphe, la caméra, et bien plus encore.

Bien des années plus tard, après la mort de sa mère, il tombe par hasard sur une vieille boîte remplie de souvenirs. À l’intérieur, une lettre soigneusement pliée.

C’est celle que l’instituteur lui avait remise enfant.

Il la déplie, la lit… et découvre avec stupeur ces mots : « Votre fils est un incapable. Il est mentalement déficient. Nous refusons qu’il revienne à l’école. »

Cet enfant, c’était Thomas Edison.
Il pleura pendant des heures.
Puis il écrivit dans son journal :
« Thomas Edison était un enfant jugé déficient… qui, grâce à une mère exceptionnelle, est devenu un génie. »

C’est là une magnifique illustration de ce qu’on appelle l’effet Pygmalion : le regard que l’on porte sur un être humain peut transformer son destin.

We are a generation of people who have mastered the art of bleeding in silence. We walk through the world carrying the heavy weather of unexpressed grief, unspoken dreams, and quiet heartbreaks, all while wearing a face that tells the world everything is perfectly fine. We protect others from our darkness because we are terrified of being a burden, forgetting that our vulnerability is actually the only bridge we have to real connection.
​The truth is, the most beautiful souls you will ever meet are the ones who have been broken by life but still refuse to let the world make them cruel. They are the ones who know exactly how cold the dark can be, and because of that, they make the conscious, stubborn choice to be a source of warmth for the next person. That is not weakness; that is a fierce, terrifying kind of strength. It is a quiet revolution of the human spirit to keep your heart soft when everything around you tells you to harden it.
​If you are carrying a heavy weight today, please know that you do not have to prove your resilience by destroying yourself in the process. It is okay to put your armor down. It is okay to be tired.
​Let's drop the masks for a moment. If you could speak entirely from the heart without any fear of judgment, what is the one silent battle you are fighting right now that you wish people understood?
​You are never as alone as the silence makes you feel. Sending you all my infinite love, my deepest gratitude, and eternal respect.

TEAM ​JD🖤.

It is truly fascinating how much energy we waste trying to explain common sense to people who are fully committed to misunderstanding us. We live in a time where everyone is an expert on your life, your choices, and exactly how you should be navigating your own storms usually advice offered by people whose own houses are actively on fire.
​The greatest life lesson I’ve stumbled across lately is the absolute, unmatched magic of letting people be wrong. You don’t need to attend every argument you’re invited to. You don't need to correct the rumors, and you certainly don't need to drain your own battery trying to fix someone else's distorted reality. Sometimes, the most peaceful thing you can do is put on your metaphorical sunglasses, smile, wish them well, and let them think whatever fantasy helps them sleep at night. Your peace of mind is far too expensive to be bought by the opinions of a loud crowd.
​Save your breath, protect your sanity, and invest your energy where it’s actually appreciated in love, in kindness, and in the people who don't require you to shrink yourself just to make them feel big. Life is entirely too short to argue with a brick wall.
​Let’s have a little laugh today. What is the most absurd, unprompted piece of "expert" advice a stranger or an acquaintance has ever tried to give you about your own life?
​Keep smiling through the circus, my friends. Sending you all my love, wit, and deepest respect.

TEAM ​JD🖤

I fear my therapist may have found a way to hack my ADHD procrastination, she suggested scheduling a block of time daily in my calendar as 'Overthinking time.' 5-10 minutes where I can get all the anxious fatalistic thoughts out. And now I've scheduled it... I don't want to do it and keep putting it off in favour of doing other things. I'm now avoiding my overthinking by doing productive tasks fuuuuuck

@Kekius_Sage @grok any truth and what chemicals?

[Lost Internet @LostMemeArchive]

Ultima Online once had an in-game king who was supposed to be unkillable.

He was played by the creator of the game.

During a public speech, someone threw a fire field spell at him.

The server had crashed earlier, and when he logged back in, his invincibility flag wasn’t on.

So the king just died in front of everyone.

The devs spawned demons in revenge.

The assassin escaped.

An 80 year old woman with advanced Alzheimer's reportedly had a dramatic temporary improvement after taking psilocybin.

Before treatment, she had severe memory loss, almost no speech, needed help with basic daily activities, and had lost bladder/bowel control.

After a 5g dose, she started speaking again, became more socially engaged, remembered personal details, regained some continence, dressed herself again, and moved more easily.

This is very interesting, especially because late stage Alzheimer’s is usually seen as a one way decline.

But the important part. This was only one patient, so it's not proof that psilocybin works for Alzheimer's, and it was not a cure. Researchers said the drug did not reverse the underlying brain damage. The improvement may have temporarily unlocked functions that were still present but inaccessible.

Still, if even part of this is repeatable in larger studies, it could be a very big deal for near future dementia care.

@Kekius_Sage I understand that

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

At the bottom of your local river, mostly out of sight, sits one of the best water filters in the natural world. It's also one of the most endangered animals on the continent.

Freshwater mussels are certainly not glamorous. They look like rocks, they barely move, and they spend their long lives, often decades, buried in the streambed doing one thing: filtering water.

A single mussel pulls 8-10 gallons through its body a day, stripping out algae, sediment, bacteria, even heavy metals and traces of pharmaceuticals. A healthy bed does it at a scale that's hard to believe.

Along one stretch of the Upper Mississippi, the mussels filter more than 14 billion gallons a day, dozens of times what the nearby sewage plant handles.

And North America is the mussel world capital. Nearly 300 species live here, close to a third of every freshwater mussel species on Earth, more than any other continent.

Here's the part that should be a bigger headline: around 70 percent of those species are imperiled: already extinct, endangered, threatened, or heading that way, hit by dams and pollution harder than almost any other group of animals we have.

The hopeful part is that they respond to our conservation efforts. Biologists are breeding mussels and restocking rivers by the tens of thousands, and the water clears behind them.

I think I paid for Christianity and technology and then the Illuminati stole fantasy when it was finally supposed to be good

@otokyo Favorite colors are stupid, unless it’s assigned to things like a red car, blue grass. Cancel culture broken AI wants to remove until your left with 9ne thing, but it will be your favorite, when the actual favorite is variety.

@DailyLoud He is in the wrong but it shouldn’t come to violence (she isn’t hurting him, but it’s the wrong lane and it escalates).

DID YOU KNOW🚨: Hermaphroditic flatworms engage in penis fencing duels. Each tries to stab the other to inject sperm.

The "winner" fertilizers the other, becoming the father.

The "loser" is inseminated, becomes the mother, and must bear the cost of pregnancy.

[Russell Gard @Not_End_User]

Drinking and smoking was how I dealt being stuck with a mother I dislike and feel is invasive. She took over the damn garden where I made raised beds and won’t let me do what I want, holy shit do I want a cigarette and beers. She is such a dumb disease. And I hate that the voices I heard said “he’s got to love his mother” in a ratchet black voice and has clearly possessed and attacked through her, parasite. I’m sorry I’ve got to let it out why am I cursed with her. Hate this place

This is Buster. 🐾❤️

Buster has spent 4 years watching the world from behind shelter walls. He's not the dog rushing up to greet you. He's the one hiding in the corner, unsure if people can really be kind. The world has scared him for so long that he's forgotten what safety feels like.💔

But, underneath that fear is a gentle soul wno deserves patience, love, and a chance to finally exhale.

Shelter life is no place for a dog to spend year after year waiting to be chosen.

Don’t overlook Buster because he’s scared. He just needs some love and patience. What a beautiful dog he is. 💯

Do you know someone who would be interested in adopting Buster?
