This coalition is taking the piss. We've had Karen Cchours ridiculous airport parking bills, and now this from Shane Jones and we aren't even at the end of the week yet. Absolute bad behaviour with TAX PAYERS money.

Sometimes the bravest thing a heart can do is stay soft in a world that keeps trying to harden it.

@Joseph_Fasano_ I don’t understand how/why anyone would attack you Joseph, but pls remember those attacks bespeak their own internal failings/struggles/ugliness. I’m in AotearoaNZ and have severe ocd, and posts like yours bring moments of meaning, joy and connection. ♥️

Zelenskyy has aged similar to how Lincoln was described as having aged during the Civil War

I just cannot fathom the strain.

He is the greatest world leader alive right now.

@muheediva01 Of course! Those of us that love 19th century lit in particular have read many that long, and many twice that long!

Whoever invents an AI blocker is actually going to create one of the biggest inventions of our time, and I’m ready to pay for it.

You do not earn a billion dollars. You steal it. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a teacher, or a farmer. That wealth comes from underpaying the people who actually did the work. Stop praising hoarders who are just really good at wage theft.

It’s very funny how debt is totally forgivable when it's tied to a failed business or a hedge fund. But the moment it's for school or a hospital bill suddenly it says something about your character.

While everywhere else is in total chaos, NYC gets the puppies and rainbows subplot.

Good for them.

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

Women are expected to age like they haven’t lived. No lines, no fat, no rage, no grief. Just quiet, youthful obedience until we disappear. Fuck that! I want to age like Mother Earth who’s full of stories, rich with wisdom and unapologetically alive.

why do they treat y'all's president like a make-a-wish kid

[blue @bluewmist]

A real sign of healing is when you stop taking everything personally. You begin to see that people act from their own patterns, their own wounds, their own stories. Their behavior is about them, not you. And the moment you understand that, life feels lighter.

I still remember being read The Weirdstone of Brisingamen at school - magic!

[Kevin McLeod @bannon1975]

The teacher who reads aloud to their class every day, not as a lesson, just as a gift, is building something.
Not reading skills. Not comprehension scores. A shared imagination.
A room full of children who have all been to the same place together.
Who have all felt the same thing at the same moment. That's not a literacy intervention. That's a community.

Oooh yes !
