I don't know why ~75%+ of people need to be reminded of this but--
It IS, in fact, possible to choose to not be a raging asshole.
You CAN choose to be actively kind.
You can be supportive without metaphorically (or otherwise) shitting on others.
A shock, I know.

@irishacw TBH, I just saw this as I'm deleting most of my twitter stuff (I'm tinseljess on other platforms), but I know his wife did submit a request, but the pension was denied. I don't know why.
Phebe died in extreme poverty, living outside of a tenement from what I understand.

@Agrbez @Wiggo1875 @marinamaral2 @BattlefieldNDY @James1940 I’m slowly deleting stuff from this platform (tinseljess on 📷,🧵& ) and just saw this reply, I am SO sorry.
Yes, my grandpa was in the 517th- transferred in from the Signal Corps, did jump school in Rome.
Do you have any recommendations on where I can learn more?

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@militaryhistori Oh no! I’m so sorry! It’s such a terribly hard thing to go through, losing a floofy family member. You can tell in your photos how much he is loved, and how happy he was to be loved by y’all- you gave him a joyful life. All my condolences.

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@timmatmusic The only thing people should try to be is an actively kind person. The world needs more reasons to smile. Or at the very least, to actively choose not to be an absolute asshat. That’s it. :)

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@timmatmusic Or are you looking more for specific songs?
Nothing Else Matters- Metallica
Black Velvet- Alannah Myles
I Wanna Be Your Sucker- Betty Blowtorch
The Best Things- Danny Kaye
Faves:
Dreams- the Cranberries
Fade Into You- Mazzy Star
In Your Eyes- Peter Gabriel

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@timmatmusic Just like general music for covers, or different styles?
My favourite bands are The Cranberries, Flogging Molly, and Frightened Rabbit. I was raised on Springsteen, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, the Big Chill soundtrack, and bagpipes (Dad’s a piper).
I love music from the 20s-40s too.

@jennylehman121 @timmatmusic Especially for women who were overlooked in the past! So many other millennial women I know, especially after becoming moms, have been diagnosed later because ADHD, for example, was seen as more of a boys issue when we were growing up.

@timmatmusic I mean I certainly hate myself less knowing now that it’s not just my failures or whatever. Helps me find the right tools or workarounds since my brain works legitimately a bit differently. Learning vs. internalising and judging. It’s been helpful and kind of freeing.

@ainemagu Whereas me, in the US, looking around:

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@KierstenWarren Wouldn’t mind. Or alternatively, a beacon of Katie Porter’s whiteboard because she would rock it.
Or Mark Hamill.
One of my aunts.

I’m so just tired & done, you know? Like obv. I’ll go for the person w/ the best chance to beat the evil cheeto but why are these our options?!

@timmatmusic Oh good god I wrote way too much in the messages, but hopefully if nothing else, you feel a bit better.

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@timmatmusic Okay 1st—the sublime and beautiful = the Romantics— I see what you did there, and props to you, sir.
2nd— yes a lot sounds familiar— but I will just send a message as it’s weird to have to break stuff up into smaller tweets.

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@timmatmusic Somehow that got even more depressing, oof. At least people also have the capacity for being wonderful (I have my doubts about several politicians). Making tiny changes to Earth— at least I figure out how to ground idiots and put them in time out, lol

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@timmatmusic I'd just really love if the world could stop being a giant dumpster fire. My Ferngully and Captain Planet raised self is both infuriated and just tired. I'd still rather live in the UK than here (too many credible threat emails from my kid's school per year), but [void screaming]

[Jessica E @TinselJess]

@timmatmusic That’s actually fascinating that they even can, because- well you wouldn’t think they’d be able to see anything at all— too dark, what with their craniums being embedded so thoroughly inside their caudal orifices.

Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions.

Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.
