Do you know that there is arguably an equal amount of pain and pleasure, death and life, good and evil, laughing and crying, giving and taking in the world every passing moment?.

I have absolutely no interest in meeting your expectations. If for some reason your expectations and my actions ever align, it will be by chance.

No matter what, we must uphold the sanctity of life. Before any geographic, ethnic, or ideological lines, we are all bound by shared biology.

ICYMI : The abducted Oyó school children and their teachers are yet to be released. It is sad that this is becoming one of many. This requires collective effort to remember them, and continuously remind the government to secure their release in earnest.

Do you guys remember when we read Lonely Days, Native Son, Blood of a Stranger, Faceless, and Othello in secondary school?
Good old days

No one can sell me a dream I have not already dreamt.

@Cointelegraph It definitely was not for these bleeds. But, oh well – we're already here – might as well thug it out. 🥲

@connectwithtola Please what are @NafdacAgency and @fccpcnigeria doing? The amount of substandard goods/products being peddled in Nigeria is alarming. This is an indictment on all MDAs responsible for maintaining standards in Nigeria.

The horrific videos just keep coming up. Hardly a day goes by without seeing someone who could be any of us, if the tables were turned.

We deserve better. These lives matter.

A young Harvard medical school graduate spent nearly three years stuck in his parents' house, having panic attacks and hallucinations. One evening at twilight, walking into a dressing room, he was hit by what he later called "a horrible fear of my own existence." His name was William James. The diary entry he wrote on April 30, 1870 became the foundation of modern psychology.

The line was this: "My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will." He was 28. He'd given up. So he made one decision: stop waiting to feel okay before doing things. He would do them first, and let the feelings catch up whenever they could.

He spent the next twenty years turning that one diary line into a science. His 1890 textbook landed on a simple split: the things you do are under your direct control, but the things you feel are not. You can decide to swing your legs out of bed and walk to the kitchen. The mood that hits you while you're walking, you can't dial. So you work the part you can work. The feeling side shows up on its own clock, when it's ready and not before.

Brain scanners caught up about a century later. There's a network in your head that switches on the moment you stop paying attention to anything specific. It's the voice that drags you back to something dumb you said in 2014. In depressed brains, this network is overactive. It runs in loops. It will not let go of the negative track about you. The second you start doing something that actually needs your attention, the loop quiets and a different network takes over. Action is the off switch.

In 2016, The Lancet published a trial called COBRA. Researchers took 440 adults with depression and split them in half. One group got CBT, the gold-standard talking therapy where you work on your thinking patterns. The other group got something simpler, basically James's idea written into a treatment plan: pick small activities each week, schedule them, do them, see what happens to your mood. A year later, both groups had improved by the same amount. The simpler version also cost about 20% less to deliver, because junior workers can run it. Five days of training is enough.

In 2024, a research team pulled 218 studies together, covering 14,170 depressed people. Walking and jogging produced a real drop in depression scores. Yoga, same drop. Weights, same drop. The authors' verdict: exercise belongs alongside therapy and medication as one of the main treatments for depression.

So that's the answer William James worked out from his own three years in hell in 1870, and that 14,000+ people in clinical trials have confirmed since. Action. Walk somewhere. Pick something heavy up and put it down. Show up at yoga. Schedule one small task and finish it. Any of these works, and they work for the same reason. You move, and the feeling follows.

I've searched for the light that accompanies Children's Day, but it evades me. Perhaps the fault lies in my eyes— unable to catch the bright side others hold so easily.

You can just pick any topic and then learn all about it. Design your own syllabus. Make a reading list. Dive into primary sources, documentaries, podcasts. And when you're done, you can just pick a WHOLE NEW TOPIC. It's insane actually.

What a term. Now we eye the successor.
