@jayvalle2 I sympathize with this. I may have had the Bureau come to mind first when I first read the acronym.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Fundamentally human beings are the same. Imagine being lost in some remote place and suddenly seeing someone coming towards you over the horizon. You wouldn't care about their race, nationality or religious faith, you'd be filled with the joy of encountering another human being.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

Remember two months ago when we all watched a multi-part documentary series that convinced us that the manipulative narcissist guy was the hero and the woman who protected the animals he abused was the villain?

Let's hold onto that as we consume media going forward.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

As a result of material development and modern education, people commonly seek happiness in external things, but neglect their minds. True, lasting happiness depends on our taming our unruly minds. This is not so much about intellectual development as cultivating a warm heart.

I had a professor who always talked about "the necessity of existence." Basically, some things should be created just so that thing will exist in the world.

So here's a thread to RT anytime some1 responds to #BlackLivesMatter with "but black on black crime" like this yahoo.

The scale of giving in Minneapolis right now - with basically every grocery store burned or shuttered, and food and diapers etc totally unavailable to many people - is pretty staggering. Here’s photos of just one donation site in South Mpls this AM:

It's what happened in the Civil Rights Movement and what needs to happen now. Show destruction if you must, but focus on the central question: What is this country going to do about the unrelenting killings of black people in America at the hands of police and vigilantes?

@JustJoshAllen I especially like the light blue trimmed pine cone, the pink and purple one, and those splattered ones!

@LOTUS3030 Happy birthday to Stella ♥️♥️♥️

Where are the tests?

So, the last week I have been battling COVID-19 & Pneumonia. Never in my life have I been this ill. “Young people aren’t at risk, they’ll only have mild symptoms” Wrong.

I want to open up about the difficulties I’ve gone through these past days, what it was like in the ICU...

A simple explanation of the Impeachment inquiry that has been taking place.

[Ten Tweets or Less @TenTweetsorLess]

I keep hearing that this is all very complicated and people are tired. And look, I am also tired, but this is not complicated. This thread is 10 tweets long and it explains everything, and I spent the first one just on set-up.

The first time the basement flooded, my father ran to the closet filled with suitcases of my mother's clothing & wept. Beige in color, now a deep-wet clay with her embroidered black initials, NM. Her scarves & silks & dresses soaked. An offering he never meant to give.#cnftweet

[Cassia Hameline @CassiaHameline]

I wrote about a storm recently. Sky split by lightening, thunder barreling through the house. The night my father left us for good. I still get anxious when the clouds roll in. Cautious of what they might bring, or take away. #cnftweet

"I tell you this
to break your heart,
by which I mean only
that it break open and never close again
to the rest of the world."

We will miss you, Mary Oliver.

I didn't get into Bitcoin early on, so maybe this will turn out? We'll see. It's a simple signup, if you'd like to join. You get free Q and so do I. https://t.co/UxW0dOG6oU
