Tom Hiddleston says happiness is overrated and spending your life chasing it can actually make you unhappy
"Happiness is overrated. Meaning is underrated. Happiness is like a sunrise or a sunset. Bear with me"
"You're there. It's lovely. You're present with it. The sun's rising or the sun is setting. It's perfect. After 15 minutes, the moment is over and it's gone. Trying to sustain it is impossible because it's over"
"And a life spent chasing the permanence of that feeling will make you unhappy because you can't hold on to it. The moment you try to hold on to it, it slips through your fingers and is lost"
"Meaning is a structure that only you create in your own life, an architecture with your own particular spiritual fingerprint, whereby if you're going through a hard time, if you're going through challenge, struggle, obstacles, suffering or pain, only you know why you're going through it"
"You might know, this is hard now. I'm doing it for my kids. I'm doing it for my mom. I'm doing it for my future"
"And then it makes enduring the hard times bearable because you know what it means"
"And meaning - this is the take - meaning yields joy. Joy is deeper than happiness"

I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

Trump has decided to send a hospital ship to Greenland.
Let’s send a library ship the other way.
Fill it with Locke, Montesquieu, and books that are banned like Anne Frank, Harry Potter, and The Handmaid’s Tale.
Deploy an army of librarians. The U.S. needs books on the ground.
@softypapa Aren't there any Red Cross shops in Japan where you hand in stuff you don't need anymore? Those toolboxes would be gone in seconds! Even if you placed them outside your house with a note 'For Free'!
Dear American friends.
We agree that status quo in the Artcic is not an option.
So let’s talk about how we can fix it - together.

Jeg har været hjemme hos Andreas. Jeg har været fuld sammen med ham. Og jeg har talt med ham ude i rummet, da han var menneskehedens yderste forpost ved et eventuelt intergalaktisk angreb. Og jeg siger jer.
Det er fandeme ikke ham, der er retarderet.
