@jimmyfallon If you’re unhappy, being the only person in the room who doesn’t clap is kind of a downer, for which you’ll likely feel even worse. So, logically the song doesn’t stand up to actual human behavior.

The older I get, the more I am convinced that one of humankind’s most toxic flaws is never stopping to consider whether they could be wrong.

“The permeating presence of absence.” @DanlHarrell, in a @CTmagazine podcast, perfectly described my life right now. #cancer #widow #grief

@agletterman @Writer_DG Diana Gabaldon. If she’d have me.

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

@hxcfrog090 @aarontinsman Thank you.

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

@aarontinsman Yes because my husband has stage 4 metastatic lung cancer. He is vaccinated too, but even a breakthrough case, or a mild case, or even a flu virus could be deadly for him. I mask to protect him and others like him. Just in case.

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

@JamieFord Or alternatively, they knew to never go against a writer when death is on the line.
(You’ll out them in your book and then knock them off.)

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

@JamieFord They didn’t because they know you spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

Having the last word =/= winning the debate. In fact it probably means you lost. It means the other person realized the futility/unproductiveness of continuing the discussion and you lost their ear.

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

@HettyCary He has been vaccinated and still can’t afford a breakthrough case, which could easily be passed to him by someone with “cold symptoms”.

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

@HettyCary I’d like to personally thank all these people for being responsible and protecting themselves and the vulnerable. My husband has cancer. He went out today for the first time in weeks. Just Home Depot and he was well masked but it was such a slice of normal that I teared up.

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

@JamieFord Just talking today with friends about this. If nothing else, do it to prevent your own financial ruin. If you’re hospitalized (I’m the US) and poorly insured, think of the damage financially.

This thread is amazing. I would like to give it a try. What better hear than this one to start.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Was just thinking, “Man, do I ever have a lot to tell Jesus this year.” I set aside the days between Christmas & January 1st every year for giving way to very deliberate reflection on the previous 12 months of my walk with Christ. Then 1st thing every New Year’s Day I open my new

@DPCassidyTKC Part and parcel to the huge growth in Biblical illiteracy in the modern church. I would like to do a PhD to address how we can lay better foundations for Biblical literacy in childhood and adolescence to help offset this problem. An improvement could have huge implications.

[Robin Malcolm @MalcolmRobin]

@JamieFord Oh good grief! It would be an accomplishment and a feat of self actualization if she just wrote a book. But she sold it. For 100 grand. Does this guy not realize that she didn’t just write a book, but she knocked it out of the park? Stop griping and take this woman on a vacation!

[Karen Swallow Prior (Notorious KSP) @KSPrior]

Do not let me hear
Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly,
Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession,
Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God.

The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.

— T.S. Eliot
