finding humor in the everyday

[Professor Ahmed Hankir @ahmedhankir]

The longer I work in psychiatry, the more & more I'm reminded that poverty is one of the most harmful factors (if not the most harmful factor) affecting peoples' mental health.

@colemerkel So much love to you and your family, my friend.

when all else fails, come back to self. when all else fails, come back to love.

Everyone's got an opinion; be an example.

[Abby Heugel @AbbyHasIssues]

Quit obsessing over productivity. We’re in the middle of an international health crisis and domestic unrest. If you didn’t instigate a violent coup or infect somebody, consider today to have been a success.

America is asking, “who deserves it?”
Jesus keeps asking, “who needs it?”

[Bob Goff @bobgoff]

Jesus talked a lot about how we should identify ourselves. He said it wouldn’t be what we said we believed or all the good we hoped to do someday. He said we would identify ourselves simply by how we loved people.
Love isn’t something we fall into; love is someone we become.

Right now the women&men in Congress behind me are finalizing a Relief Bill...I’m sorry, but any bill that does not address—with urgency—the millions of Americans going hungry is not enough. I know is complex...But food on the table is not negotiable. We must do better in January!

But $600 to aid people during a pandemic.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

I won't minimize the challenges or dangers before us. But I believe America is more broken in politics than in heart. There's ugliness and hate - systemic and historical. But I think we can find common ground on important issues if we could get tribal politics out of the way.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Try to do something this week to help someone else in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It will make you feel better. And it will be a small but measurable step in helping heal our world.

[Bob Goff @bobgoff]

Instead of closing our eyes and bowing our heads, sometimes God wants us to keep our eyes open for people in need, do something about it, and bow our whole lives to Him instead.

Over-communicate hope.

The irony is:

The more successful these public health measures are

The more people will say it was all blown out of proportion.

To my colleagues in public health: I see you & greatly appreciate your service.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Be kind. Help where you can. Support those at the front line of our societies. And listen to the experts!
If you use this as an opportunity to mock or oppress your opponents then that really shows your true worth.
Ignore the hate and ignorance. We're in this together.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Pessimism is contagious. And despair. But so is grit, resolve, action and hope.
