@NolanMarkey Every time, followed by some loud grandstanding that asks ‘what are you (community) going to do about this? How can you (community) make it better?’ 🙄
@jbuaudio Pasta! Cook, reserve 1-2cups of water. Drain. Sauté garlic with oil or butter, put noodles in. Add ground pepper, dried mustard, oregano, basil, thyme, sage and smoked paprika to taste. Pour in reserved pasta water, enough for sloosh sounds. Drench in cheese. Serve with peanuts.
Do not tell people to ignore the haters. Tell the haters to stop hating.
By asking people to 'ignore', you're effectively asking them to put up a shield. And the thing with shields is .. they break. So I'd rather care more about the bullet never being fired in the first place.
The reason I’m saying this today is because I’ve got thousand of positive messages over the years and I don’t remember them all. But the few negative ones I do.
That shows the kind of impact they can have.
No one trying to achieve something deserves that. Once again, be kind
Encourage people even if you feel they’re doomed to fail. You never know what they can achieve. Least you can do is not be a thorn in an already difficult journey.
When I hit first 100 followers on socials, I made a celebratory post saying next was 500.
A guy messaged “why u so happy about 100 lol,half of them are your friends. 500 is a dream”
I have over 1.2M today but I still remember that message.
Negativity impacts people. Be kind.

Too many Christian political leaders behave more like Trump than like Christ. Christian families are torn apart by MAGA members who behave—in their political lives—more like Trump than like Christ. It’s time to face facts: Trump discipled the church: https://t.co/dUP4NTfkmf
The greatest threat to Christianity is not secularity. It is certainty. When you are so convinced that you are right, then you will create all types of enemies and cut yourself off from all the ways God is active in another person's experience.
Our Christian religion is being co-opted for the sake of power and control over our culture.
Where Jesus chose to save us by his grace and mercy, Christianity is being used to coerce and control people into conformity.
This is what it looks like to take Christ’s name in vain.
