The journalistic profession has been bought off by politically biased billionaires. Those billionaires now force the journalists to write about only those things the billionaire approves. It’s no longer journalism. It is now propaganda.

GOP tax bill on track to add more than $2.5 trillion to U.S. deficit. And, they are cutting Medicaid and food stamps, even with this huge increase in federal deficit, all to pay for a tax break for the wealthy.

The unkindnesses people lend us often stick hard to our bones. They become hesitation, a reflex, a skipped heartbeat. Doubt, where there once was none. Tattoos we didn’t ask for. And the trick is to remember that these are not walls of your own making. The dark doesn’t hold. It never will.

If you’re some rando dude from the internet who has only met or interacted with the person through Twitch, telling a person “message me, I’m a good listener” when the streamer is having a bad day is the height of hubris.

Let me share some morning wisdom with you and then you may return to shenanigans: You haven't met all the people who will love you. You haven't read all the books you will love. You haven't tried all the things that will bring you joy.
