To Get Happier, Make Yourself Smaller
Self-esteem is overrated. The better path to enlightenment is through contemplating one’s insignificance.
Terrific Atlantic article!

Sewing is cool again, as interest in skills like crocheting and knitting rises
Although I sewed often during my 20s & 30s [my clothes, kid clothes, home decor] I eventually shelved sewing in favour of other hobbies.
Today, being a conscious thrifter, I think it’s time to get a new machine and let my inner creatrix run amok📍

LOL. Genius post! I don’t give a flying F about comments related to Canada that a perfidy plastic sellout like JD Vance makes. 🙄 Vance should focus on his own shortcomings, and those of his retinue of intellectually polluted racist/xenophobic white nationalist ‘Christian’ groupies and leave 🇨🇦 alone.

Indiana man charged in fatal shooting of cleaning woman who accidentally went to wrong home
The gun had been fired from inside by a resident of the home in Whitestown, Indiana, police said.
Remember Mark and Patricia McCloskey? Eventually pardoned.
With the pardons of Jan. 06, 2021 insurgents, I expect Trump will orchestrate a pardon for 62yo white male Curt Andersen, minimizing his MURDER of 32yo Latina home cleaner Maria Florinda Rios Perez de Velasquez via a bullet to the head.

This is rich, coming from a master of lewdness, hypocrisy, and deception — the Commander in Chief-Pig himself, Donald Trump.
Fairly clear he ignored all the ‘Be Best’ literature. 🫤

It’s so disappointing to witness. I agree @ ‘exposing’ 🙌 While I understand the history/legacy of colonialism & white privilege in North America, I struggle to understand why so many CHOOSE to live a culturally lobotomized life instead of learning, understanding & growing out of learned biases. 😕

Only lawmaker to vote no on Epstein files calls it a ‘principled’ stand
Rep. Clay Higgins, an outspoken Trump supporter, said he was “‘NO’ on this bill from the beginning,” arguing that innocent people will be hurt by the disclosures.
🤔 For me, “principled” is prioritizing child abuse & human trafficking — it eclipses the ‘privacy concerns of innocents named but not criminally implicated’ in this matter.
If a named person IS innocent, they have little to fear beyond a blemished reputation. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

If you need humor in your life and have time to watch television, I recommend Ted Lasso. Brilliant (!!!) ensemble cast and crew.

… or this quote, which the Steve’s (Bannon and Miller) doubtless say to Trump:
