Do you think there's ever been a sort of collective agreement in the history of humanity where most people have thought - yep, we're living through such a great period right now ?

I mean - 2012 felt pretty good to me. The Olympics. David Cameron left his daughter in the pub. Savile was outed. Malala survived a shooting. The Conservatives hadn't built up to full steam yet. That guy did a big jump from space. We had Gangnam Style. And that old woman ruined then hilariously repainted that Jesus fresco. That felt like a good year. Although Bieber and fucking Mumford and Sons were still going strong.

@TheBreadmonkey I just checked, and this also happened in 2012, if search results can be trusted

Ever hear a guy cover an R.E.M. song who sounds so much like Freddy Mercury that if you close your eyes you can imagine it's actually him?

I get very tired of people who romanticise Madness or try to say that it is just a facet of normal human experience. I have bipolar. It is an illness. It is out of the norm. It is very dangerous, with the death by suicide rate estimate at up to 19% - and that’s with all the treatments modern medicine has to offer. We are not geniuses or savants, we are in danger

Last night, the result didn’t go our way. We are disappointed, but not regretful. It has truly been a privilege to run in the district in which I grew up. Each of you trusted in me, and I will be forever grateful. Because you have made all the difference.

I don't have the words to express my gratitude to each of you, but let me try by sharing some thoughts...

1/7

If something dreadful is coming up soon, do your best not to make the days before it dreadful with anticipation of it. Endure it when you must endure it, and not a moment before.

@mishellbaker So true. Worry is such a waste of time and energy. Prepare as much as you can - and let things happen.

    Might be that I already shared it here since time ago. But I love this video so, so much. Those ladies are just delightful. And let's celebrate it - this is now 60 years old. How things have changed. And haven't changed.

    And I'm in total awe about their skill as both spinner and knitter.

    Yesterday I went on my first Northern Colorado Audubon birding field trip. Theme: Pawnee Grassland and Raptors. We spotted so many raptors! Several Northern Harriers, Merlins, Kestrels, (lifers for me), as well as Red-tailed Hawks and Bald Eagles. The grassland was gorgeous, and it was interesting to learn that many raptors have adapted to the area by perching on high power lines.

    Gravel road with traces of snow. Tall grass on both sides of the road. Very tall towers with power lines- this is where we saw several raptors. Clear blue sky.

    I’ve been informed that one guest and two dogs are arriving on my doorstep today, with intentions on Get this: moving to my town and using my home I already share with 3 other humans and two dogs. I feel the start of Christmas vacation. Merry Christmas. Shitters full. It is my bf’s cousin and he needs a bed and employment. Cousin mentioned dropping the dogs and following a band around Florida. A grown ass man. Uh No. stay tuned for fuckery afoot.

    I shut down a tech marketing business and destroyed my pathway to working in venture capital. Why? Over the past 5 years, I’ve found myself increasingly depressed. Post-COVID, the reality of my life — hustling for hours every day to build a tech business — was uncomfortable. (1/33) 🧵

    @Daojoan Congratulations on the self- knowledge that you acquired to make this important change. Personally meaningful life work is good for one's soul. Best of luck.
