The Carlos Signs episode is honestly like an episode of Dinner Date #DriveToSurvive

Me on my best day as a writer: “I’m only getting started. I’m gonna put in the work and get better.” Me on my worst day as a writer: “I’m only getting started. I’m gonna put in the work and get better.” Put in the work. Don’t settle. Never quit.

“You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.” Brené Brown Be you. 🧡 #kindness #belief #love Picture by anxiety positive 🧡

Everybody on Drive to Survive trying to work out who leaked the Horny Horner messages - Coleen Rooney would have had it solved by the end of episode 1

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

Nothing makes me happier than when people discover their love for reading again, everybody that can read, should. It’s so good for your brain! Also, please support your local library 🫶✨📚

I’ve been looking at some biographical material of the founders of modern physics and it’s striking how much attention they paid to philosophy: Bohr was obsessed with Kierkegaard and his followers, Einstein read Kant. Heisenberg read Plato's Timaeus.

Have you guys thought about what I should have for lunch or am I totally on my own here?

Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity. He quietly changed lives❤️

Betrayal. 🥺🥺

are we allowed to be sincere on here? My husband has brought me breakfast in bed- nothing fancy, just coffee or tea and porridge or a bagel or something- nearly every day since we first moved in together. Sometimes catch myself taking it for granted but he’s wonderful

If Henrietta had an advice column every answer would either be “have a little snack,” “pet me with your eyes,” or “seize the day, shake it roughly by the throat, then scream and lift your tail high as you parade up and down with it in your mouth.”

“Run the race of life at your own pace.” Lailah Gifty Akita Be gentle with yourself. You don’t have to rush or measure yourself against anyone else. Do what works for you, in your own way, and at your own pace. 🧡 #kindness #positivity #belief (Picture by Nikki Miles)

the intimacy of noticing

I've been sick - really sick - for 2 weeks. My husband just FT me from the bakery so I could choose what I wanted because I said offhandedly "I want some cake". Get yourself a partner that knows when to go get you cake. 10/10

"Oh, what's occurring?"

Gamer friends hadn't heard Fast Car and knew absolutely nothing about Drake/Kendrick. I don't want to overreact. But sometimes I get the sense that while we all live on the same blue planet, there are billions of different worlds that we inhabit, each mutually-impenetrable to all the others.

This is Ralph. His body composition is approximately 40% ear. But that does not mean he wants to listen to your podcast. 12/10 (IG: ralph_kd0821)

Clubs and bars are out. Let's open a late night Bookstore where you can silently mingle, drink tea, and read into all hours of the night.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you decide to spend the weekend reading and eating croissants.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Reminder to self

This author's note 🥰 From the Grim Reaper's Lawyer #booksky #fantasybooksky

An important point to keep in mind.

“Sing off-key. Dance with two left feet. Paint like a child. Joy was never meant to be measured in skill.” Some things are worth doing just because they make us feel something - because they bring laughter, freedom, or a moment of joy. 🧡🧡🧡 (picture by positively present)

Every day one person unknowingly eats more mashed potatoes than anyone else on earth. Today I vow that person will be me

“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.” Golda Meir Be you! 🧡 #kindness #belief (Picture by Joyfulsmolthings)

What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. CARL SAGAN

I hope y’all aren't trying to fight fascism without the appropriate playlist. Whether I'm boxing or strategizing, I'm listening to Kendrick. “Music helps reduce pain by activating sensory pathways that compete with pain pathways, stimulating emotional responses, and engaging cognitive attention.”
