Half of the world’s issues could be solved if people were better at telling the difference between overconfidence and real understanding. But the shiny loud vessel will always be attractive, right?

"Don't destroy what you don't understand... every minute that assistance is frozen weakens America, makes us less secure." - Chris Milligan, #USAID

Focus on the "why" when it comes to the closing of USAID. It's all about corruption. Trump gets to pretend he's saving money to justify his giant tax giveaway to his corporate friends. Musk takes control of foreign policy so he can do favors for China - where he makes his $$.

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

This shit makes Watergate look like a high school musical.

I'm so incredibly grateful to the firefighters, animal control officers, and volunteers who are assisting lost and injured animals affected by the LA fire in reuniting with their families. I cannot imagine having to leave a pet behind. #LAfire #ASPCA #PasadenaHumane

Now I know where Shakespeare got his ideas from... humans aren't that into each other. #naturephotography #forestfriends

Some of us are easily entertained... Happy winter solstice!

I love this.

Dear #writingcommunity, if you're ever struggling with motivation, facing writer's block, or looking for a group of supportive writers to write with, look no further than @londonwriterssalon.bsky.social They have kept me inspired & somewhat disciplined for the last four years. 🙌🏽✍️🏽

I'm currently 14 hours into the London Writers' Salon #24HourWritingSprint. And here I was, thinking a few days ago that I had completely lost the motivation to write due to a severe injury. LWS seems to know writers better than they do! #WritingCommunity

It's been a tough week! #HappyFriday y'all!

It's been slow, but my strength is returning.

My faith in humanity is constantly tested but, thankfully, never fully eroded. Grateful for this space.

This site feels like twitter when twitter was fun and weird and cool.

Hopefully the people who run this platform fully understand the many reasons why a mass exodus of people has fled toxic X, and will do their best to ensure this place never becomes anything like that.
