"Yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did" -- a law enforcement official explains Robert Aaron Long's decision to kill 8 people in a strange manner
RT if you've ever had a "bad day" and still managed to not kill 8 people in a racist shooting spree
I love everything about this YouTube channel:

I'm probably really late to this--
But it was a breakthrough moment when I realized that meditation and daily affirmations as an adult are necessary for de-programming negative inner voices we receive from childhood, bad relationships, white supremacy, patriarchy, etc, etc.

This is an excellent, thoughtful, respectful response to criticism for using a controversial phrase.

Hi, I'm here to take sole responsibility for this headline. "Bamboo ceiling" is a real term used to describe the difficulty Asian Americans in the corporate world face in breaking through to upper management. (cont'd)

I am seriously impressed by how insanely, unabashedly profane the 30 Coins finale was.
Like, fellow GMs, if you want a taste of what a desecrated castle looks like, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this show.
But seriously, not if you're squeamish about animal carcasses.

Kira gets involved in Bajoran politics once again when civil war erupts over whether to pronounce Bajor with a soft or hard J. Garak comes out and is mad when absolutely no one is surprised.

pov: you never made a twitter account
I'll try to practice what I preach and be a bit more active and (hopefully) comforting(?) to the feed.
I want to bring good things into the world AND purge it of the stuff that should never have been there. I can do both.
Anyway, here's Wonderwall:
But is the constant and unrestrained anger moving us to the world we want? Can we stop to look at the effect we're having on the people around us? Who we're becoming?
Can we recalibrate ourselves to be the people we want to be instead of running away from our worse selves?
This isn't a subtweet or any specific thing, but it's just something that's been on my mind for like...a year.
And I've been afraid to say it because I really don't want to police tones or come across like I'm diminishing the pain of other people. I'm not. I see you.
But we should think more about the way we're treating other people, and be more careful that we're not focusing on our pain to the exclusion of anything else.
It honestly helps to spend some time spreading joy, too. And hope. And grace, and acceptance.
