Children need boundaries and structure for proper development. That is how they develop a sense of purpose and right/wrong.
Billionaires are trapped in an early stage of development where the only motivating factor is gaining more money and power. They never properly learned what consequences mean

I’ll forgive when I know it can’t be done to me again.
That, for me, is an essential element to forgiveness.
I think about this all the time

something we talk about a lot in nursing school is the fact that in modern medicine a huge portion of our patients' problems are systemic and there's nothing that they can personally do or we can personally do as healthcare professionals to change anything about that. the whole system's gotta go.

A split bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Americans are most likely to say T. Rex is their favorite dinosaur, but many don't have a favorite." The chart has the sub-headline: "Which of the following is your favorite dinosaur? (%)." The chart has the note: "Note: "Other" includes responses of archaeopteryx, spinosaurus, plesiosaur, ankylosaurus, allosaurus, parasaurolophus, dilophosaurus, diplodocus, iguanadon, and pachycephalosaurus, as well as responses of "other." We know pterodactyls and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs. Opinion about dinosaurs comes from the question, "How much do you like or dislike dinosaurs?""
A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur.
And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops).

I knew a powerful medicine woman once who made herbal remedies. I asked if she was always loving and wise or if she struggled sometimes. She looked at me like I was a nut and said, "The weeds in my garden don't think I'm loving and wise. You have to be able to kill what's doing harm." And I agree.
Yes.
When I hit the swiss cheese holes in my functioning every one decides it is me being sloppy, or irresponsible or indifferent
And I’m like: its is where I am DAMAGED. I can’t.
Any news about that certain task we discussed?
Can we get a big boat stuck I feel like we really need this as a global community
Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.
Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.
And here we are.

A Great Blue Heron bringing in a stick that's bigger than he is to add to the nest.
I can usually tell which of my posts were written before my meds kick in because every sentence has one or more parenthesized parts jammed in somewhere, lol
Page one: text on black background, “WAKE UP!”. Eyes open, a baby sea turtle with an eggshell helmet says, “you need to wake up!”
Page 2: helmet turtle says to a green baby sea turtle, who is waking up out off his egg, “we need to get moving.” CRASH! A cormorant breaks through the ceiling of their nest hole. Helmet turtle says MOVE!
Page 3: “when you’re out there, beeline to the water. Don’t stop. Don’t be a hero. Godspeed.” The helmet turtle kicks baby green turtle out the hole off a cliff onto the beach below.
Page 4: baby green turtle lands on the sand. The distance between him and the water is quite large. Another baby sea turtle is being devoured by a seagull and is screaming for help.
I dreamt of the beach (1/4)

Absolutely essential long read here from @dominguezf.bsky.social about the relationship between gambling and videogames — not just gacha and loot boxes, but engagement tactics, addiction by design, “the machine zone,” and of course, roguelikes that leverage the lure of traditional gambling games.
