Isn’t it wild that 1993 felt more open minded than half the discourse we see in 2025?

Which games always survive the uninstall purge when you run out of storage? Here's mine:

Wild to cheat in a time when technology is more loyal than you are

Skip the movies for the first date. Playing a video game together is the fastest vibe check. You’ll know if they're endgame material soon enough.

Shoutout to everyone who has to wear their hair down 24/7 because putting it up gives them migraines

Genuinely, what is it about disabled and chronically ill people that makes you call their inclusion “wokeness”? Why do you believe they deserve less dignity and humanity? Just say it plainly if you are so sure of yourself about this.

I’m so over fireworks. With the 4th of July coming up, I can’t stop thinking about how I get alerts about fires near me daily & it’s exhausting living on edge, keeping a bag ready to evacuate, while people set off sparks for fun. Can we please update how we celebrate things?

Thinking about the Ashley Madison leak (a site for married people looking to cheat, but user data was leaked.) Researchers found those on the list were more likely to cheat in business too. If you’ll betray the person who trusts you most, it’s easier to betray others.

Search discipline. Let the algorithm work for you, not against you.

If your phone has a grip on you, use it to your advantage. That same device pulling you under can be the tool that rewires your brain. Addiction is a loop & your brain doesn’t care whether dopamine comes from something harmful or not. It just follows the signal. So change the signal.

Your phone isn't the villain.

It’s that we let it replace silence, rest, and presence. We stopped setting limits. Now we wake, scroll, perform, compare, spiral, repeat. The problem isn’t tech. It’s the absence of boundaries and the overstimulation we normalized.

How a 'Hero' Tennessee Gamer Stopped a Mass Shooting Allegedly Being Plotted in a California Town A young boy from Tennessee contacted authorities when he stumbled upon disturbing plans to terrorize a California school in an online chatroom -- he may have saved countless lives

Here's more details:

“Gaming is just a waste of time.”

Tell that to the kid who stopped a mass shooting 2,000 miles away because he paid attention to chat in a game and chose to act.

You’re allowed to disengage. To protect your peace. To let their ignorance echo in the silence they created.

Because connection begins with respect. And if they can’t offer that, they never deserved your presence to begin with.

Remember this:

Your time is a currency.
Your energy is finite.

And not everyone deserves access to any of it. You don’t have to explain yourself to people who never planned to listen. You don’t owe your insight to someone committed to misunderstanding it.

They show up to perform, not connect. To extract attention, not exchange ideas. To argue with intent they invented, just to feed their ego.

Then they wonder why no one wants to talk to them. Why people block them. Why timelines feel tense, shallow and exhausting.

3/

They don’t ask for clarity. They don’t offer good faith. And when you do clarify, they ignore it, because they were never interested in what you meant, only in feeling above it.

It’s not about truth.
It’s about control.

2/

Some people don’t respond to understand you. They read your words just enough to twist them. Not because they misunderstood. But because attacking you makes them feel smarter.

This Mother's Day, daughters are watching. And they're deciding what they will and won't accept when their time comes.

These daughters aren't selfish. They're observant.

They watched their moms disappear into everyone else's needs and get thanked once a year with rushed gestures.

They're choosing differently.

They want Mother's Days that aren't another task for mom to coordinate. Lives where care isn't a solo sport. Relationships where "she's better at that stuff" isn't an excuse.

So they're holding out. Not because they hate kids or families. Because they want actual partners.

Someone who remembers appointments. Who notices when supplies run low. Who doesn't treat their own children like a favor to their wife.

These daughters realize: The problem isn't motherhood. It's being the only one paying attention.

They've scrolled past countless "mommy needs wine" jokes. They've also seen relationships where both people just handle what needs handling. No hero medals for basic parenting. No martyrdom required.

Some daughters see different dynamics though.

Friends whose dads just... know things. When school starts. What size shoes their kids wear. Their mothers don't manage everything because they don't have to.

Mom knows every teacher's name, every practice schedule, which kid hates tomatoes. Dad needs reminders for parent-teacher conferences. Mom handles sick days, doctor appointments, birthday parties. Dad asks "do we have plans this weekend?" when it's on the calendar she updates.

Daughters are watching.

This Mother's Day, they're watching their moms pretend excitement over last-minute cards and wilted grocery store flowers. Watching them book their own brunch reservations and remind everyone what time to show up.

They notice patterns.

I don't have an absurdly long masamune but I do have Sephiroth's ethereal, silky long silver-white hair and blue-green eyes 🩸 #VRising

Black cats are the least adopted and most euthanized in shelters. Superstition still shapes their fate and too many people still overlook them. Ron Perlman set a great example by adopting one. It made me respect him even more 🖤🐈‍⬛
