The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree
These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

Rejection is Protection every single time. Quote: "May the bridges we burn light our way."
Let them be mad.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you.
Let them ignore you.
Let them be right.
Let them doubt you.
Let them hate you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
But never let them make you question your worth.

Be. Like. Finland.
Warning!!! Talk of narcissistic abuse.
It is hard to realize you may be in this abusive cycle and difficult to get out. This abuse can happen in any type of relationship. Don't be afraid to reach out for help if you feel you are in this situation. You are not alone.

They charged Luigi Mangione with terrorism for killing one white man.
But the FBI just corrected the Mayor of New Orleans and tried to embarrass her on national news saying a man who just drove into a crowd w/ a truck loaded with bombs & started shooting is NOT a terrorist.
Fuck this country.

Thank you Carrotz 🫂 We appreciate the support during this difficult situation.
We learned a hard lesson at the end of this year. Careful who you trust.
I just want @morthosthedemon.bsky.social and I to feel safe in our home again...
I hate being this stressed out. Masks have come off and what's left behind is a nightmare. We don't need to hear "I told you so" right now. We understand we messed up.
This is it in a nut shell 🦋

I mean the Vikings were cool and all, but some of y'all just way too obsessed with them, there was some srsly banger shit happening around the world at the exact same time that was at least as interesting if not more
😔😔
2024 and all it's fukery caused me to take so many time outs from the hobbies I love the most.
I'd feel guilty if I picked up my game controller, therefore I'd put it down for months.
A new movie hit the theaters..Nope! I need to stay focused.
Stay focused for what? What will be will be.
"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."
