EVERYONE SHUT UP

Data and Riker chilling in a trailer and blasting cigs

It’s the freakin weekend

this is absolutely incredible 😭

[and being present during this biblical twitter time and a participant in the gospels written afterwards is perhaps the greatest online times of my life]

🤩🤩🤩

learning things trains you to learn things, solving problems trains you to solve problems. those aren't things you learn once, they are skills you maintain all your life. they build persistence, self-discipline, and confidence. things the ruling class do not want you, their chosen enemy, to have.

A foto mostra cinco cães de diferentes raças sentados um ao lado do outro, um samoieda branco peludão, um bernese preto, branco e marrom peludão, um golden retriever, um border collie preto, branco e marrom e um outro border collie malhadinho em tons de cinza, branco e marrom, e acima deles na parede acima de cada um um quadrinho com uma pintura do rostinho dele

Eu amo muito essa foto

reminds me of the mud people oozing to the front during their set at woodstock 94 😭

absolutely love this

being best friends with your partner is S+++ tier, can't be beat, infinity/10 - cannot recommend enough 🤩

[life goal to get back there]

[this books is fantastic, as is everything i've read by @catvalente.bsky.social 🤩]

Mamdani hasn't had time to really think about all that space he now has, because he spends most of his time at City Hall and around New York City. He tries to keep a semblance of his old life by getting around the city on foot, by bike or train. "If you spend every single day driving around in a tinted window security detail, you will have a very specific view of the city," he said. "You actually meet other New Yorkers and you break out of the bubble that so many have come to expect of politics, where politicians only seem to be spending time with other politicians or the people who donated to make them politicians."

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example.

Boots on the ground Boots on the ground Now who the hell are these federal pricks? Hiding in the senate like a bloated ass tick Air-conditioned fuckstick loafers Sittin' in a room full of army posters A coal to a diamond, a vote into law They campaign up all the blood they can draw Mold your world, a soldier's just clay How much does every soldier weigh? Cut you at the ankles, and they throw that ass away

My quote of the day

We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.

Ambrose Bierce

“…and one other thing”

This Is How You Lose The Hundred Years' War

acceptance is not a one time act

impermanence applies to
ev er y thing

(and tattooing a symbol of that on your body doesn’t change that actually 😭)

screenshot of some lyrics: Everyone just wants to be loved Everyone wants love See the god in everyone Everyone leaves out no one And everything besides love is cowardice You wanna be brave, you wanna be tough? Peace and love is the toughest, hardest thing you can do Build a bridge, that's where the courage is Build a bridge, that's where the courage is Shine your light, shine it true Yeah Written By: Flea

My quote of the day

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Ray Bradbury

don’t come

don’t go

don’t watch

don’t be complicit

and i’m begging national teams to do the same 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
