@Nithya_Shrii Sometimes the people closest to you aren’t your allies, and realizing that can redirect your energy to the right circle

Realizing your best friend is really your biggest hater is traumatizing. Almost makes me never want another.

@fesshole Corporate diversity optics changed faster than your relationship could heal

My partner's picture was part of the corporate email footer for a number of years. When they left me, I made an anonymous complaint to HR that there were grumblings about a lack of diversity in that area, picture updated to remove them inside a week.

@hausofdecline The pupper acknowledges the fire truck, and humanity collectively sighs

Was walking my dog the other day, and a fire truck went by causing him to howl. One of the firefighters was amused enough by it to get on the horn and say "sorry pupper" and my blood ran cold knowing that my life and safety is now in the hands of Millennials.

@daniellellecco Kindness is the secret gravity, everything else is just orbiting around it

@raynefq It’s like trying to sell cookies with the right label but a burnt batch people notice the quality first

You’re going to go through life thinking girls don’t like your writing because it’s not politically correct. I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re not very good at writing

@iky_fwjett Sometimes the real diagnosis isn’t about the syndrome, it’s about how your brain scripts the story

Me: I think I got Cutiepie Syndrome, Doc. Doctor: I keep telling you... That is NOT real. Me: Please, you gotta help me. Doctor: *turns to You, the viewer* Did you imagine me as a "man doctor" while you were reading this?

@goddek It feels like the world is daring you to stay silent while the obvious truths get twisted for clout

It honestly feels like we’re living in an upside-down world right now. The lines between right and wrong have never been clearer to me, yet saying it out loud can actually get you into trouble. Speaking up doesn’t feel like a right anymore, it feels like a risk. Being active on here currently feels like a curse. Like getting spat in the face over and over by the same voices, while the people who are supposed to protect their own citizens seem more interested in shielding those very Greenblatts, Shapiros, and Levins. Am I the only one feeling this way?

@thejustinwelsh Your boss won’t hand you meaning, you have to build a life people care about and then sell it like you mean it

Everyone wants to be an entrepreneur until they realize nobody cares about them. There's no orientation. No performance reviews. No one is checking to see if you showed up. Most people can't handle that. They need the structure more than they'll ever admit.

@bluewmist For me, it hit the first time I laughed at a joke about back pain and actually understood it.

What's a moment that made you realize you're getting older?

@sigfig Icarus wasn’t punished for ambition, he was limited by his tools upgrade the tech, upgrade the flight.

people misunderstand the icarus story. the problem was not that he flew too high. it's that the wings were made of beeswax, which offered very little resistance to heating. with modern materials he would have had no problems. we can fly as close to the sun as we want now

@PeterSchiff Historically, wars funded by debt create cascading inflation and long-term economic drag

The ante for the Iran war has already risen to $200 billion. Once committed, the government will be throwing hundreds of billions more into the pot. The bigger threat is not Iran itself, but the debt and inflation that will result from financing a war with an uncertain outcome.

@RobertGreene Power isn’t in fighting the small stuff, it’s in refusing to let it exist in your mind.

You choose to let things bother you. You can just as easily choose not to notice the irritating offender, to consider the matter trivial and unworthy of your interest. That is the powerful move. What you do not react to cannot drag you down in a futile engagement. Your pride is not involved. The best lesson you can teach an irritating gnat is to consign it to oblivion by ignoring it.

@iconawrites Mastery isn’t born from talent, it’s born from daring to suck spectacularly and refusing to quit.

A professional illustrator I admire a lot once told me, “The only people who get good at art are those who are willing to be absolutely, shockingly dreadful for a long time, and keep trying.”

@nickimoraa If your standard for women is impossible perfection, you’re not shaping healthy relationships, you’re shaping trauma.

If you express that you like your women ‘freshly shaven’ with no stretch marks, cellulite or hair on any part of their body except for their head… You’re not welcome around my daughter or any other children in my care. If you don’t like natural signs of aging on women, you’re probably a pedophile.

@signulll Launches aren’t events, they’re the first chapter of a story your audience gets to live through.

most startups treat their launch as the story. it’s definitively not.. it should be just the opening line. what actually happens now is that there is typically one big launch video, then silence, then occasional product announcements that nobody asked for & nobody remembers. there’s no connective tissue. each piece of content has to justify itself from zero because there’s no accumulated world for it to inhabit. what you should be doing is designing the launch as chapter one of a long book… i.e. don’t fucking create a standalone film. every week you’re adding a page to that damn book.. this is a feature, a use case, a small revelation about what the product knows & why that matters. the content continues. what does this do? well this compounds like hell. audiences who follow a narrative become invested in its resolution. they feel the absence when a chapter’s missing. that’s a completely different relationship than “i saw their launch video once.” this is what we will do with skye.

@Lovandfear “I keep a quiet corner in my heart where only you are allowed to sit.”

In English, we say: “I miss you.” But in poetry, we say: “I still save you a seat in every story my mind tells.” What’s your version of “I miss you”?

@lisaawrites Recognizing burnout is the first step to reclaiming your energy and rewriting how life treats you.

I AM NOT FUCKING LAZY. I am burnt out, overstimulated, and have been carrying emotional loads for YEARS that no one’s ever helped me hold.. I’M TIRED.

@yvessirae Love isn’t just fireworks, it’s knowing how to fight, learn, and grow together without breaking each other.

this lady on tiktok was asked when did she realize her husband loved her and she said “we got into an argument and i yelled at him LOUD AF.. he then said, "i’m in love with you and one day i want to marry you & have kids..so you're going to have to find a way to communicate your emotions without yelling because i’m not gonna have us arguing in front of our kids.".. and i think this is the type marriage im yearning for.

@hell_line0 Boundaries in relationships start with the little things, and this one screamed red flag.

I just saw a tiktok video of a girl saying she gave up on moving in with her boyfriend because they went grocery shopping for his house and then she put a pack of tampons in with the stuff and he separated it for her to pay for it... that's strange

@fesshole Some images stick in your mind forever, and nothing prepares you for uncanny toddler impressions.

When my three year old son is sat on the loo doing a poo, he pulls a face that looks just like Michael Gove and it haunts me.
