Why does
a boot 
crush the Earth — fissured and rough?
What is above the battles’ sky -
Freedom?
God?
Money!
When will you stand to your full height,
you,
giving them your life?
When will you hurl a question to their faces:
Why are we fighting? — V. Mayakovsky (1917)

@JamesMelville Literature, nature, and yes, scones!

@lady_valor_07 Haha, what?! I was sent to school in minus 40, which I must admit was purely mental, yes.

Serious question- did your parents ever let you take a mental health day from school growing up?

@OhDear_Friend Your mum cares about you, mate

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT, I turn 38 this year and I have realised , as a man, no one cares about you. Not your wife. Not your family. Not your friends. Not your workmates. Nobody. People act like they care, but deep down, they don't. You are on your own. Always on your own.

@elonmusk The race against stupidity is perhaps the most consequential, however

Yes

@BlondeOfWar She needs to bring her own personal bottle opener on board next time

She’s on a British Airways flight and they’re handing out bottled water. She says the tops are difficult to open and has asked the flight attendant to help open them before. This time when she asked, the flight attendant looked at her like she was crazy or a child so, of course, she had to post about it. Who is the Karen here? The flight attendant for not helping or this influencer for posting about it?? 🤔

@Zoya_ki_batein Doesn’t show anything except the teacher being an arsehole

A Russian Teacher recorded the differences in the development of boys and girls of the same age, showing that girls are more organized and smarter than boys

my kid wants to stay up after bedtime looking at books with a flashlight, but i of course put a stop to it right away because that sort of behavior is a one way street to a phd in the humanities

'Silvana Cenni,' was painted by the Italian painter Felice Casorati in 1922. It depicts a female figure seated on a chair, wearing an alb and deep in thought or prayer. Behind her, beyond the open window, is the church of the Capuchin convent in Turin.

My dog ate a considerable portion of my copy of the complete works of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, does that count?

@arttavana She might be 58 but she sure as ef looks hot to me

She looks good, but she’s 58, and none of us are gonna be hot at 58. We’re also in a weird stage in our cultural development where we either troll feminists by being ageist towards older women or hype them up by glazing them with lies in order to virtue signal to feminists.
