One is filled with chaos and greed, the other is filled with peace and wisdom

Why am I tearing up this is so cute 😭

does anybody else have like a day where you feel like you've suddenly been cured of everything and you want to go do everything in the world and are so happy and then it's just like Gone

adhd executive dysfunction sucks because you're just sitting there and your brain is like YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME no work done. no rest gained. literally no point of this at all

I’m not sure I’ll ever top 2025 when it comes to wildlife photography. That feeling is such a blessing and a curse at the same time but the unknown is what makes life worth living.

"Misogyny literally kills women"

There’s a fundamental misunderstanding of feminism happening among men. Feminism is not “I don’t need no man.” Feminism is a rejection of a system that places women below men, and stations them as care givers, wives and mothers exclusively. It’s a rejection of inherent gender roles. That also means it condemns the forcing of impossible ideals onto men as well. At its core, it’s asking for the same rights, protections and opportunities to be available to all, regardless of gender. I understand that dismantling gender roles, also dismantles the identity of men, at large. That can lead to feeling lost, alienated and angry. You’re overworked, under appreciated and lack intimacy. That hurts, but that is not the fault of feminism. That is the fault of a society that values individuals based on their ability to labor. That is the fault of men that have made women feel so unsafe, that they are hesitant to interact with men they don’t know. We all need one another. I am a feminist and I think we need men, but we do not need patriarchy. We need to take care of our people.

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize. Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness. Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding. He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history. The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future. A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite. That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

He patiently waited for his introduction then sang his song for us 🥹
