Human experience is sharing and knowing we are not as isolated as they want us to think we are. Grasp at the stitches of healing wounds that have ripped us opened to find our lacerations resemble the experiences of others. Each significant and valid. We are connected through discovery/community

A poem i wrote.. #thebookbella #poetry #writing #writer #love #friendship

Same!

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Healthcare literally puts a price on life. To them, it's just money. To us, it is a friend, a relative, a person that we love very deeply. It isn't just money to us. It's irreplaceable human life. Insurance trys to tell the doctor how to do their job and holds Healthcare ransom if they don't comply

Art is raw, vulnerable, provocative, and political. Never stop expression, even it is weird.

Empathy is a prerequisite for love. Without the foundation of empathy, love is impossible. If empathy is absent or greatly deficient, anything that might upon casual observation resemble love – is only parroted behavior/character acting.

This is what we need world wide!

I'm fully convinced that Musk is Cheeto man's sugar mama. Which is why he let's his first lady do whatever she wants to.

There is no doubt in my mind that if they follow through with the Tik Tok ban, they are censoring our 1st amendment rights. It is too easy to unify on there and too easy to spread information that they don't want readily visible. They don't like that the content can not be controlled. (1/2)

Yes!!!! Can't wait to read it!

The only difference between the Titanic and X is that we were sad to see the Titanic sink.

People purposely deprive you of what you need even when you have verbally asked for it, so that when you are not your optimal self, they can blame you for all your short comings. Becomeing a villain in their story while they are actively waging war on your person by passively ignoring your needs.

I'm all for new experiences making me uncomfortable. What I'm not all for is people making me uncomfortable. Trust your gut.

This is controversial, it IS extreme, and we will fight this tooth and nail. Fuck this bullshit.

This is correct

I'm all about making friends at this point with like minded people. We need more unity, even if it only comes from one end of the political spectrum.

The time for being polite has left us. Now it's time for survival, which doesn't also mean being polite. It means deciding that you are going to do what you need to do for the sake of self-preservation regardless of what anyone says. The only people who would deny you that are trying to destroy you

Have you ever noticed the people who hate the term "Gaslighting" are the same people who benefit from you never discussing it?

This is THE vibe!

I plead the fifth because I honestly don't know. I have lost count.

My deepest desire is to do my best to do the right thing. If I don't succeed, then my deepest desire is to try to think through it and figure out how not to allow it to happen again. If it does happen again, it becomes my deepest desire to break that cycle. (1/2)

Happening soon! You don't have to read the book to join. Just sprints today! MIGHT be running a bit late, but still hoping to see you there.

Just finished it and it is so well done! Loved it!

I'm completely opposed to tariffs. It isn't good for anyone. The retaliatory nature of the other counties also placing tariffs on goods to counter the ones we would place will make cheeto man more innocent to his followers. 1/2

Looking for swifties, book fanatics, blue wave peeps, academics, mental health aware and/or intellectual individuals to connect with.

“There are whole books on psychology that don't get anywhere near this paragraph from Dostoevsky,” says Dylan o’Sullivan

When you open up a book to escape the horrors of this world by reading a nice dystopia novel with an even worse world....

It's ok to take care of yourself. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to become a lonely lighthouse keeper and spend your days cursing the sea and your nights gently going mad as you write an unending novel about ghost cats.

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” -- James Baldwin, who died #OTD 1987

I was honestly so peaceful for so long. I had embraced the portion of me that was a peacekeeper. Now, I embrace a healthy amount of anger. That, too, can be constructive. There is no peace without the delicate balance of it. Knowing when to be angry and knowing when to keep the peace.

If anyone is interested, this Sunday, December 1st at 12:00 PM EST, I will be hosting reading sprints on my channel for a few hours. You don't have to read, you can be productive too or do notthing. We just hang out, do sprints and then chat in between. Join us www.youtube.com/live/oNyN8q9...

I'm so disgusted over the tariffs. Cheeto announced his plans for the tariffs, 25% for incoming goods from Mexico and Canada; and 35% for things from China. He said he was going to charge THEM for tariffs, proving he has no idea how tariffs work. 1/2

(Finally) escaping twitter reminds me of this mystic I once read who said that the gates of hell are always open for those who are ready to leave.
