There's a spiritual purity to Eric Adams & his complete lack of inner compass. He has no sense of self or core values beyond immediate personal gain. There is no truth, there is no definitive past, there is only whatever is convenient in this moment

True Nurse Horror Stories: A patient told me he had anxiety about medical exams but he didn't take his Ativan, he wanted to try to get through it with relaxation practices. "So you're," I said, and at that moment every phrase meaning "unmedicated" fell out the bottom of my skull, except one

These are not money saving tips these are diagnostic criteria

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

We're really underutilising the medusa centaur possibilities
