It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.
Hi guys! Kinda nervy, but I just posted my first essay on here! It’s an essay about my take on stereotypes placed on the African American community and where they came from. Please check it out if you’re interested, I would greatly appreciate it!

(What feels like an) unpopular opinion: There is so much more to aging than weighted vests, magnesium, and a hundred grams of protein.
There is contentment in finally realizing who (and what) brings you peace. There is bravery in being okay with walking away from what no longer serves you. There is the acknowledgement that we bring enough to the table, just as we are - No faking or forcing required.
The weighted vest? Sure, it’s beneficial. But there is no vest heavy enough to compare to the weight (and worth) of mental peace.

Lissen,
As an adoptee I've had to learn that one's worth is not a currency to be bartered for belonging.
You are not on Earth to be everybody’s savior, secretary, sounding board, therapist, mama, mule, or messiah.
You are not a bottomless well of “strength” for people to sip from when they’re thirsty and then walk away when they’re full. Your worth is not in your labor, your silence, your forgiveness, your caretaking, your ability to bend without breaking, or your capacity to carry what no one …

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.

Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
HUGE FLIP: Democrat John Ewing Jr. just turned Omaha blue—defeating the longest-serving GOP mayor in the country and becoming the city’s first Black mayor in history.

there's a house on my street that leaves their Christmas lights up year-round. Not just until February or March like the procrastinators. ALL year. The neighborhood association has sent letters. People complain. But every night, those tiny white lights outline the small house like a constellation. Last week, when I saw him during morning…

Some of the media have reported that I took down my post about Stephen Miller
Not true
But the literal minded, should realise that I was not suggesting that someone should actually try to hang Steven Miller
For a start, it would be a waste of perfectly good rope
Second, it’s FAR too good for him
I would prefer him to be being eaten to death by ants over a period of several years
( Not to be taken literally )
