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.

The UPS driver always leaves packages behind the planter by my door.
Not on the doorstep where they'd be visible.
Behind the planter. Where only someone who lives here would think to look.
Yesterday I saw him arranging it just so, making sure it was completely hidden.
"Porch pirates," he explained with a shrug.
Some people are quietly taking care of everyone.
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
Best mental reset I’ve learned:
If your mind is loud — Write.
If your mind is empty — Read.
If your mind is racing — Walk.
If your mind is tired — Sleep.
If your mind is sharp — Build.
Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

Be bored more often.
Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.
In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.
do not watch this woman being burnt alive if you cannot, please do not. but this is what happened and no police, no passerby, no person on the train, did anything, she stood there no doubt in shock, dying, in pain and no one did anything, just walked by and bitched.
that no one helped?
Remember the Uvalde school shooting, how the police cowered in the hallway and let the kids get murdered. Those Uvalde police were far braver and more compassionate than the average American.
I wrote that the Uvalde police were near scum, to allow the children to die.
