I think we are moving away from the era of social media and into an era of online micro-communities. More intentional, less chaos. Smaller, but more valuable. More boundaries, more containment.

We were never made to read the unhinged thoughts of hundreds of strangers each day, but we were made to gather around fires with groups and share our stories.

You Can Just Do Things: The Secret to Fighting the Malaise of the Modern World

I was browsing a bookstore a few years back when I randomly struck up a conversation with a woman. She asked what I did for a living. I told her I’m a middle grade author.

Her eyes lit up. “Are your books here? I’ll get one for my daughter!”

So we went looking for my name on the shelves. And they actually had a few, which isn’t always the case. I handed one to her.

“Let’s see if they have a pen up front!” she said excitedly. “You can sign it!”

Well, by now, I was feeling like a celebrity.

Once I …

Respectfully I’d rather read about the life cycle of mollusks than another essay on what someone learned from taking a social media break

it's crazy though because when you do start "finding who you are" most of the time you just go back to your childhood & realizing who you've always been.

I learned today from the ‘You’re wrong about ADHD’ podcast that the Māori word for ADHD is aroreretini which means attention goes to many things and that the word for autism is takiwātanga meaning in their or my own time and space.

How beautiful are they? No disorder, no pathology, no judgement, just description.

I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.

Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.

You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.

In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.

If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

Just as literally nobody has demanded to know who is actually running the country, nobody is bringing up the fact that from day one JB was incompetent to sign anything. No civil contract signed by someone in his state would hold up in court and there are a few million business operators that know that. I knew Biden was incompetent before he was elected. Why didn’t you? Not important enough? Not important that he got elected in some(by) districts where there were more votes tallied than there we…

Many American Jews died. Israelis were warned. A few American Jews with close ties might have been as well.

Remember, Israel has been savaged by the Vax Cult. They've been used as guinea pigs. A small tight knit nation, with the same genotypes as those behind the whole thing. Perfect test subjects.

I don't think so, though I would have agreed with you a few years ago. The Elite hide behind the Jewish people. And the Jewish people let them because it's in their perceived interest. That's not the case any long though. But long prejudice against us and in favor of the Jewish Elite hide this from them.
