Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

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.

i love it when a woman slowly steps out of survival mode and starts to fall in love with life again. when her zest for life comes back and when she starts to notice all the magic and blessings around her, it’s the most beautiful thing to witness.

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.

Thank you. Mexico, for standing up for truth snd integrity. We here in America wish many of our corporate leaders could find the decency and courage to do the same.

Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.

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.

World-class writing

i miss slow things. slow mornings. slow friendships. slow art. slow romance. everything feels like it needs a deadline when the best parts of being alive takes more time to bloom than we care to admit.

Kamala-Jitsu: Democrats Turn Trump Into the Incumbent

Trump has fancied himself as a "President-in-exile" so the "ju-jitsu" maneuvering of the Democrats is fair play. In never relinquishing the title - or the spotlight that covers it - he's made himself fair game, and given the Supreme Court's overwhelming impact on the political scene, the actual power of the Trump incumbency continues to linger. Still, as always, top-notch, spot-on analysis from Team Bulwark.

A man who burned a copy of the Koran as part of a political protest outside the Turkish consulate in London has been charged with “harassing the religious institution of Islam”. In a free society - which the UK is supposed to be - such a charge is abominable. We are witnessing blasphemy laws returning by the back door.

When you repeat slogans like “globalize the intifada,” you are inciting violence against Jews in the United States and around the world.

The danger of incitement is no abstraction. It became tragically real on the night of May 21st, when a virulent antisemite—shouting “Free Palestine”—gunned down a young Jewish couple in cold blood outside the Capital Jewish Museum.
