My thing this year is that I’m not asking twice. I’m not bearing the responsibility of reminding anyone of any commitments, large and small. If I initiate and you reschedule, remembering to follow through is no longer my responsibility, but yours. Meet me halfway along the bridge of intention.

Americans are fawning over this because he’s a “badass”. I would like to remind every one that HIS administration is arming Israel.
He gave a school shooter a rifle, told them to go crazy and then to save face and as a final “legacy” act, took the gun away after 1000s of children were murdered.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

We need to talk about the impact of trauma. Every day. Factor it into every important conversation.
The report adds that "exposure to childhood trauma plays a pivotal role in both the victimisation of women and the perpetration by men, and that women exposed to domestic violence as children had a higher prevalence of victimisation."
