If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history.
Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30.

#Washington folks: HB 1584 is an attempt to take away vote by mail in our state, forcing us to only vote in-person on election days. Making it harder for people to vote is voter suppression. Use the link to message state reps and tell them to reject this bill!

The narcissistic cycle goes like this:
1. Idealization (love-bombing)
2. Devaluation (includes mind games, gaslighting, stonewalling, and no-win scenarios)
