Earlier today, I was thinking about creating more happiness for myself, when I came across this on BlueSky. It’s brilliant! We really can create happiness for ourselves. Doesn’t have to be a big thing. Admire some 🌺; soak in a 🛁; enjoy a yummy 🍮. Anything that adds a drop of happiness to your jar. 🫙

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.

At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:

Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600

Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

Oh, FFS 😡 Piss off and leave us be! We’re not goddamn breeders, ok? #Women are fully autonomous human beings who get to decide what to do/not do with OUR bodies and choose how to live OUR lives. Full stop! 🛑 We’re not here to serve society’s needs by birthing babies. 🖕
Articles like this drive me fucking nuts, because how can you post a stat like "50% of Canadian women say they don't want kids" and state that they would if Canada became a place that "reveres motherhood," but never once consider they just...don't want to?

Taking an anti-vaccination stances against a treatment that saves the life of ONE IN FIVE HUNDRED KIDS and has no verified deaths involving healthy recipients is not just anti-science and anti-logic, it's evil. I have studied this disease too extensively to soften that word.

It's just evil.

I love Wolf Hall but I've only about 2000 books in my house and haven’t even read all of them. Plus I’m another one of those people from history who someone tiresomely named Thomas. So don’t listen to me; listen to this guy instead. He clearly knows his stuff. www.tom-cox.com/why-reading-...
