My internal dialogue..

> Do you recall doing that thing?

> It was ten minutes ago..
Sometimes when decapitated you just have to extend your 6 foot long tongue, haul your ass along, and get back on your feet. Grow new feet (and legs), but get back up again, no matter what. #motivationalthings

Ah so I'm a 'gay cunt' because I don't have an issue with immigrants. And there you were just making it clear it was only immigrants you don't like!
How odd and strange that you despise more than one minority grouping! Who would have thought that possible!? Silly me 🤭.

More serious fun musical connections in the style of Pop-up-Video.
Trance from 1995. This time it's Dharma Bums and 'Wrong is Right.'
One half of this act Jason Hayward is 1/2 of 'Phats & Small'. You know the one.. 'Turn around.'
Enjoy, you can turn around too if you like!

I find it's best for me to always at least be 'present' when I'm out, but sometimes wearing the 'dnd' sign if needed. A pleasant interaction/acknowledgement is always a plus though and something I find sends positive ripples out through the day.

Making eye contact and small talk with strangers is more than just being polite − the social benefits of psychological generosity
A social psychologist recommends ways to connect with others as you move through public spaces – with benefits for your own well-being as well as for the social fabric of your community.

'Freedom' in the current political context is doing whatever the fuck you like with no consequences.
'Liberty' is having the right to live a life of choice within societal boundaries and responsibilities.

Charity cutting front line support, whilst hiring for some pretty weird senior roles.

Tech giants with billions in profits.. 'I think we'll raise prices because of tariff uncertainty'.
As good a reason as any for people to stop slavishly buying their products.

Didn't get the time or have the ability (at the time) to go see Revenge of the Sith at the moving picture theatre. I looked it up today thinking, fuck yeah let's go and it's goneeee. Nooooooo! ✊🫨🤌

I'll have some Jedi Order destruction and a side order of Padawan massacre please.

Perhaps on the next watch it won't happen, but no, Anakin just keeps going for the hands-off approach..

Hold on.. Stump wants to rid the world of diversity and inclusion policies, yet wants to install 'monitors' in universities to make sure 'all' viewpoints are given equal voice..

And that's why it's all bullshit your honour..

How ironic that there would have been plenty of older people who would have frozen and not gone to help.

Vance basically admitting he gets his Ukraine info from his bosses social media app, and 'that other guys one. It's excruciating to watch people both squirm and 'flexingly squirt' when they name their info sources for bullshit claims.

I unfortunately (but it was necessary) watched the Oval office video. I believed I was watching a shitty reality show with low emotional intelligence narcissists playing up for the camera (and it was), rather than a HOS & deputy.
There are many negative labels to apply to the behaviour on display.

Those who know me know I love the adjacent, the parallel, the subversive convergences of different forms..

Ooh, and following up my previous motivational post.. 😃
If you repeat to yourself the most extreme action you can think of to deal with troublesome people and situations, then actually practicing something less extreme (and not illegal) feels very empowering.
Ie, you're in charge of your response..

Some people wake up and see motivational mantras posted around their abode. Small tidbits of cognitive wisdom for a smoother life.
That's all well and good, but sometimes there are other messages that can help.
'Destroy all humans' quoted to oneself at the start of a difficult day for example!
