If we're designed like a blacksmith forges a tool then a strict observance to and the conservation of norms makes sense. On that worldview we're like a watch that can either tell time well or poorly. Any deviation from our design would be knowingly degrading ourselves.

When I discovered what we were my perspective changed nearly overnight. What devotion I had to the Creed's position melted away like butter. We are persistent runners that evolved in what is now known as Africa. Bipedal great apes that used endurance running to tire out large prey.

I used to use the word "gay" as a pejorative, but now I actively try to unlearn it. I can remember being on early internet games and having debates with people about how the behavior of homosexuality was an evil in society. It's remarkable how much a person can change. 👇🧵

This level of deception is staggering to me. Trans Day of Visibility has always fallen on March 31st. What Biden did was set up an annual proclamation of that day and in 2024 it, by coincidence, fell on Easter Sunday. He was then accused of directly attacking the Christian holiday. 👇

Douglas Adams' large friendly words seem to never escape relevancy in everything we do. If we can keep our heads on straight and emotions in check then it's just a matter of finding our moments to shine.

This misrepresents clinical depression. Clinical depression is characterized by the absence of meaning and purpose, even when circumstances should provide them. When a depressed person starts to find meaning again, it's usually a sign of recovery.
