Anybody who knows me well knows that music is a huge part of my life (fun fact: it's a dream of mine to be tasked with compiling the soundtrack for a movie or TV series)

Here's a thread of some of my favorite playlists: different genres, different moods, great music

Enjoy! 💜🎶

Trump: “I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene…”
Donald J. Trump -+ @realDonaldTrump I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of "Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women's Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden's Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., having created the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see "Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn't have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn't about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

@leslieleeiii.bsky.social was one of my favourite voices on Covid & I'm devastated to hear about his passing. A brilliant writer and ally. Incredible loss for our community 💔
Tweet from Leslie's spouse "Please read. -YB. All proceeds from the GoFundMe will go to cover funeral costs and as temporary replacement of loss of income" It goes to post a screenshot of text "This is YB, @stuffhedoes Leslie's spouse. I am sad to share with you the tragic news of his passing on Monday, November 10th, aged 43. Leslie Lee Ill was a beloved husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and friend. He left us much too soon. I appreciate your kindness at this time, while we process our grief. If you wish, you can donate directly to his gofundme linked in his profile, any later news I will post from this account. A private service for family is being held this week with a memorial service to be held at a later date in NYC. He was to me, my everything. He was an advocate for others with Long COVID. He was an amazing writer and passionate podcaster."

People will downplay what you do or achieve because they don’t want YOU to realize how amazing you are.

That’s why you have to keep doing you and recognize your own power and greatness. Do not wait for these mfs.
