"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls" - Joseph Campbell
I’m done with overthinking. I’ve worn it like a badge of honour for too long, a tattoo those ink has seeped inside me.
Well I’m done. It’s time to make demands. It’s time for me to change. Time to write, to decide
Trust your heart, be brave. Press send.

everybody should have a 'why not' project.
just play, listen to your heart, be forever curious
and chase butterflies into interesting places.

the humility of Klopp at his own farewell, to sing for the new manager, to welcome change, is a measure of the man's true legacy. ❤️ #YNWA #LFC

I'm old school and I remember the 80s Liverpool title teams always saying:
"lose four, lose no more"
that's a decent point tonight against a very good side and their goalie's had a blinder! Excellent response second half. Up the tricky reds! Believe #LFC

Been thinking about the links to Cherki and Marmoush.
What if Liverpool tackled their need for a deep-lying midfielder by moving Szoboszlai back and signing a new ten?

This place is getting seriously good; and this is better than good, just magnificent.
My old boss did a lot of stupid things, like, proper crazy stuff, but the funniest was when he was on the roof of our shop and looked like he was about to leap the 6-foot gap to the roof of the neighbouring building.
I shouted, "Jim, don't be stupid, there's no way you'll make that jump!"

what glitters isn't always gold, or blue.
1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins. Many folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).
