I'm tired of "doomscrolling". I prefer laughter, peace, & optimism amongst the realism. Married to the love of my life ❤️. Mom to awesome kids, but I may be biased towards their awesomeness. 😉🥰

I made this meme. It's inspired by people who immediately lash out for no reason on a random comment thread lol. Use it if you like 🤣
Baby Yoda (ok, it's Grogu) sitting at a table, writing in a journal with a feather quill. The meme caption is: "Try journaling, you must. Calm your mind, it will."

Let's all remember this: opinions aren't facts 🥰. Here are some fun questions I like to ask when people make certain claims. 💜
#factcheck #curiosity #credible #hashtags #Monday
When opinions start sounding like facts… 🤔 Try asking: “That’s interesting! Which sources do you consider credible?” “Could you share where you got that info?” “Do you usually cross-check, or stick to one source? Which one?” Encourage curiosity, not confrontation! 💡

We found this cool magnet at an antique store 🥰. No, it isn't an antique, but it's awesome! The store owners also loved it. It was a lovely find 💜✌️
Racism is so American that when you protest it, people think you are protesting America

When people normalize constitutional violations for their side, they open the door for any side to do the same. -Signs of an Authoritarian

How to Justify Bad Behavior: They didn't say that. And if they did, they didn't mean that. And if they did, you didn't understand it. And if you did, it's not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

A foundation built on hate is unstable.

Politicians selling you a bill by only talking about the “good” parts while hiding the rest isn't honesty; it's manipulation. If a bill affects millions of children and single parents, we deserve to hear all of it, not just the parts that make it sound “beautiful.”

Here’s a thought about same-sex marriage and “freedom of religion” in the U.S.: Marriage in the U.S. is a legal contract, not just a religious act. You can say vows in a church all day, but it’s not legally recognized unless it goes through the government. So, if the government tries to make same-sex marriage illegal based on religious values, that’s not protecting freedom of religion—that’s imposing religion through law. And that directly violates the Constitution (yep, the First Amendment). Religious freedom means you can believe whatever you want. But that doesn’t give the government the right to force your beliefs on everyone else. Let people marry who they love. It's a civil right, not a religious debate.

People say “come here legally,” but then make the legal path feel terrifying. No language help, constant judgment, & fear of deportation—even for those doing it right. Other countries support immigrants with real tools. The U.S. just expects gratitude. We can do better.

I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy. Quote by G. M Gilbert

Ask ChatGPT why so many people compare The Handmaid's Tale to current events. Here's a summary almost anyone can understand.

For anyone wondering about how this would affect the public, ChatGPT has answers and links to factual information. It doesn't seem this would be a positive change...

Power is not controlling other people. Power is controlling yourself. Trying to control other people is the first sign that you are entirely out of control. Controlling others is what weak people think power looks like.

Someone also mentioned that # 4 could be "denialism." Well, tomato/toe-mah-toe, I guess lol.
A fact is information without emotion. An opinion is information shaped by experience. Ignorance is an opinion without knowledge. And stupidity is an opinion that rejects facts.

What is this getting at, I just don't know 😉
If 2 people play a video game, and the winner scored 2 points above the other person, did that person win by a landslide, or was it a close game? What if they won by 1.5%? ls that a close race or a landslide? Asking for a friend.
