Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

It may be OK to ask for help. But I have yet to find help that is actually effective. The darkest moments always happen when I am alone. (YMMV, naturally.)

This is Kathy. She was overweight and had torn ligaments in both back legs. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover BOTH of her surgeries, totaling $10,000. She has since lost 20 pounds and found a forever family ❤️🩹

Don’t know about Glasgow, but in Finland, during the first half of the previous century, the work of the women ceramic painters was vastly under-appreciated. Men created the form of the ceramic, and that was the only thing that mattered. Grrrrr.

I have always maintained that evolution’s second greatest mistake was to strip humans of their tails. I appreciate there are logistical obstacles to #BringingTailBack, but if we can build pyramids and make atom bombs, surely we can correct a few evolutionary mistakes along the way.

This is pragmatism, not altruism. Both IBM and Amex are companies with shareholders’ long-term financial interests at heart. Those two little hyphenated words are key for building common ground across government, business and society.
💥 BREAKING: The Heritage Foundation withdrew its anti-DEI proposal to IBM for shareholder vote today, originally submitted for vote at IBM's annual meeting. Why Heritage withdrew its anti-DEI proposal is unknown.
Earlier today, shareholders at American Express voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal.

George is among the wisest cats I’ve met. (A white floofball Ollie is perhaps the wisest. But because he is a blonde, gentle boy, he frequently gets dismissed as an airhead.)

You are worthy even when you don't feel it.
You don't need to do more to be enough—you already are.

My first Acknowledgement of Country as an Aus citizen. EnergyCo does them proper, and I was terrified. It’s the hardest piece of writing I’ve ever done.
Minor tweak to language needed, but otherwise it passed QA by three fierce and fabulous Aboriginal women.
