Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, to keep you from having to think or study, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you’ll become incapable of creativity or communication. They want to make you a non-person.

Happy Belated Birthday!

I hope you have too 🖤

Why did you have to mention The Hunger Games?! It seems somebody has taken you too seriously... 😅

Congratulations! 💫

She's adorable! 😃

You are so very brilliant - thank you for your kindness 🖤

The books are steaming, or steamy? 🤔

I love her illustrations!

Wow 🖤

Happy Birthday :)

Happy Birthday! 💫🖤

I don't think you can force yourself to be jolly, but you can decide to be gentle with yourself. Maybe make a list of three things that have helped you in the past, and do at least one of them a day until you arrive at your birthday? e.g. hot drink on a cool morning, reading a favourite poem, etc 🖤
