Getting through pain with humor I share a personal experience with kidney stones, discussing how these painful episodes serve as powerful reminders to prioritize our health, listen to our body's signals, and appreciate its resilience. #KidneyStones #Pain #Self-care #Health #ItHurts

Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today? Remember that tomorrow is not promised. I used to be an expert in procrastination and I worked very well under stress, but it’s that same stress that led me to a heart attack last year. #Procrastination #DoItToday #Now

The guy told the country his new ballroom would not "interfere" with or "touch" the existing building. It was a promise about respecting the "People's House."
What have we here? This is a deliberate demonstration of flippancy toward the American people. I am outraged, and every American should be.

Imagine receiving a social media post that says that you should be deported or that you should get AIDS. What would you do? How might you respond? Perhaps this will inspire you. #BadBunny #BadBunnyPR #NFL #Grateful #Peace

Immigrants pay taxes and get to go to school. That’s it! Here are the facts on who is eligible for services in the US. Facts matter, the rest is distractions. Be informed, ask questions!

What needs to happen is every state needs to indict her because the president is going to pardon everyone in his cabinet. But he can’t pardon them from prosecution by the states.

Well, it’s horrible that someone is saying that it came from you and Liz but I gotta tell you whoever wrote it. It’s pretty damn good.

I hope that states can press charges against the Attorney General and others in the administration who had their fingers in this. Because state charges will not be able to be pardoned by the POTUS

It’s time for us to reclaim our nation. “We the people of the United States.” How badly do we want it? Are we willing to put aside our differences and unite based on our shared values: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the understanding that all men and women are created equal under God?

Why is it that we often find it necessary to express our opinions about how other people experience life?

The Gratitude Poet, Mark Cady-Archilla @thegratitudepoet.bsky.social · 24d

I’m beginning to wonder when “We the people” are going to say they have crossed the line and take back control. I think he and Hegseth got a loud message in the deafening silence of our military leaders. And let’s be clear they’re not his military they are ours.

We all have a tendency to tell others or suggest to others how they should handle a situation or conduct themselves. But before we do, so let’s check to make sure our own armor doesn’t have any cracks.
