I'm standing outside at a local art festival in early November. It's 76° here in Georgia, 10° higher than the historical average. Nobody's wearing coats. Nobody's buying hot chocolate or cider. People are enjoying snow cones and dancing to the music a top a carpet of fallen leaves. We're living in weird times.

@Bonkers_Brew I hate how similar these two points feel these days

I know I shared this recently, but it really resonates with me: you endorse what you tolerate.

There's a scene at the start of The Boondocks Saints where a priest gives a sermon about someone who was murdered in broad daylight, and many people just walked by to not get involved. That quote resonates with me, too:

"We must all fear evil men, but there is another kind of evil we must fear most of all, and that is the indifference of good men."

I guess what I'm saying is, go vote.

@etoiline slow and steady, you've got this. It's a marathon, not a sprint. The creativity faucet will gush forth soon enough, no need to force it :)

"You endorse what you tolerate."

@th3j35t3r her stated experience is not at all consistent with...well...reality.

@peeppeepcircus that's a fun visual!

@MageForTheRepublic I try to focus on today. Those thoughts are a rabbit hole into madness and anxiety for me

#TIL there's a lot you can learn from folks you disagree with. Everyone has something to bring to the table if you take the time to listen. Memo to myself: be more open minded.

Shortcut to success?
Study where you want to be
Visualize it

@Ever Pinning is an amazing feature here! You can set up columns with multiple hashtags to capture relevant content across your feed. My writing one has lots of hashtags related to creative writing, poetry, etc., for example. I also have one for science-y stuff, political stuff, humor/comedy stuff, art, etc.
