Kahless tells us time is the one enemy no warrior can defeat. In the end, it is how you spent your that time matters most. Spend it being honorable, strong, and kind. Do this and time will not be your enemy, but your gift to those who will be glad to have known you.

This is both accurate and helpful -- sharing information is good, spreading despair isn't.
If we make our posts constructive and inspiring (even if the inspiration is just to work against the newest evil), we can contribute to someone's fierce resistance and not to someone's doomscrolling! 😃👍

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.
I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Yes, it's a skit -- but for 2 minutes, please turn off your brain and pretend it isn't. Your brain needs the rest, and so do you. :)

One of the world’s largest industrial heat pumps is coming to Boston.
A 35MW system will use energy from the Charles River and deliver steam to heat more than 70 million square feet of buildings across Boston and Cambridge — hospitals, schools, homes, and businesses alike.

I want to thank and honour the person who harvested the potatoes I ate for breakfast, for using their bodies in exchange for very little money. May they be blessed abundantly.

To derive pleasure from hatred is to revel in dishonor. A true warrior knows that hate is a source of misery, not of glee. Resist those who take delight in harming others, know hate when you see it, and may you forever feel the righteous joy of standing against it.

I will try to do a tweetorial about this paper when I have more energy but this is really important data. It looks (tentatively, preliminarily) that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines might significantly enhance the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy (subject to many caveats).
SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines sensitize tumours to immune checkpoint blockade
Nature - mRNA vaccines targeting SARS-CoV-2 also sensitize tumours to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Bravery is not the opposite of fear. It is pushing through and doing something despite the fear. We have all done this, perhaps often, but never recognized it as bravery. Know that you are brave, know that you can overcome your fear. Know that you have done it before, and you will do it again.

The brighter a solitary light shines, the starker the shadow it casts. Encourage the light you see in others, to join your own, and watch the shadows retreat from your radiant glory.

Violence and hate are easy but self-defeating, since they also destroy the wielder; sacrifice and compassion are unglamorous but build the only true strength.
