Sending memes, links, and videos to others isn't trivial. It signals that you're thinking of them and want them to share your joy.
It's known as pebbling, based on penguins gifting pebbles to potential partners.
Pebbling is an act of care. Every pebble is a bid for connection.

Being in a bad mood is not a license to be unkind. Being sensitive is not an excuse for being abusive.
Respect is a social responsibility. Treating it as optional reveals a lack of concern for others.
A mark of character is maintaining civility when things don’t go your way.

There have been at least 49 mass shootings in American in the first 46 days of 2024, as documented by the Gun Violence Archive.
It is the corrupting power of NRA money over one political party that stands in the way of meaningful gun reform.

Don’t underestimate the value of sitting quietly with someone when they’re in pain. Let them talk. Listen to hear. There is profound healing in someone experiencing your care by offering your presence and withholding your advice.

Today is the first day of school for many of the towns surrounding UNC Chapel Hill.
And they are on lockdown.
Kindergartners on their first day of school, huddled and hiding in their classrooms.
Not a drill.
Not an exercise.
An actual lockdown.
Because of a shooting on the college campus nearby.
Because.
Of.
Another.
School.
Shooting.
If we are willing to force our kids to accept that gun violence in school is a reality FROM DAY ONE…
Then we are failing them.
Then we HAVE failed them.
Is that who we want to be?

Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years.
Maui saw the deadliest US wildfire in a century.
Canada wildfires just forced the entire city of Yellowknife to evacuate.
This deadly Midwest heat wave could set hundreds of records.
We are in crisis.

CEOs keep pretending they can't afford to pay workers fairly while they rake in millions off of workers' labor. Don't fall for this illusion of scarcity.

Taking a job based on financial security isn't a selfish decision. It's a responsible choice.
Providing for your family is an act of care. Alleviating your anxiety is an act of self-care.
Prioritizing stability is not a cause for guilt. It’s a foundation for well-being.

It’s not about saying yes to every opportunity and hoping it eventually leads to your dream.
It’s about saying no to everything that burns your energy and staying open to the things your intuition knows are worth your time.

I love how to these people "WOMEN 👍 "
...automatically translate to "MEN 👎"
The fragility/misogyny is off the charts. 😂
Cheers to Ilana Glazer and Miller Lite! 🍻
Miller Lite said to Bud Light, “hold my beer,” and decided to create a new ad campaign straight out of early 2010s “I hate all men” feminism to sell a drink to customers they hate.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Miller did not "create a new ad campaign" ad in response to the Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney ad, but before it:
"the Miller Lite ad aired before Bud Light’s partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney"
