Jesse Ridgway: "Down syndrome isn’t a 'blessing'; it is... objectively shitty from a health perspective." This breaks my heart, and I wish you knew more people with Down syndrome, because I can assure you they are some of the biggest blessings. My cousin David has faced some health challenges, but that's never negated the joy and positive impact he brings to everyone around him. In fact, his 40th birthday party had more than 200 people because he's THAT loved because he's loved well.show more

I had so many health issues being obese, although... some of it was out of my control. when the blood results came back I knew I had to make a change. I appreciate the people that were honest with me, others weren’t. This isn’t just about my weightloss, it’s about my health. Health is wealth 🫰show more

Changed who could reply because I don’t want any... replies. I just wanna be a sexy 55 yo thot going through some shit and lashing out. And don’t send me a chat either because the more I chat with people the more I remember that I don’t like people. Well, you can send your boobs if you want, never get tired of boobs.show more

I wish people would listen to seokjin more intead... of assuming things we don't know about just to "brag". he is the way he is because his parents raised him well, he carries himself like that because he is polite and has manners, it's the result of a loving and good education.show more

“I got into this profession because I loved football... and I loved being around the game. I thought it was like you get to coach football and X’s and O’s. But then you realize very quickly that the greatest fulfillment for me is seeing young people succeed. That’s my inspiration to do this,” Marcus Freeman Notre Dame Footballshow more

It feels like just yesterday… when hope lit our... path and we dared to believe we could save this country together. And we did. We fought like lions. We pushed back against darkness. And I gave everything—my time, my heart, my soul—to help unite the American people and defeat the evil that threatened to swallow this nation whole. But no one tells you what comes after the victory. No one prepares you for the silence. For the knives in the back. For the betrayal that doesn’t come from enemies—but from those you loved, defended, believed in. Lately, I’ve been attacked not just by strangers, but by people I once would’ve taken a bullet for. People I lifted up when they were down. Now they lie, plot, and celebrate when I stumble. And yet… I’m still standing. Because I wasn’t raised to repay hate with hate. I was raised to return cruelty with dignity, to answer darkness with light. Not because I’m weak—but because I still believe in something bigger than revenge. To those who have stayed—thank you. Your loyalty is a shield around my heart. I see you. I feel you. And I promise: I won’t forget you.show more

Well my friends, today was a day. That was... nuts! I usually get a decent amount of hate, but I got a couple of extra serving today. I didn’t attack anyone proactively, but I did respond. I stated verifiable facts and some people didn’t like it, because they care more about political ideology than the truth. To them: 😘 Also: 🥱 You look silly. I’m never going to change. Goodnight, everyone!show more

Alex Collins was so special man. Amazing teammate and... a guy everyone was down to kick it with. This man invited me and wifey out one time in Baltimore and I will never forget it. We show up to the spot and AC is no where to be found. We are looking around for him for 20 min and finally I feel a little nudge on my shoulder. I turnaround and AC is walking behind me, drops his shades to his nose and signals with his eyes to follow him. It was so funny and smooth, we forgot he was 20 min late. AC told us he had to be discreet because he couldn’t have everyone knowing he was there. The rest of the night, we found out why. Everywhere AC went that night everyone knew him. Everyone was excited to see him, laughing when he came around and showing him love. You see everyone loved this man and his energy was contagious. To end the night, he hit this dance with all the fans watching him on the dance floor. WHAT A NIGHT and WHAT A GUY AC WAS. Shared more laughs than people know and I’m blessed to have been your teammate my brother. Rest In Peace.show more

🐨: Taehyung has a really deep voice and I... think that’s one of the reasons why he is so loved by everyone around him 🐨: He really is like the lion* who can just sit in the middle of it all *NJ compares Taehyung to a lion here because Sanghoon gave his reasoning on why Lion is the king of the jungle; Lion doesn’t strut around flexing its powers, it’s because it can lie down and just sleep right in the middle of it allshow more

I know there are many people who pretend to... be me, but I assure you that I am the real Jana, no one else has that kind of videos and photos because they are not even on my personal networks, but they say if one day do a live, so that you are sure that I am the real Jana, I send you a kiss 💋show more

He ran to his car from work to catch... the flight Missed the first act but somehow it's better this way. It's just right. Because you get to watch him make his way through the masses Parting the crowd like some neon Moses in a sequin sea He is a magnet and a trampoline The tiny bubbles in champagne Haphazard but precise, he crash-landed next to you Reckless, but never with your heart If he's in, you are too You've begun to feel that Every song before was just a prayer A wish list He is not what you've been waiting for He is more. Why you held out Why you left And nothing aches suddenly He has that effectshow more

"My dad forgot my name last Thursday. He looked... at me for a long time and I could see him trying and I smiled and said it's okay Dad and meant it and didn't mean it. Yesterday I brought Bruno to visit. Dad was in his recliner staring at the window the way he does when he's somewhere we can't follow. Bruno walked in. Dad turned. And his whole face — his whole face — became the face I grew up with. He reached out both hands. He said Bruno's name perfectly. Clearly. No hesitation. He said it the way you say the name of something you have loved so long it lives below the place the disease can reach." He held Bruno's face in both hands for a long time. He talked to him. Full sentences. Things I haven't heard from him in months. He said — "There's my boy. There he is. I knew you'd come." I sat in the corner of that room and I let them have it and I didn't make a sound because some things are not for witnessing loudly. My dad has Alzheimer's. Some days he knows me. Some days he is somewhere I cannot find him. But he always knows Bruno. Every single visit. Every single time. Bruno walks in and my father comes back to the surface like something in him refuses to forget the one who never left. I don't know what that is. I don't know the name for it. I just know that Bruno walks into that room and my father says his name and for a few minutes I have my dad back. That's everything. Some days that's just everything. Drop a ❤️ for Dad. And for Bruno who finds him every single time in places I can't reach.show more

My Son has never been in trouble, to be... honest he's a bit too square, wish hed be a little more jack the lad as I was. Hes not, he's just hard working, diligent, honest and determined to do well in life which he will. It breaks my heart that as he walks back from work, through Nottingham on an evening he has to walk through crowds of this, he shouldn't have to, and me and his Mother shouldn't have to worry as we do.show more

Cause of my perspective on tinubu? Dear Peter Obi,... I just unfollowed you. Your followers have become worse than the bandits and the same government they constantly criticize. They attack people, insult my parents, and try to tear me down simply because I shared my perspective — that Tinubu is better than Obasanjo in my view. I have the fundamental right to choose and support whoever I want. The toxic behavior from your supporters is unacceptable. They’ve become monsters, not advocates for change.show more

Today I drove around Industrial Area, and I accepted... that I hadn’t seen anything yet! It is understandable why some people choose to keep quiet: Because, what more would you say about a government that allows this in its Capital City! Are we left with any sense of shame?show more

Caring only comes from a heart that fears you..... Everything will pass and everything will end, but not everything will be forgotten.. I will never forget you standing by my side during these times when I really need you by my side.. My daughter Julia sends her greetings to you and tells you that she is very happy with your gifts to her.. The pictures below are of some fresh vegetables and fish for Julia. Unfortunately, I bought everything in these pictures on the black market. I paid $600 to $700 for some food. The price of all of this did not exceed $50 before the war.. Everything that money buys is not valuable. My daughter's life and safety are better than all the money.. As long as you are by my side, I will not fear anything.. My friends and loved ones.. After careful examination, we confirmed that Julia was suffering from jaundice Therefore, doctors recommend not giving up canned foods and looking for fresh foods for them. Julia is really getting better and better. This improvement is because of your standing by my side, my friends.. I am very grateful to every person who stood by me and supported me in order to bring happiness to the heart of my child, Julia. I would be very grateful if you would support me to buy fruits and more vegetables for her until she fully recovers My friends and loved ones... I apologize for the delay in updating because the area I go to to get an internet signal in order to tweet has become very dangerous and I can no longer go there as usual.. But I'm here and I'm fine and I'm doing everything I can to be with you. I love you from the bottom of my heart, my friendsshow more

This is called the sonder effect. It’s the realization... that every stranger you see has an inner life as rich, layered, and emotionally real as your own. The person walking past you is not just “a woman in a red coat” or “some guy in traffic.” He has a past, private fears, people he misses, routines he hates, memories that still sting, and plans he has not told anyone yet. Most of the time, our brains simplify other people into background. Not because we are cruel, but because we have to move through the world from inside our own point of view. Sonder is what happens when that illusion breaks for a second. You stop seeing people as scenery and start seeing them as entire worlds. That is what makes it powerful. It does not just make the world feel bigger. It makes you more humble, more patient, and a little more aware of how much you do not know about the people around you. For one second, the background characters disappear. And everyone becomes real.show more

Unfortunately he won't take the room for 5 days... because as he puts it, it's not permanent and he believes he will be back on the streets afterwards as it's happened to him previously he tells me. I've tried my hardest to reassure him that I won't let that happen but he says he's been let down so many times before that he just doesn't believe it and is happy where he is until I can find him a permanent room in a shared house I've spoken with him long and hard over the last week and I've come to the conclusion based on everything he's told me and my research that he's not a British army veteran with a service number he talks of being a mercenary part of the 13 commandos part of the French foreign legion and has the cap badge on his hat. What I do know is he's a 59 year old man with health problems but no drug or alcohol problems that is living in a tent in wasteland. My level of support hasn't changed he shouldn't be in wasteland in a tent rotting away with no family no support in 2025 I'm going to try my hardest this week to secure a room in a shared house the 5 night stay at the guest house is non refundable but it is what it is I just wanted to make sure he woke up on his 60th birthday in a better place. We tried our hardest but it doesn't always work out how you planned it in your head. Thank you all for sharing and raising awareness and thank you to Robert a long time supporter who has purchased a birthday cake for me to give him tomorrow 💙show more

Missing some of the Leafs game but I had... to share my proud dad moment. My son Fischer was born with a bad heart and has had open heart surgery. We were told he may never talk or be able to do any sports because of this. Has a passion for hockey and was determined to play so we put him in u13 and 15 games later he got his first goal! They allowed me to announce it ❤️ #LeafsForever #trueheartshow more

I promise you my last choice, only you. Not... because I am tired of searching, but because my heart has already found its home. In a world full of maybe and almost, you are my always. I choose you in the quiet, in the storm, in the days I shine and the days I break. If love is a road with no end, I will walk it with your name in my breath, and call every tomorrow by your eyes.show more
