Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through. Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating. Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience. The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse. The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him. Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will. Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal. He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man. This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt. Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone. This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss. Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull. These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds. At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in. What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back. Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile. Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive. Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms. A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe. He suffered for 6 hours. His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life. His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long. His heart was struggling to pump blood. He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking. His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress. And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin. He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him. HE DID IT ALL FOR US. To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom. Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it. And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going. For us.

After rounds of 67, 68 and 68 Lee Westwood has a share of the lead at LIV Golf Singapore with Jaoco Niemann and he says a win tomorrow would probably be the best of his career: “I guess at the age of -- I'm 53 on the 24th of April, so at that stage, it would probably be the best win of my career. I get asked that question a lot, and I normally go back to the '97 Australian Open beating Greg Norman in a playoff as certainly my favorite win, and then obviously winning at Sun City with my wife carrying my golf bag, I have to then say that that's one of my favorite wins or she's clips me around the ear. “But all of my wins have special memories. But to still be competitive at my age and up there and having chances to win tournaments like this is validation for driving myself on and doing all the hard work and practice that nobody sees and still being competitive, like I say, and having a good enough game to compete against them.” He went on to talk about how comfortable he feels playing in Asia: “Yeah, I've always loved coming to Asia. I set my stall out the beginning of my career, coming to Malaysia and places like that. I went to Japan very early on in my career, 1994, for the Acom International, and then I played Visa Taiheiyos and Dunlop Phoenix and won three Visa Taiheiyos in a row and a Dunlop Phoenix back-to-back with the Visa. I won the Malaysian Open. One place I haven't won is Singapore, so it would be nice to add that to the list. I came close in 2005. Adam pipped me. “I don't have too much of an issue with the heat for some reason. It's hot, but you just deal with it, right? I'd rather play in the heat than the cold. My body seems to loosen up in these conditions, which is a bonus. “I've always enjoyed coming to Asia, and I class myself as a player that's played a world tour all my career. I never really wanted to stay in one spot. I never really wanted to play the PGA TOUR full time. I think I was a member of that tour for six or seven years but I wanted to go and play all around the world and see what the world is all about.” Lee Westwood has won 44 times around the world in more than 20 different countries. He’s looking to add to that list on Sunday in Singapore 🇸🇬 Lee Westwood Majesticks Golf Club LIV Golf

seungmin's super long with stay revised 👤: for a date with stay you suggested gukbap at 11am, going to a cafe to digest, kimchi stew for dinner then after digesting, chicken and beer and after digesting that, a hangover soup restaurant late at night 👤: you designed a course that destroys your stomach. you’re basically scheduling three full meals starting from 11am 🐶: the reason i made it like that was…when i wrote it, i must have been really hungry that day 👤: i think you just wanted to spend a really long time with stay 🐶: oh that must be it. because it’s nice to eat delicious food together with someone you like 👤: but everything is soup 🐶: it is a little excessive. should i revise it? 🐶: at 11, first we go somewhere cool maybe we walk around an aquarium? 🐶: then at 11am, we go straight to hiking without eating anything. we’ll bring cucumbers and eat them on the way up. 👤: and for people who don’t like cucumbers 🐶: maybe one carrot each 🐶: then we come back down and have pajeon with makgeolli 👤: but we don’t get drunk 🐶: just one glass each. after hiking, we’ll be exhausted and won’t be able to do anything. hmm…should we go to a pc bang? if we play games there for a while, it’ll be evening 🐶: should we go on a cruise? since we went to the mountain 👤: wow that’s a seriously luxurious date 🐶: we go to the han river, take a cruise, eat delicious pasta and i'll buy you some steak. then we go home 👤: how old were you when you made this date course? 🐶: i think i was around 24 👤: the energy level is gradually getting lower 🐶: are you already sending me home? 👤: no. but i think that would be enough 🐶: after hiking, i’d probably be tired 👤: and there’s the last train 🐶: don’t worry about the last train. i’ll take you home. i'll see you safely home

Oh finally, Reading comments now Yayyy~ Yay! Aww~ Chan’s working so hard! You’re doing amazing! Chan-ah, keep it up, fighting! Hyung’s rooting for you I was debating whether to take my makeup off But since I already have it on, I decided to hop on live anyway Hahaha Good evening Yay It’s morning over there for you guys Ahh~ good morning~ Mmmhmm~ Yeah that’s right It’s samgyetang for sure, didn’t they say today’s the first day of the hot summer? But we’ve got Yongbok here today, so it’s fine Hmph~ I genuinely feel my stamina’s gotten way better (whistles) Whoa Wanna hear a fun little spoiler? Something’s dropping in exactly nine minutes from now a teaser image So I’ll end the stream before that comes out We went to daechumyon last time, right? Why’d we go there again…? Oh right, was it the spot we visited before? Did we get fish soup noodles? The sofa here is that exact place This is where I took photos for you guys a while back when I said I didn’t wanna work out my lower body Mmmhmm~ “If that STAY from earlier had Leebit hanging off their bag, would you act all buddy buddy with them?” Ehh, I gotta treat everyone equally Though I should’ve at least said hi, lol I just walked down the stairs to the first floor heading toward the convenience store And she zoomed past me out of nowhere, I caught sight of her She definitely saw me, no doubt about it But when I glanced back, she had tons of Bbokari keychains hanging all over her bag So I thought… “Huh, did she recognize me? Did she figure out it’s me?” But it seemed like she didn’t pick up on it at all “I bet she never imagined LeeKnow would be right there” That’s the tea Concert spoilers? Hmmmmm there’s a bit of everything, we’ve prepared loads And after running through the whole set and rehearsing everything today, I’m unbelievably exhausted lmao, like record breaking tired! (whistles ~) Mmm… Rehearsing actually felt really satisfying though It’s just way too hot I swear my shirt was soaked through with sweat after just one run through But the crowd’s energy’ll warm everyone up during the concert, haha Mmmhmm~ Someone asked if the concert’s gonna run around six hours? 😼 Then I’ll dance and sing every hour… Each song’s roughly three minutes, so I’ll chat for the other 57 minutes Sounds fun to me They said the concert dress code’s running core If you don’t wanna wear that… There’s also orange as an option If neither floats your boat Just go for a run and build up your core strength That’s literally what running core means anyway It’s 10:54 PM now Someone asked if we’re gonna spray water during the concert? (pauses to think) I’m pretty sure I’ll be soaked in sweat by then I’m gonna load up way more hairspray than usual to lock everything down tight You guys excited for Stray Kids Festival? So hyped ~~ Festivals just hit different from regular concerts y’know The most exciting spoiler from SKZ’s hints so far… “Extremely tiring” Whoa! But there’s gonna be tons of highlights Lots to look forward to, loads of fun segments too “Oppa, we have a birthday café event right? Since we’re the birthday kid’s fans, can we eat and drink there for free?” Ahh go ahead, eat all you want, send the bill to JYP 😼 hehe I heard after promotions wrap up… wait no, we’ve got another comeback right after the concert tour ends, so it’s gonna be chaotic in the best way We’re gonna be running nonstop jumping from one schedule to the next Time flies so fast, it’s already 10:56 PM I’ve been checking my watch nonstop I gotta wrap up before 11 PM I’m gonna crash straight after I shower Someone asked if I’ve thought about dyeing my hair… hair dye? I’ll consider it, just thinking about it for now Mmmhmm~ I’ll mull it over I think I heard what you were listening to earlier Fruit flies have been driving me crazy lately Not like swarms of them, just the random one popping up every now and then So I bought a fly trap to catch them I still dream every night when I sleep Mhm But up until a few weeks ago I kept waking up in the middle of the night nonstop Nowadays I sleep straight through till my alarm goes off “Has Mr. Cockroach shown up lately?” If that cockroach makes an appearance… ugh It’s 10:58 PM everyone I’m gonna be extra nice today Say a proper goodbye to all of you before signing off Like I said, something’s dropping at 11 PM “How do you catch cockroaches?” Hmph If you wanna live comfortably in that house… Mmmhmm~ I’m actually really good at catching cockroaches “Can I call you LeeKnow?”(Korean informal) Go for it, feels like everyone already does anyway (stream ends)

Technically is dead; long live Technically Some bittersweet news for you all today: after 5 years writing Technically and more than 100 posts about everything from APIs to data warehouses to Facebook DNS hacks, today I am (for the most part) shutting the Technically Substack down… …and replacing it with Technically 2.0, an amazing software product I’ve been working with David Krevitt on for the past 6 months. But first… For a newsletter that started with an innocent tweet while I was bored in Haneda airport, this thing has come pretty far. 70K+ subscribers, yada yada. But you’re here for the story so here it is. It was December 2019, I was traveling before moving to SF to start at Retool, and like I said, I was bored. Late 2019 – what an amazing time to start a newsletter! There weren’t that many of them out there. And then came 2020. Everyone was stuck at home with nothing to do but sign up for more and more Substacks, and talk about them on the internet. Every day, another one of your friends was announcing a newsletter on Twitter. It was the golden era, no doubt, and many people like me combined hard work, a good idea, and the old fashioned “right place right time” streak of luck to build a really nice Substack business. I’ll never forget the day Ben Thompson referenced Technically in Stratechery. I must have gotten 50 texts from friends. Everyone was reading Stratechery at the time…it was like becoming a made man. There was this almost communal vibe in the air with these newsletters. Everyone was reading the same stuff, talking about the same stuff. It was a scene is what it was. But by 2022 things were changing. People were outside again, and had less free time to read newsletters. Interest rates were going up, and people were working more (even in offices). In the paid Substack group chats, most of us were reporting stalling or negative growth, even though we hadn’t changed anything on our end. And with 50% churn rates on these subscriptions, if you weren’t growing you were dying. I’m listening to Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush” as I write this and it couldn’t be more fitting. Although I imagine Mr. Young himself would disapprove of the whole paid newsletter endeavor. What happened to newsletters? David and I call what’s going on “Substack Fatigue” – people are just tired of reading yet another newsletter, let alone paying for one. Newsletters are just not the thing anymore. There are some fast growing news ones focused on AI, but the same story is going to play out in a few years when everything cools down. Political newsletters are fully investing in video and podcasts. Newsletters are not the thing anymore. We rode a cultural wave and the wave is over. You don’t have to die, but you have to adjust. The wrench in this whole story is that Technically was only (very) part time for me. I’m pretty sure at one point I was generating the most revenue on Substack for someone who wasn’t focusing on their newsletter full time. Which is a sick flex no doubt, but was also a huge problem, because I just didn’t have the time or mental capacity to make the big moves required to reverse the trend. Technically started to slowly lose paid subscribers every month, but I was at peace with that. I was entering a new phase in my life, settling down a bit, enjoying spending time on cooking, cocktails, and music. Approaching 30 and feeling really good about everything. It’s OK for some things to be temporary, and I was content with Technically to continue to be useful to people…just not make as much money. But in the back of my head, I always knew that Technically had a lot more potential, and deserved more than I could give it. That there’s no reason this thing couldn’t be a $1M+/year business. I continue to believe that technical literacy is going to be one of the defining social problems of our era, and the progress in AI only makes this even more critical. It should be way more than a newsletter, it should be how everyone learns what the fuck is going on in this digital world. I needed some help. But I had a bad track record of getting people to work on Technically with me. It’s hard to share custody of your child. And I am extremely particular. I’m not always the easiest to work with. Worked with some contractors here and there, but never found a more long term partner. I’m extremely grateful that David Krevitt reached out to me when he did or this paragraph would end here. Instead, after regaling you with my boring tale for many paragraphs now, I can finally share what we’ve been working on since last year. It’s called Technically 2.0. It’s all of the content you know and love, but built as a piece of software specifically aimed at helping people get more technical. No more newsletter – it’s a learning platform now, complete with reading lists, bookmarks, a dictionary, and guided learning tracks. Our goal was to make a Wikipedia kind of experience: click around to follow your curiosity on whatever software you’re learning about. You can sign up on the Technically site ( You’re going to have to pay for it, but if your experience is anything like that of the other thousands of people who already have, you won’t regret it. Enjoy the soothing sounds of David's voice as he walks you through it in the video below. It’s hard to say goodbye completely to something you’ve been doing every week for 5 years. Any readers with their own long running newsletters will understand the odd, para-social relationship you develop with your audience. So I’m going to keep publishing on Substack a little – monthly roundups of the new stuff we’re publishing on Technically 2.0, plus some good sponsored posts. So while the newsletter might be dead, it is also only just beginning (or something). Hope to see you on the other side, ~ ❤️ Justin

One more road to cross…. Jan 20th There’s a lot of ways you can impact the game. There’s lots of ways to impact the coaches and players. If you see me… I’m constantly trying to provide and be a source of serious, positive, encouraging and focused energy for the team. You never know how anyone is feeling. Football has lots of emotions. Lots of ups, downs and your mind shifts constantly. Sometimes it’s good to have a stable voice to encourage you, give advice on how to view a set of circumstances, talk about the mentality and strategy it takes to overcome a situation or you need a voice to tell you….. “let’s go and f*ck some sh*t up” (my favorite). It’s an honor to be back around these coaches, players and fans again. The whole experience has made me shed tears more than a few times. I’m passionate about Ohio. I have a lot of pride and happiness with being from Ohio. I love how these young guys are representing. We have to go win another tough one! I’ll be right there…. Talking, yelling, jumping, pacing the locker room like I’m preparing to play and encouraging these guys. God has blessed me. I have a great life. I get to contribute to Ohio State Football UConn Men's Basketball and @itiswhatitis_talk all while being myself in every environment. I hope this post encourages anyone who’s going through a challenging moment in their life. I’ve been through a lot of shit to get here. It might take time but you can get your life back. You can be resilient. It might take years but you can reach the top despite any and all challenges. I wouldn’t be able to operate, contribute and give value to anything I’m connected to had I not improved myself. Self improvement is the foundation of all improvement. Go Bucks! Thanks again Frank Hyatt.com_ for the photos. These warm my mother soul! She loves to see me happy! Michelle Clarett

“hello moa, it’s soobin. writing a letter while meeting you for the first time in a while feels weirdly nerve wracking and awkward. how has the beginning of 2025 been for moa? i’ve been having fun, fulfilling over half of my bucket list. i went on a trip to sapporo in the winter, went skiing and even got a driver’s license. i went on a trip around korea with my friends and even experienced staying at a pc cafe all night and leaving when the sun was rising. despite enjoying myself so much, there were also days when i endlessly spiraled into deep thoughts. the past three months were a precious time where i realized that i’ve been living my life within enormous amounts of love. i also thought about how my job, where i can learn how to receive love from the people i love, is extremely cool and special. i was also able to learn that resting for a bit doesn’t mean that i’m stopping or falling behind, but that it’s a time where i can recuperate and restore myself so i can go on for longer and go even further. they were small things but i made a lot of memories that brought me huge amounts of happiness. moa, i’ll cheer you on so that 2025 can be a year where you realize and learn a lot as well. 2025 is a year where me and the members, who have returned from a period of recuperation and restoration, are especially anticipating and excited to meet moas with stronger bodies and minds. i made a resolution that i would give and receive love from moa without holding back and express my feelings honestly. of course, this has always been the case but going forward, i’ll do it even more. i may not be a deep sea or a tall tree, but i will become a sanctuary that embraces you, letting you drift freely and a place you can lean on and rest at when you’re going through a hard time. thank you for waiting for the five of us and unchangingly welcoming us today, just like always. and lastly, i want to take this opportunity to say thank you to my extremely reliable members who worked extra hard to make up for my absence. we’ll work hard to become a cool tomorrow x together who repays all your love. thank you 🩷”

This is a message to my Jewish Brothers and sisters around the world. And anyone who stands with us in the fight for the sanctity of the Western world, as we know it. I hope with all my heart all the hostages are returned, that Hamas surrenders, and that the war ends so we can all start rebuilding towards a better future. But abroad - this stands in the way. And we must all be prepared. What you are already feeling abroad...what you have been feeling for over two years now. For being Jewish. Or Israeli. Or a Zionist. I am all three. It will get worse before it gets better and there's a long road ahead. This is a must watch because of the conduct. You will quite literally see a woman suffering a disease of Jewish and Israeli hatred faced with woman who have reason, resilience and truth. Everything that this deranged woman - this Academic staffer at the university - says, the way she says it, the way that she cannot help but continue to say what she says, the way she cannot just walk away. Her threatening manner, screaming, her trying to intimidate, her trying to manipulate the situation vis-a-vis the security guard (who does not take the bait) whilst she is the hater and the provocateur. It is quite literally hatred personified. This is at the University of Sydney, Australia. On a campus ground. A staffer. Jewish people and our allies must understand that this is the product of an indoctrination of hate on a mass scale. And that you have a stake in the battle. And a responsibility. Established and defined words, like the word Zionism, does not exist for these people. They have hijacked the word and made it something evil over the course of years. And now it's exploded for all to see. They have equated the word Zionism with Naziism. False. They have tried to redefine the word Zionism. They have redefined what a Jew is and are running with it. Almost all Jews in the world are Zionists. So they’ve redefined what Zionism is. The world fell for it. They’ve redefined what a genocide is. The world fell for it. They’ve redefined what apartheid is. The world fell for it. They’ve redefined what colonialism is. The world fell for it. They’ve redefined what an actual country is and what history is - there's no Palestine and there never has been a state called Palestine for Arabs - they've just willed it into being from air. That doesn't mean a lot of Jews around the world against a peaceful Palestine one day, maybe. But there is no Palestine. The world fell for it. When you let people take over words and come up with new meanings, and you do not resist that, then this is the first step to losing your freedom. Because we as people start to lose truth, reality - and we begin to lose the glue that keeps us all connected. People stop seeing eye to eye because there is no more truth. And things start to fall apart just like are seeing here. But imagine this example with even more different definitions being warped…within society on many topics. You tear away at the truth and everything starts to fray and this is a physical example of just that. We are the last line of defense in this war of words. This Jewish woman, and those with her, are. They showed up. And excelled. They demonstrated peacefully for their identity. They did not threaten. They stood their ground. They said what they had to say. They took care of their safety where they could. We’re respectful to authorities. They showed strength and resilience and courage. All in the face of someone who is consumed with propaganda, does not make sense, who is filled with rage, who cannot answer simple questions or accept reality for what it is, and must push back and threaten and bully. She has an intolerance that has no bounds. I’m sure they would have engaged in something civilly to talk about were there the opportunity - but as you can see, there was no-one home. When faced with the ongoing threat of the hijacking of all that holds the West together, we have to show up. Push back like this. With leadership and nerves of steal. Everyone can play a part, abide by the law - and push back unapologetically at this hatred. It’s happening everywhere. It will continue unless YOU show up. This is the tactic of the enemies of the West. First, change the meaning of words. Second, break the rules. Third, lose consensus and distort reality. Fourth, lose trust. Fifth, chaos ensues. Six, human destruction. The more we challenge this chaos and the more we take it head-on wherever you are - at work, in your community, with friends, in all sorts of settings - the more the West has a chance in the long run. If you don’t do it, the West will fall. Do not lose the West. Take a stand and fight for it, whether you are Jewish or not. Stand up to those spreading hatred and lies - and fight the good fight for peace, coexistence and truth. - Eitan Chitayat

Is your baby suddenly obsessed with putting things into other things? It’s not a coincidence…It’s a schema! Regular readers of my posts will know I’ve done whole series of posts about play schemas, which are predictable behavioral patterns common throughout toddlerhood. I love writing about them because the more we spot and name them, the less random and mysterious our toddlers’ behaviors become. Rest assured that toddlers aren’t the agents of chaos we sometimes perceive them to be. They’re actually using newfound skills to explore the world in a set of pretty predictable ways. It seems that nobody can quite settle on exactly how many of these schemas exist - in part because after a point we start talking about very subtle nuances between them - but I’ve written about 9 in the past. (Including two closely related patterns: Enclosure, which involves surrounding things with a border or barrier, and Envelopment, which involves covering them up entirely.) Today I’ll offer a tenth: Containment. Check out this wonderful video, shared with me by Alexa Johnson, of her daughter picking up blocks and placing them systematically into a metal mixing bowl. As its name implies, containment involves putting things into (and taking them back out of) other things. It’s commonly seen beginning around 9 months, is preceded by reaching and grasping, and - in researcher speak - is associated with a growing knowledge of the “affordances” (or potential uses) of different objects. (e.g. That bowls, for example, can be used to hold things.) The containment schema - which is helping your child develop spatial reasoning - has its distinct pros and cons for parents. On one hand, it’s a contributor to cleaning up! On the other - if you don’t keep a watchful eye - it could also be why you find your car keys inside a sorting toy (or, heaven forbid, the toilet 🤣) Speaking of the different affordances of objects, BTW, Mom reports that just moments before this video was shot, this bowl was being used for a very different purpose: experimenting with the noise it makes when beaten with a spoon! All parts of a day in the life of a toddler!

Day 6: What a glorious morning in the USA. We've only been in this beautiful country for 6 days and we absolutely love it. It's been a long time since I've seen my wife this happy and hopeful. The overwhelming kindness and real concern and care our community extends towards us pushes us upwards and pushes us forward. Today started slow after our meeting with our resettlement agency was rescheduled 1hr later. As updated previously someone from Spangler Restoration did come assess the mold and we're expecting a full clean by tomorrow. Will follow up, but will keep the mold updates separate from now on because it will not get us down or beat us down nor distract us from all the wonderful aspects of our journey. That said we'll give them hell should they stutter or falter. We will also conduct our own testing with a 5 minute mold test and sample kit that will get sent to a lab proudly gifted to us by American patriots who bought it for us in our Amazon wish list. We met with the resettlement agency and they went over information and asked us how we are doing and how the last 5 days have been. They are too keeping an eye on the mold issue and are also waiting for the next update from management. They explained our documentation and informed us again that we entered approved to work immediately. We have work authorization from day 1. However, some employers are too cautious employing illegals and as such people with our documentation face challenges getting employed before and EAD card and SSN card has been issued. We'll have to see them tomorrow again. This if for signing of consent forms apply as proxy for SSN etc. I informed the agency that I've applied with Rides for Refugees who could potentially hook us up with a donated vehicle which would make the world of difference to be able to travel with my son to appointments. There is still a big journey lying ahead for us. More medical assessments and SSA visits etc. My body is aching from the physical labor after doing the fibre trenches yesterday. I can hardly walk. 😂 I overdid It while shadowing with the ride along yesterday. Apparently it takes about 2 weeks to get work fit. If they contract me I will take the offer immediately and I'll start with training after two weeks of digging fibre trenches. I'm coming from journalism and web hosting office jobs into the sun and I'm totally game for it. Anything to start earning dollars and it's an industry I want to get into. So it's win win and I can't be more grateful for this opportunity. Back in South Africa I would've never have had this opportunity. I can't wait to find out if and when I start. One of you kind people gifted me work boots and cargo pants from ma Amazon wish list. So I'm ready on day one. And another wonderful person on X I'm forever grateful for, gifted me peace of mind, for when I have to go off to work leaving my wife and baby behind, we now have a ring doorbell camera installed this evening letting both of us know of any trouble or visitors while healing our angst and worry, PTSD, we undoubtedly brought with us from South Africa. We have also received the gifted Air purifier this afternoon and it's already doing wonders in our single bedroom where Nova sleeps with us, where it will help ease the odors, it's affects, albeit temporarily, and will help us have a proper rest during the night for the first time until the specialists clean the HVAC. I will be posting pictures and thanking individuals who opened their hearts. I will never forget what your doing for us, for my family, for my son. I have sacrificed my son's past, his Afrikaner culture and to a degree his Afrikaans language for a future in which he can reach his full potential, he will grow up American and we all including my family will fight to protect American values and the future of this great nation, & I am and will always be a proud Amerikaner dad. Thank everyone of you, members of my community, God bless all of us. 🇺🇸🙏

Signing Off 2024 with the Biggest Life Lesson I learnt this year. It was February 2024, My friend from the USA— ( yes one who had bought me a farmhouse ) —was visiting India with his family. We decided to meet for dinner. My 4-year-old son and his 3-year-old daughter hit it off instantly. They played tirelessly, running around till well past 1:30 AM. By the time we wrapped up, we were exhausted. The next day was a Sunday, and my son slept in late, waking up around 1 PM. He ate a little food and, feeling tired, asked if he could sleep some more. My wife and I didn’t think much of it. By the time he woke up again at 6 PM, something didn’t seem right. As he walked into the drawing room, I noticed he was limping. He struggled to maintain his balance, and when he tried speaking, he stammered. My heart sank. Was it an injury from the night before? Or something else? Without wasting time, we rushed to the nearest orthopedic hospital. But the doctor was in surgery, and the wait felt endless. My gut told me this wasn’t just a physical injury. I called his pediatrician, who asked us to come over immediately. At the pediatrician’s clinic, after a quick check-up, the doctor said, “This is neurological. Admit him as soon as possible.” He recommended SGVP Hospital in Ahmedabad. We rushed to SGVP, and on the way, I was trying to stay strong, preparing myself for what could be a long and difficult journey. Like any father all I wanted was for my son to be okay. That night, he was admitted. The next day, an MRI revealed he had Encephalitis - in easy words swelling in the brain. My Son was not aware what he was going through.Looking at the fridge in the Room he thought we were at some Resort for our Holidays.But soon he met with the Reality when the sister came and checked his vain and put a niddle in his tiny hand. It was tough watching this as a father. All I could think about was seeing my son walk again, talk normally, and smile like he always did. In the pediatric ward, there was a small play area. Despite his condition, I decided to take him there. I held him by the shoulders as he tried to play with the toys. While we were there, another boy caught my eye—a chubby 4-year-old with short hair. He was playing with a toy doctor’s kit. He was there with his mom and grandmother. For a moment, I envied that boy. He could walk, run, and play freely. My son, on the other hand, needed me to support him for every little step. I wondered when we would see the day he could play on his own again or will we ever see that day again ? There were Flurry of thoughts rushing through my mind as I saw the Little Boy Playing Freely. To be honest I was feeling bad for my son. Curiosity got the better of me, and I asked the boy’s grandmother why they were there. Her answer stunned me. “He’s on chemotherapy,” she said. “We come here every three months.” I was speechless. Here I was, worrying about my son’s condition, and this little boy was bravely fighting a battle much bigger than ours. In that moment, my perspective shifted completely. Just minutes ago, I had envied that boy for walking and playing, but now I realized how much strength he and his family must have to face something so challenging. That experience taught me the most important lesson of my life: gratitude and perspective. Everyone is Fighting their Own battle. No matter how tough life gets, there’s always someone facing a bigger battle. Instead of focusing on what we’ve lost, we should cherish what we have and find strength in every moment. Today, my son is fully rocevered and can play on his own , and I really hope and pray that that little boy and his family too have managed to cross the Hurdle.

Alan Jackson played his last show last night. He is one of the good ones. A patriot and Christ centered. He has a neurological disease which impedes his balance and ability to play the guitar. He is my favorite country singer of all time. He told stories. He made you not just hear, but FEEL what it is to be a “good ole boy”. He was also never afraid to be bold in his faith. But I have a more personal story about Alan Jackson I’d like to share and it is the reason I have always been a fan of him and his music. Back in 1992, I was going on my first real trip with my mom up to New York to see her sister and my cousins. It was the first time I had ever flown. Our flight left later in the evening, not quite a red-eye, but close. I think it was somewheres around 10 or 11pm. At the time, Charlotte Douglas Airport was way smaller and far less busy than it is now. So me and mom board the plane, and I take the window seat (as kids usually do). Me and mom are chit chatting, and she was doing her best to calm me. See, me and flying don’t really get along. Neither do me and heights - never have, prolly never will. To say I was a bit wound up about the flight would be an understatement. The plane is continuing to board, and there weren’t many folks on the plane. As memory best serves, it was maybe 1/3 full, if that. Everyone is seated, doors are shut, plane is ready to push. Then the pilot comes over the speaker to tell us there would be a slight delay as some folks were making their way to the plane. Door opens up, and 5-6 dudes get on the plane. All wearing stetsons and boots. The 3rd dude on to the plane stood out a little more because he had frills hanging off his coat and he was wearing a white stetson. He was noticeably taller than the rest as well. The first two dudes keep coming down the aisle and end up sitting right behind us. The third dude stops at our row, looks at my mom and me, tips his hat and says “Evenin, folks. How y’all doin?”, then takes the aisle seat right next to my mom. My mom, who rarely ever swore, then says “Holy shit. You’re Alan Jackson”. He says “Yes’m I am, and you are?”. So mom introduced us. But here’s what really sticks with me: Mom had told him I was a bit scared for my first flight. Wanna guess what Alan Jackson did? He asked if it was okay to pray with us. So he did. After which, we spent the entire flight chatting with Alan Jackson. He and his band even belted out a couple songs along the way. It is legit one of those memories I will never forget. I never got to see him to live. But I’d say this experience trumps any concert of his I could have went to. I think something like that speaks more to the man he is than his music. Here he is, just met this kid and his mom 5 minutes prior, and he is offering a prayer to calm my fears for my first flight. So, in closing - I pray Alan can find true peace in his retirement, and I pray that the Father will provide him with healing and assuage his suffering with the disease he has. Thank you for the prayer, Alan Jackson. Thank you for all the wonderful music, and thank you for never being afraid to profess your love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Today my baby brother, Kenji the Mooseweiler, experienced his first skybooms. ⛈️ I'm a Professional Good Girl™ and Big Sis extraordinaire, so of course I volunteered to help him have a positive experience so he could develop his confidence. Actually, I volunteered because I knew there would loads of treats. Developing his confidence is important too though. We don't want him growing into 125 pounds of muscular rottie that panics, cries and bolts every time there's a thunderstorm. The Golden Retrievers down the street would never let us live that down! It wasn't a hard job but it was an important one. If a puppy's first experience with something that's potentially scary is made fun or pleasant, they're much less likely to be fearful or stressed by it. It takes a VERY long time to counter condition fearful things, so this is time well spent. I basically just had to show him I wasn't worried about the noise and that chasing treats was way more important. It can be really helpful if a puppy has an older, confident dog they are comfortable with when they're introduced to a new situation. Letting Kenji see the thunder doesn't bother me at all makes it much less scary. When we first went outside the human tossed some treats around so we were busy sniffing them out when the thunder cracked. Kenji was a little startled by the first 💥 BOOM 💥 he heard outside, which is normal. He nearly tripped over his giant moose paws as he scurried to get closer to the human so he could feel safe while he tried to figure out what happened. He looked at me and saw me munching on a piece of beef liver. Neither the human nor I made a big deal of the thunder. She gave him a quick pat and tossed more treats around. I chased them so naturally he raced to try and hoover them up with his oversized face first. BOOM! He looked up briefly then went back to his sniff and scarf routine. Waited a few minutes more of chasing treats and if he seemed to be pretty comfortable. We went back inside before the storm got too close to us because the goal is not to traumatize him in pouring rain and hail. Some dogs might need to play this game in a few thunderstorms before they get home, but the thunder left for a while and came back in the evening and Kenji was perfectly comfortable with it. Obviously I did my job well, and should have been compensated more. I may need help renegotiating my wage. 🎥 Chasing treats as the storm rolls in #PuppyTraining #XDogs

【📢IGLive: อันโดรเมด้า ชุน 】 #จุงอาเชน #JoongArchen ((( nong horse ~ merman 🧜🏼‍♂️ ~ Paris ))) 🌞: this morning i went to take pictures with the horses. they were the horses at the stable and i have to say—they were absolutely adorable. there are 3 horses in the stable: nong Plew horse and a few others belonging to different characters. some of them are incredibly expensive, around 5 to 6 million baht. the one i took pictures with today though is probably the sweetest horse i’ve ever worked with. i could pet it and it didn’t bite me or do anything “the horse is so handsome isn’t it?” 🌞seriously nobody was paying attention to me—everyone was focused on the horse instead. but it really was adorable. let me stop sharing my screen… 🌞… this was from yesterday’s shoot. honestly i’d never filmed an underwater scene before. yesterday was my first time. the crew kept telling me “Joong you’re really good. you seem so comfortable in the water” normally if actors haven’t practiced beforehand they end up choking on water or feeling uncomfortable. and the water wasn’t even normal freshwater—it was saltwater. when you go underwater your body naturally wants to float back up. so they had to attach weights to help me sink to the bottom… 🌞i’ve been wanting to reveal a secret that i’ve kept hidden for a long time. the truth is… i’m a merman. my mom is a mermaid too. she told me she swam all the way here from the Chao Phraya river i’m kidding. just kidding …… 🌞: you’re waiting for me to go to Paris right? i know everyone wants me to go to Paris. i won’t say too much about it… i probably will eventually but… let’s just say it was close. i’ll use the word “almost” .. the schedule is really important you know. and speaking of schedules please don’t blame anyone. honestly it’s no one’s fault. it’s not my fault and it’s not the backstage team’s fault either. sometimes everything has already been planned far in advance and in the end the schedules just… don’t line up. that’s all it is. i saw some people messaging phi Jack asking “why doesn’t Joong’s schedule match up?” and things like that. but sometimes phi Jack’s job is simply to arrange the schedule. he isn’t the one who can change it whenever he wants. the schedule is handed down to him, and then he organizes it. he helps as much as he possibly can but if the schedules really don’t match then that’s just how it is. so please don’t be disappointed. whatever day comes we’ll still be ourselves. when the opportunity is meant to come it will come. there’s no need to rush. the right opportunity will come at the right time right? “we don’t follow fashion… fashion follows us”. just kidding. lately i’ve been enjoying dressing up more because i finally have time to think about outfits and experiment a little. i actually really like fashion. i feel like my style isn’t very repetitive. i don’t like putting myself in a box. i’ll wear pretty much anything.

yonghwa complimented jihoon a lot and even gave him his ring 🥺🥹 oh jihoon you are so loved by everyone 🐶 when i went to the shoot, i went kind of lululala~ (carefree) it was my first time ever going to fnc.. 🐶 that day was pretty busy… i also had to go to a fansign so i had to be exactly on time 🐶 when i got off the elevator and started greeting the fnc staff like, “hello~ hello~,” from inside, yonghwa hyung immediately went, “did jihoon come~??” 🐶 i couldn’t just go empty handed, right? i’m his junior by like ten years, after all. so even though it wasn’t anything fancy, i bought some things and brought them 🐶 i went in, greeted cnblue sunbaenims, and gave them the gifts. hyungnims all really liked it, and yonghwa hyung really liked it too 🐶 honestly, for me, the feeling was more like, “thank you, hyung, for reaching out to me first,” but to hyungnims it was more like, “thank you for helping us even though you’re busy,” that honestly made me feel really good 🐶 since chances like doing a challenge with yonghwa hyung don’t come around very often, i went dressed up properly, and yonghwa hyung noticed right away 👤 wow, jihoon, you came wearing something seriously impressive 🐶 and when i looked, his outfit was also totally on point, perfectly styled. i was like, “hyung, yours is no joke either” 🐶 the atmosphere during the shoot was really good. all the hyungs were such great people, and they treated me so kindly 🐶 first we did one rehearsal. my eyes were kind of swollen that day, actually. after one rehearsal, one of the fnc staff said, “jihoon, if you could make the movements bigger, like really go all out, that would be great.” so i went all out. but when we looked at the rehearsal take, it felt like it might be too much 🐶 all the hyungs, everyone really liked it. they were like, “this is crazy good~” “this is it, this is it!” 🐶 haha with that vibe, i couldn’t bring myself to say, “can we try one more time?” i was short on time too, since i had to wrap everything up in about thirty minutes and move on to the next schedule. so i read the room and just went along with it like, “this looks good,” “i think it’s fine,” “okay, okay, good good, nice nice~” hahah we did one rehearsal and one take and that was it 🐶 after that, i greeted hyung, chatted briefly about how we’d been doing, but there was this really touching story 🐶 yonghwa hyung and everyone kept thanking me over and over but for me, he’s a sunbae and a hyung i genuinely like, and i wanted to do it anyway 🐶 from my perspective, this was an opportunity i don’t easily get. and with a song challenge like this, you can only ask someone if you really trust them. you can’t just ask anyone to sing, especially since the song is difficult. so the fact that they respected me enough to ask meant a lot. honestly, i was the one who felt grateful. and then hyung kept saying, “thank you so much, seriously” 🐶 yonghwa hyung was wearing a ring from the same brand as my leather jacket.. then yonghwa hyung took off the ring and said, “hoon-ah, you take this. take it” i was like, “oh hyung?? really, hyung?” and he said, “seriously, thank you so much, jihoon. take it, you keep it.” 🐶 i was honestly so moved. it’s not like it was cheap either. so i said, “oh hyung.. thank you, hyungnim” and i tried it on to see if it would fit. i was like, “even if it doesn’t fit, i’ll just force it on, haengnim. even if my blood circulation stops, i’ll still wear it, haengnim” 🐶 i received the ring, and hyung kept telling me, “jihoon-ah, seriously thank you for preparing so well,” “you did really well,” “you sang so well,” and he gave me so much praise 🐶 i don’t usually have that much confidence, so hearing that meant a lot. and then i said, “yes, haengnim, i’ll contact you, haengnim~” “this dongsaeng is heading out now, haengnim” and i went back to my schedule

Long post, please kindly read them. it would just take less than 2 minute of your time. A Midnight Call 26 Oct 2024 It was 2 a.m., the world outside silent and still. I was bone-tired from a grueling day, my head heavy with the weight of it all. I’d just slipped into sleep when my phone suddenly buzzed, vibrating insistently on the bedside table. At first, I ignored it, thinking it could wait until morning. But then it rang again, and something in its persistence made me pick up. “Hello?” I answered, my voice feeble with exhaustion. “Is this Advocate Ashwin?” A man's voice, firm yet urgent, came through the line. “Yes” I tried to shake the sleep from my voice. “This is Shivakumar, Sub Inspector from **** police station” he said, his tone grave. Instantly, I sat up, alert. “Tell me, sir. How can I help?” “We’re on the highway,” he began, voice thick with a mix of anger and sadness. “We found a young street calf, hardly a 5 months old. He was hit by a speeding vehicle, left to cry and bleed on the road. But that wasn’t the end of it,” he said, voice tight with contained rage. “Another vehicle came and hit him again, dragged him some distance, and left him there, barely breathing.” A surge of anger rose within me at the cruelty of it all, but I pushed it down. I had to act quickly. “Sir, please, can you have one of your men stay by him until we arrive?” I asked. “I’ll send a vehicle right away.” The Sub Inspector didn’t hesitate. “Yes, we’ll stay with him. He’s suffering. He needs us.” I quickly arranged for a team to be dispatched. By the time we reached the calf, the compassionate officers were there, standing guard by the frail figure lying on the road. He was so small, barely 4 month old and his breaths were shallow. His eyes, wide with pain and fear, were searching—perhaps for some kindness, some solace. The officers and our staff lifted him with the utmost care, placing him onto a plank, and our vehicle sped back to the gaushala. Our veterinary team had been waiting, ready with bandages and medicine, their faces showing both worry and determination. Gently, they began to examine him, murmuring soothing words, treating each bruise and wound as if it were their own. We all prayed intensely to Sri Krishna to help us recover the calf. Though he was bruised and had torn ligaments, thankfully no bones were broken. But the journey wasn’t over yet. For days, he lay in recovery, eyes watching us, filled with a fragile hope. Slowly, day by day, he began to show signs of strength, taking tiny steps, even nibbling on food placed before him. today , it’s been a week since that call pierced the silence of the night. Our little calf is beginning to stand on his own, determined, with a spark in his eyes that wasn’t there before. His journey has been painful, but he’s coming through it, one small step at a time. In the stillness of that night, a life was saved because of the compassion of strangers—of officers, vets, and everyone who believed in his right to live. Watching him now, I’m reminded of the incredible power of kindness, even in the loneliest hours. This wouldn't have been possible without your support and blessings of Krishna!. But what's in store for the drivers who sped away without having one bit of remorse? hell? or worse than that?

THIS IS SO PURE AND SWEET~~ lom got herself such a fairytale type of love 🫠🫳🏻🫳🏻 #เสน่หาวาโย *SPOILERS* :) . . . "lom?" the beautiful woman called out the name of the person she shared the house with. however, since she had woken up a little later than usual this morning and wayo hadn't come to wake her, when she got up, she found the house empty. after celebrating with wine last night, she was feeling a bit hungover, but not as much as the sickness caused by the local liquor that had made her feel ill before. "where could she have gone? she didn't leave a note" it had become an unspoken rule between them ever since they had to face the rebels that they always inform each other before going anywhere, so they would always know the other was safe. but today, catherine didn't understand why wayo had broken that rule. if she didn't hear from her, she would have to go look around the house or ask the villagers. "blew" "what are the kids doing here?" "come on, let's go" catherine looked at shasha, who eagerly grabbed her hand, pulling her to walk along. the other children surrounded her, leaving no chance to ask where they were going. having been there for a week, catherine had become close with the children, just as she had with wayo. the kids often invited her and wayo to play or to teach them activities during their free time. "where are we going, shasha?" "it's a secret" the little girl giggled and led her to a resting area on a hill. then she instructed her to stop and wait there, telling her to close her eyes and count in her mind. catherine agreed to follow the instructions, but as she was counting, she heard the sound of children running down the hill. perhaps it was a prank. or maybe just their idea of fun. "you can open your eyes now" "lom! what's going on? don't tell me you planned this with the kids" "yes, i asked the kids to help bring you here" wayo smiled as she appeared to reveal the surprise that had been planned. she had come up with this idea the night before and successfully prepared it with the help of the children early that morning. "don't do that—i woke up, and you were gone. i was worried" "sorry, but i've been with you the whole time. i didn't know when to prepare the surprise. i woke up early today to get ready" in truth, she had spent the whole night planning it, as she had felt a deep desire in their relationship that had been there long before anything had become clear between them. but as they spent every day together, their love grew stronger, making it harder to pull away. wayo wanted to make everything clear, to show catherine that she was committed to their love more than anything. "surprise?" "a flower crown. it might be a little crooked and not as pretty as rose's, but i made it for you" "it's beautiful.." "it's not as beautiful as you—but let me put it on you" catherine nodded and let wayo carefully place the flower crown on her head. she loved the surprise so much that she wanted to take a picture and keep it as a memory. she would treasure the effort of the one she loved, who loved her in return. "but that's not all" "there's more of a surprise?" "do you know, in my eyes, you're always a princess, and you'll always be my princess" "a matching ring?" wayo opened her hand to reveal a simple silver ring, two matching bands that she had found from the local area. they weren't royal diamonds, but every bit of their simplicity held pure love. "even though we've only known each other for a short time, we've been through dangerous situations and life-or-death moments together. we've built so many memories, proving the love we have for each other. i don't know if time matters in love. but i've never once doubted loving you—not even for a moment. i've always been confident in the love i have for you, and from this moment on, i always will be. and if you feel the same, there's one thing i want to ask you right now" "..." "blew, will you marry me?"
