ngl having people that love you is one thing. But having people who still love you when you’re a burden, when things are a mess, when you’re in the wrong…those are your people. to truly be loved is to still be loved when it’s inconvenient to love you.

one thing people need to understand about extremely kind, nice, and loving people, is that their other side is just as extreme. it’s the hell they survive that makes them gentle. dont mistake their self-control for weakness. the beast in them is sleeping, not dead.

a therapist on tiktok said…. “no one notices your sadness until it turns into anger, and then you're the problem. healing is realizing you became the angry person because no one saw your sadness first” felt that.

Taxpayer funded services are missing out on £45 billion in productivity savings due to old tech – enough to pay for every primary school in the UK for a year. To tackle this, @peterkyle will announce ambitions reforms this week to put AI and tech to work for the public sector.

Today seems like as good as any for a reminder that, on that day in 1985 when Bono sang Bad, Freddie also sang Radio Ga Ga from the same stage. #U2UVSPHERE
