2/ Sherrilyn Ifill knows what the Washington Times is, folks. She didn't have to rely on them. It's been reported everywhere. She just happened to quote post this one.

Here's the quote. I don't post fake news, nor does she, FFS.

@farah There's no "end". Remember that. You don't, one day, "achieve enlightenment" (if that's even a thing; debatable) and then you can just lean back and rest. It's work, and the work doesn't stop.

But just as impermanence teaches us that a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts, so too does continual work teach us that a goal isn't a good idea because it's achievable, but because it inspires us to continue to try to be better.

I might normally use a phrase like "be better today than you were yesterday", but even that is unrealistic and sets one up for feeling like a failure.

It's been said that every choice you make is a vote for the person you want to be. You don't have to win all the votes, just most of them. Whenever you can, make the better choice. Each better choice moves you in the right direction.

Try. Aspire. But forgive yourself. Then try again.

Look at me, trying to sound like I'm all that! 🤪

If small children behave a certain way when scolded or disciplined out of bad behavior, I need you to get real data on how adults behave before you start giving advice on actual geopolitics in 2025, based on kids under 12.

Catch up to the conversation or go back to training children to be better adults. That's where you have expertise.

It is batshit af to assert you have anything helpful to add to ADULT CONVERSATION if all you contribute is about children instead of the timely issues at hand.
