Jack of random Facts #1: "We dont talk about babies. No, No 🎶 " AKA "Evading Evolution's Essence!?" ——— Nobody mentions the reproduction bit of evolution. You know, the part where evolution actually happens. Curse Our Comfort Culture TL;DR: Evolution is actually about babies. See: "Idiocracy."

I usually play nice and be civil, but I'm gonna keep it a buck. Thr best people can do, if they actually want to help is vote in different republican candidates. tell republicans voters to nominate in different candidates. If you can't do that, you're part of the problem. #StopBeingStubborn

Trump and Republicans will kick off their midterm convention today, and you can bet they’re going to spend a lot of time outright lying about Trump’s record. Here’s the truth.

You don't have to use this one. Credit monitoring is a free service. in fact, I don't think I can pay for this particular app in any capacity. capital.one/creditwise4 I've been planning long term, financial stability, even being disabled. I will not turn down information.

Sometimes, living in section eight is a b****. i get income based housing. i'm like, "you know what worth it." Do I go to a better apartment or rent a home, after this phase of life. suppose I'll have to get into my career first.

(Prev…) , knows that I just randomly be looking stuff. I was looking up what each color means. Thank you so much. I'm a heteromantic & asexual. TBC "sex indifferent." I learned "Anti-" is avoided, so the prefix "A" is used both for "inbetween for and against"as well as "anti-"

That transcends the pride community into wider USA culture though. I was looking up colors for something like heteromantic + asexual. Instead I wound up learning something interesting. As an aside, this is why I don't like tags. what categories are a combination of tags anyway. #blog #pride

Fighting tooth & nail for years *as a collective, DOES work. That's why the phrase "What Can I do by myself" annoys me so much. Not much so don't do it by yourself. EZ. What can you do right now? Walk one step toward a goal. #UnifiedMight #ByYourPowersCombined

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more

Slacker's PJs №7: Got it. ————— Can or Can't is the Strength of the body. Should or Shouldn't is the Honesty of the mind. Will Or Won't is the Willpower of the heart. -The Slacker 09/09/2026 That is all. #PublicJournal #Blog #SmallPhraseForBigIdea #SlackersPJs

Okay, Matt Youngberg and Francisco Angones. When was I going to be told that their remake of DuckTales is just Disney's '90s lineup? I KNOW they watched 90s Disney. "Insert Goliath from Gargoyles into DuckTales, because yes" levels. The ending was spoiled and somehow it still shocked me. How‽‽‽

What did you guys think Rogue keep Lex up all night with? Icm betting pictionary! Hope he didn't lose his jewels. Hard to get those back once she has a grasp on 'em. (This crossover has me losing my fucking mind, I swear.) #Sonic #JusticeLeague #Comic #Crossover #Lex #Rogue #TheSlacker

Slacker's PJs №6: Info we will apply more often MORPHEMES Morph-𝘦𝘔𝘦𝘴 are NOT my 3rd favorite painkiller. Morphemes are parts of a single word. Prefixes: Before of the root, ie "re." Root: standalone word that can have, ie "act" Suffix: After the root, "ion" Re+act+ion = ReActIon! #PublicJournal

This kinda thing is why a hobby I enjoy is expanding a skill. Especially ones I do all the time, like Speaking English. Also why I am learning languages "just cause." Just fun. This also makes ot easier to figure out new words.

Slacker's PJs 2026 №5: Compassion and Empathy are not the same --- Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Compassion: Sympathetic care and concern for the suffering of others. Compassion allows concern for suffering that we don't understand. THAT is the difference.

Empathy and Compassion synergize. Understanding the emotions that suffering has caused is a definitely a boon. I have people who care & don't understand. They are worth infinitely more than everyone who has understood and not cared. Compassion for suffering puts in work. #whocares #publicjournal

The Slacker's PJs. № 3: 🏋🏿 Physical, 🧠Cognitive, & 🥹Emotional Health (& fitness). For self care treat Health & Fitness care different. Health = Is Stable Fitness = Is Trained We care to manage our Living Space, Car, & Clothes, they cost money. Let us maintain our body, brain, and emotions.

🏋🏿 My Physical Health with Sickle Cell via meds, nutrition, rest, exercise, and professional insight. (Sickle Cell hematologist) My Intellectual health with ADHD & ASD-L1 is kept stable via meds, speaking on observations 👁️ 👂🏿 👃🏿 ☝🏿 simply searching an event before spreading a story. My...

My emotional health with type 1 bipolar via meds. Socializing with people IRL, sans internet. Avoiding comment sections. Embracing awkward silence as a response. Helping others. Embracing the wins I've had. Embracing the losses I've had. Embracing that both is always an option. #health #growth

The Slacker PJs № 2: "No is answer" When we get "no" to a request we don't say "thanks anyway" and move on. We say they "weren't listening" and then an argument happens. "No" isn't rude. We become rude when we get a no. If no is going to mean "no" we got be better about that.

So I take ownership of my reactions to stuff. Way easier than convincing people to change what they give me to react to. Very empowering. No longer dependent on others for my internal stability. TL;DR: Our reactions belong to us. July 2026 #Slackers #personal #journal #

Slacker Jack's PJs №1: I often reflect on how to communicate ideas better. EX: I take on tasks & challenges that annoy me. I got to rest often. 😅 Explaining why, I often said "because I like to." I'll start saying "Beating stresses I choose bleeds into beating stresses life chooses for me." 🥊

TL;DR"Most don't rise to the occasion, Just fall back to what they've practice." So I practice staying focused while stressed. ––– P.S. Stay locked in on our goals, or we might get locked out of our destiny.

I keep this in mind when giving advice. It's why I don't give advice at all sometimes. It’s easy to remember this for myself. Giving this to others takes voluntary effort and fair consideration. I know what I have to give. I don't assume what others need or want. I ask.
