If there's someone who has really been inspiring me to be whoever I want to be, it has definitely been Donald Glover. I've been watching pretty much every video essay about him at this point, it's literally the same story every time but told from a different perspective and inspiring me when I need it the most :)

Through honesty, failure, and the people around him, Conan found a new kind of success—one not built on legacy, but on self-acceptance. This is the story of a comedian who always felt like a fraud—& strange journey that proved him wrong.

Keeping Scientology Working is a document written by Scientology creator L. Ron Hubbard in 1965, and usually referred to within Scientology as a policy. It is frequently described within the Scientology movement as the most important policy in the Church of Scientology. At the core of KSW is the mandate that Scientology technology must at all times be practiced in consonance with official Church of Scientology guidelines. [6:35]
[14:00] In Scientology, knowledge means certainty, unshakable conviction.. "that's what drives me is we know we have an opportunity to help for the first time. I'm dedicated to that, I'm uncompromisingly dedicated to that." So doubt means failure and this is reinforced by the training where you learn to maintain presence and eye contact: "Hero Complex"

homunculus-argument 2025-09-05: One of the funniest superpowers would be super speed but no sped-up perception of time. You just take off running at the speed of light, can't see shit because you're faster than light around you, and slam dunk straight into a wall at lethal speed and die.

I get the feeling ppl are changing the way they speak in order to stand-out, this seems off somehow..like over the top pausing to be distinguished...it doesn't come naturally as for Tom Van Der Linden
Joy Vogelsang is such a beautiful name. Happy Birdsong! Such a pity she had such a tragic life 💔 I found out about her in "Nicolas Cage Legally Can't Retire" by Dodford. She was his mom, a dancer and choreographer, and I guess also schizoaffective, I really only learned about how she impacted Cage. What a perfect name for a dancer... It's just! My favorite name now!
I call this piece of art "the chicken and the lamp"! By the way I'm the chicken. That was close enough for me because you never know what this #dangerousanimals might think if you come to close.:-) #lamp #art #shananigans #sheep #dodfordmanor #dodford (at Dodford Manor)
