I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:

Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Girl with cleft lip adopts dog with same difference: β€˜There’s just a bond’ β€œThey love that the puppies look like them,” said Lindsay Weisman, founder of Cleft Rescue Unit.

Kynlee Rogers, 10, was born with a bilateral cleft lip. When she met Tennessee, a 5-week-old Boston terrier with a cleft lip, it was love at first sight.

β€œTennee is just like her,” her mother said, adding that they happen to share the same birthday, too.

Just read on LinkedIn: β€œI have 260 millionaires and 13 billionaires in my phone”.

I hate that app.
I hate the what the world has become.

Realised I don't want everything to be lost when I leave X - & here's a tweet I'd like to save for posterity.

7 years ago, curled up in bed with grief, I posted this & it went round the world, & the astounding response made me cry with gratitude.

Our magnificent, battered NHS.

I love you, Dad πŸ’™
