as much as i LOVE girls, i also love boys? boys are amazing and pure and liking them is a wonderful feeling? i never see a lot of posts talking about cute boys so
some boy aesthetic i'm in love with include:

 their tired grins? have you seen a cute boy grin when he’s tired? life changing

sleeves rolled up to forearms is all good and well but also when they have sweater paws in their hoodies or jumpers? Makes the tallest of them seem so smol? i’m in love?
when they run their hand through their hair and it sticks up in places and it looks so good

collar bones

soft pudgy stomachs they absolutely make me melt

when boys get flustered & A++ bonus points if he giggles boys giggling is everything
that small teasing smirk when they say something they know you like

falling on top of them when they’re asleep and they just very softly go oof

when the jump up some place high and sit and lean down to kiss you

cuddles their fucking cuddles man

messy hair
when they try to be tough but they're soft

getting so into a song that they can convince you anything is a Jam

when they get excited over a meal you cooked

kissing the back of your hand

when it’s an unknown number and they put on their phone voice
blowing their hair out of the way when it gets long

watching them talking passionately to someone else and see their expression change 3 times a second

when they prank you and laugh real hard but you’re like “joke’s on you because i get to hear your cute laugh”
boys getting passionate about nerd stuff?? priceless

boys fidgeting, boys playing with objects in their hands or worrying blades of grass or doing anything stimmy??? perfect

boys jumping up to touch the ceiling why do they do that i don’t know
boys. who. read. if i see you reading in public i will probably propose to you on the spot

boys who are good with animals?

BOYS WHO ARE GOOD WITH KIDS

boys who make dumb jokes and laugh at their own jokes. i love them

boys doodling. jsjsjdndjsjxndndkxjxnx
boys randomly putting together a game in like 5 minutes bc they’re bored and getting SUPER INTO IT and all their friends have taken sides and are cheering and playfully shouting insults??
why are y’all always so down to play and have fun and why are y’all so passionate all the time i don’t know but i like it
(for real y’all will just make a game out of the dumbest and most random things and get SO into it and it’s pure)
boys who are like too tall to fit in the ceiling theres something cute about that you look like you don’t know where you’re supposed to be and gravity is confusing and i get you

but short boys? amazing!!
boys lounging on counters or tables or rails or anywhere that’s not meant to be lounged upon? i love it

boys talking about the things they love

boys listening to you talk about the things you love
boys making jokes with their friends that make. no sense what are you saying my friend i will never know

boys smi,,le

smile at y o u (i cri)

that little laugh they do when they don’t know what to say to that insane thing you just said
that innocent smile boys wear after they do something mischievous and are trying not to get caught

boys spouting off facts that relate to the topic randomly in conversation,, and u just look at them like dang. that’s really cool how do you know that??
boys sending you a good night/good morning message every day without fail💛

cute inside jokes with boys that they always bring up or casually mention when you had almost forgotten it

boys writing handwritten letters or poems are just so wholesome and a d o r a b l e
they become friends over the silliest things and the solidarity is real

hugging a boy way taller than you? 😌👌

hugging a boy as tall or shorter than you? also 😌👌

the way they praise you when you help them in something they were struggling with 🥺
singing or dancing together because they’re just feeling it/flexing - immaculate

complicated handshakes? wholesome

when they do something dumb or even dangerous but somehow make it out unscathed and the whole point was to show love to someone
when they do something dumb or even dangerous but somehow make it out unscathed and the whole point was to show love to someone

the way they talk when they’re sleepy, I’ll never get over it whether it’s a toddler or a grown man

when they get speechless
kind stranger boys who can have a good conversation? Angels

collaborating with them and they’re invested in it? doesn’t matter what the project is, the experience is immediately more fun

when they stand up for themselves❤️
when they’ve recently had a haircut and the edges are nice and clean

long haired boys looking like ethereal princes

boys who a c c e s s o r i z e

when they show a side of them that is very different than usual but absolutely charming
when they use funny voices

having them check in on you even if it’s been a long time

when they remember a detail about you and it’s so considerate and you just feel seen

being adopted by a group of boys is literally the best, 10/10 would recommend
boys and their willingness to forever lend you their pockets (and their hands) to keep your phone, wallet, lip balm in.

boys and their awe when you feed them fancy food they haven’t heard of, and the next time,,,,,
they have forgotten the name or can barely pronounce it, but will tell you that it was amazing and name the one ingredient they remember, and you will know and feed them again

boys offering their man protection services (india can....
be horribly unsafe for girls okay) so you and your friends can get up to all the reckless shit you wanna do

i am out of thoughts now, add some more🥺
aa just boys you know they’re so,,, cute i hope every boy who sees this has an amazing day ily ily ily

I've been doing more study on the constant critic(s) that every church leader deals with. Its amazing how a steady group of 2-5 critics can really tax a leader's health and impact them way beyond their numbers. ie, more than 3 feels like 'legion' to a leader.

1/

All vocations face criticism of course.

I wonder if church criticism is unique because:

a) church leaders tend to conflate personal identity and church health more than most.

b) critics falsely think they know about leading a church because they attend a church.

2/

For example, doctors and teachers face criticism. People come into a Doc with diagnosis from Internet etc. But I wonder if attending and serving in a church makes someone more confident that they know when they really don't know.

3/

I've often marveled, and been hurt by how strongly someone has an opinion about something they've had zero training in. They are oblivious to how broad a church is - they think everyone thinks the same.

4/

One reason they think this is because their phantom mob is usually made up of like minded people. A handful of passionate people agreeing, so they say, 'everyone thinks' but actually it is less than 1% of the church.

Ok, as promised, here's a thread of my top 15 non-verbal gestures for effective behaviour management:

1. A much neglected oldie, best used when only one or two pupils are still talking:


2. Wiggle that earlobe when you see a rogue off-tasker:


3. A gentle side to side headshake, which says "don't even think about doing what you're thinking of doing":


4. This is more forceful and vigorous than no. 3. It says immediately desist:

10 Signs of Social Intelligence 🧠

1-Smile
2-Good posture
3-Strong eye contact
4-Fluid hand gestures
5-Let’s others talk more
6-Listens & relates
7-Comfortable Touching people
8-Walk with a swagger
9-Speaks at slower pace
10-Keeps calm under criticism

[ QUICK THREAD ]


1-Smile

How do you feel when you see someone that looks angry?

It’s a downer

No one will want to interact with you if you look pissed all of the time, it’s just negative energy

Plus, smiling is a sign of confidence and boosts others moods


2-Good posture

Don’t walk Into any social setting looking like the hunchback

It’s weak and makes you look low energy

Plus, you’re displaying low status with weak posture

Stand up straight with your chin up & chest out like a god

Walk like you’re proud of yourself


3- Strong eye contact

Ever shake someone’s hand & their eyes are either looking down or darting?

It’s weak & you probably won’t trust them

Or in conversation?

Eye contact while talking means you’re listening and paying *Attention*

Strong eye contact displays confidence


4-Fluid hand gestures

Use your hands to talk & express your points

Don’t stand there like a robot

Using the hands can make what you’re talking about exciting

It can also be used to emphasize

Exciting = positive emotion

Remember, making people FEEL is what’s important

I found myself unable to discuss or see people in a negative light
It was a strange place to be
A whole new realm that isolated me in some way
When I am among people and the topic goes in the direction of Mr. So and So did this evil thing to me or Mrs. Such and such said the

following things about me
I find my skin crawling and my defences up
I don't do this naturally, it just is.
When I am with my team and we're discussing stuff, I dodge all the unnecessary stuff
I don't want to know who is doing that bad thing or who is not performing up to par

I find it nauseating to say the least
Talking ill of people even when it ought to be discussed
A brother caught covid from his girlfriend
They were not married and ought not to be together that way
Someone pointed my attention to it and I felt somehow
Like the person wanted to

force-feed me poison
The person meant well and I should know what is going on but I really couldn't bear the heaviness of such talks
I understand that it is normal for people to share such talks and bond over it
I once worked as a personal assistant to a pastor who will pick a

person and talk about the person with his wife all the way from Lagos to Ibadan and will still chew the person like a bone all the way from Ibadan back to Lagos
He will keep digging out faults and misdeeds like a dog unearthing buried bones
It was a crazy habit I could barely

Multiple friends have been reaching out lately, asking some version of "how did people get radicalized to such an extent?" and, more importantly, "why not us? why was I immune." As someone who's extremism in person, pretty much my whole life, here are some thoughts:

These are EXACTLY the questions we should all be asking ourselves right now. Studies have shown that no 'type' of person is immune to radicalization or falling prey to cults or cult-think. There's no such thing as being "too smart" for that.

So, for starters, many of us were just in the right place and the right time, and didn't get radicalized. That is an important realization. It's important because as we begin to try to de-radicalize our friends, family and "good people" who fell prey to white supremacist thought

We need to start with compassion, or they will just shut down. Understanding deeply that it can happen to anyone is a big part of that. Now let's talk those who were primed for it, more likely to fall into conspiracy thinking and the Q cult.

In this case, those white people who see the movement towards equality for everyone as white people losing (which is true in a way, we have to give back much of the privilege we obtained from those who took it by force or manipulation) were much more susceptible to the rhetoric.

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!

In regards to the #CapitolCoup, I’m in a unique position. I monitored forums ahead of time and then was present for the coup itself.

These are my observations based on what I saw and the evidence that’s been collected so far. I reserve the right to adjust my analysis as needed.

Let’s talk about the organization of the coup first. Seeing some people insist that the coup must have been highly planned and coordinated.

Yes and no. This was a #StochasticCoup. We’ll see little evidence of direct communication between Trump and the insurrectionists.

Within the insurrectionists, there was not one group that executed the storming of the Capitol.

Rather, there were a number of smaller groups working independently towards the same goal. I expect you’ll see little evidence that these various groups communicated with each other.

What you will see is detailed planning and coordination within these small groups.

Then there were the joyriders, those Trump supporters who weren’t directly involved in any plotting but who were more than happy to go along for the ride once the coup was in motion.

After four years, the insurrectionists were carefully attuned to Trump’s messaging.

Every tweet and statement of his was treated as marching orders and carefully dissected for meaning.

It’s why shutting down Trump’s Twitter account was so important.

Sri Gurubhyo Namaha.


After the phenomenon called Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati came another one - Sri Abhinava Vidya Teertha [1954-1989] the 35th Jagadguru. Srinivasa was born on Nov 13, 1917. He was initiated into Sanyasa by Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati in 1931. He was Jagadguru for 35 years.

He was chosen and specifically trained to take over Peetadhipatyam from Sri Mahaswami. He is majorly responsible for the way Sringeri currently is. He built various buildings for devotees, Gajashala, Gooshala etc.

Acharya on conversions:
Once a person approached Sri Acharya that some other religions are trying to convert Hindus and requested Sri AVT to do prevent these conversions.

AVT replied - what do u mean by religion? Religion i.e. mata is related to 'mati' or intellect.
Caste is called 'jAti' which is related to janana or birth.
Ex- breed of a cow. we cannot change its qualities to resemble another breed by changing its name.

Surkanda devi mandir is a famous shrine of Hindus located near Kaddukhal distt of Uttarakhand, 11 Km from the town of Dhanaulti and 35 Km from Mussoorie.
The Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas spread all over Indian Subcontinent and is dedicated to Goddess Surkanda.


Nestled on a Hill at an Altitude of 2700 m approx, the place offers a splendid view of the snow capped mountains, the picturesque scenic beauty that offers an experience of the lifetime.
The Temple build in the traditional Garhwal style exuberates the Architectural splendour.


The origins of the Surkanda Mata Mandir is attributed to Goddess Sati, consort of Bhagwan Shiv who in a rage immolated herself in her arrogant Father Daksha's Yajna Kund bcoz he didn't invite Bhagwan Shiv in the Yajna.


Devastated by the death of Sati Shiva wandered all over the cosmos performing Tandava-The Dance of Cosmic Destruction.Fearing the total annihilation of cosmos, Gods requested Bhagwan Vishnu to pacify Shiva.Bhagwan Vishnu then used his discuss to destroy the burning corps of Sati.


The pieces of Sati Mata's body then got scattered all over the region which were later established as Shakti Peethas by Bhagwan Shiva himself.Its believed that the head of Sati fell here and it was called Sirkhanda Mata Temple before, but with passage of time it became Surkanda.
