#you get what you give

[maaikeatthefullmoon]

Possibly, the reason we’re not getting hair photos is because of the insanity Georgia Tennant has to put up with from rabid David fans.

This is her humour, her stroke of genius. And David’s as well - and likely Michael & Anna’s, too.

This is what you get when you act unhinged - in an utterly unfunny way. When you throw around baseless accusations of whateverthefuck some people have accused Georgia of. I’m not actually completely sure as I don’t read that shite.

Hope you’re happy! This is what you should have learned as a child and perhaps you didn’t. You were probably one of the bullies I hid from in the toilets every day at lunchtime. Actions have consequences.

Updated to add the word ‘possibly’ at the beginning. I was in a pissy mood when I wrote this and should have been a bit more balanced. 🤷🏻

Dumped on

“Many people are like garbage trucks.

They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.

So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.”

That’s the central idea in David Pollay’s classic, The Law of the Garbage Truck.

The next time you find yourself at the end of a demoralizing, exhausting day, think back over why it was that way.

Some days, it’s obvious. We got hit with one of life’s big ones – the death of a loved one, end of a relationship, loss of a job, betrayal by a friend, etc. Things like that will knock anybody down.

Some days, it’s not obvious. We didn’t get hit with one of the big ones. So why do you and I still feel like we got knocked down?

Because we got dumped on.

And it doesn’t take long for that garbage to pile up. For it to become overwhelming.

If you’re seeing a lot of garbage in your life, consider what Jesus is telling us in today’s Gospel.

   “The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you, and still more given to you.”

Jesus is pointing out one of the fundamental principles of life. What we give is what we’re going to get. And we’re going to get back even more than we give.

If we’re seeing a lot of garbage in our lives, you and I have to be honest with ourselves.

Is it really just everyone else dumping on us? Or are we doing the dumping, and just getting back even more than we’re giving?

If you and I are tired of seeing a lot of garbage in our lives – before worrying about anyone else’s dumping – you and I need to stop our dumping first.

This is the higher standard that Jesus is calling each of us to.

If we have any hope of living the positive version of what Jesus is saying. If we’re going to be His. Then we’ve got to stop living like garbage trucks.

There’s nothing wrong with avoiding other people’s garbage.

But if we’re serious about doing it, then stopping our own dumping is the first step.

“Here it is: the new way of living with the world inside of us so we cannot lose it, and we cannot be lost.

You and me, are us and them, and it and sky. It’s hard to believe we didn’t know that before.”

Why are you acting like Armie is this pure angel that everyone is attacking with no reason? He's a grown ass man that keeps on acting stupid, at this point he doesn't deserve anyone defending him.

Hello, Anon:

I defended Armie Hammer against the calculated misinformation circulating on social media during the smear campaign perpetrated by his ex-wife, which culminated in his vindication in the press with the Airmail article by James Kirchick and the in-depth analysis of the scandal by HouseInhabit, with the help of research and evidence by House of Receipts. Period. End of story.

I don’t think he’s a saint by any stretch of the imagination, and should he happen to choose to do something stupid, I certainly wouldn’t defend that behavior.

While people can’t always be relied upon for consistency in their values and behavior, the truth is immutable. The truth is what I’m truly interested in defending. That’s it. That’s all.

Because I can’t find any actual facts amid the ambiguous complaints in this new goat rodeo to fully understand the situation accurately enough to comment, I’m mystified by your assertion, Anon, that I’m defending him (against what, I wouldn’t even know.)

Until such time as the facts and evidence surrounding this new situation prove that this is a case worth defending, I will continue to ignore it. As we all should.

Thanks for your question and comment, however erroneous. 🗺️🧭🔀🤷🏻‍♀️🤡🎟️🎪
