I love you I swear I do But I hope you would stop with the guilt trip, to be honest too I don’t want to upset you I don’t see why to But you’re thinking of the time you were a girl too We don’t agree on the same things though, I don’t understand why won’t you I know you sacrificed a lot for me I know I swear I do But when we don’t agree This horrid feeling bites at me  This, this being of atrocity spreads through me like I’m the most awful human to grace Earth I want to please you But I also want to be me You add this unbearable pressure to my soul But everyone’s born with one like you But at the end of the day I still love you     - Nada k

Summary: George and Lennie arrive at the ranch bunkhouse and are greeted by Candy, an aging "swamper" who has lost his right hand. George and Lennie are assigned to one of the grain teams, and George berates Lennie for having spoken up. Candy leaves to prepare wash basins for the men who will soon return from the fields, and George warns Lennie to steer clear of Curley, as fighting the "bastard" will likely cost them their jobs. Curley's wife, a pretty, heavily made-up woman with a nasal voice, appears and flirts with the two men and Slim, the skilled mule driver. Slim tells her that Curley has gone into the house, and she hurries off.

The men are joined by Carlson, another ranch-hand, who asks about Slim's dog, which has just given birth to nine puppies.  Carlson suggests t...

And perhaps because the term is so young, we talk about it like it's a very recent phenomenon, something that we can just turn on and off with a switch. But social media is much deeper. It began the day our ancestors began wandering across the continents 100,000 years ago, and has been expanding in lockstep with our dense networks of transportation, energy and communications that connect all the continents, nations, cities and communities of the world.   Social media has withstood every pandemic, every world war, the Crusades and financial crises. And if you look at the continuous expansion in the flows of people, of technology, of capital, of data, you can only conclude that social media is just getting warmed up. So let's not even begin to debate whether or not globalization is our future.   Do you remember the so-called anti-social media protests of the late 2012s and early 2013s?
