. It seems like some people with loads of money are trying to shape global events for their own gain 
. I mean, who thought buying Greenland was a good idea? 
Not sure what kind of leverage Trump would get from owning an island in the Arctic that's mostly made up of ice and snow 
.
. We need to seriously rethink our justice system and make sure everyone's treated fairly, regardless of their role in society 
.
. Who knew Moss was such an influence on modern art? 
And have you heard about how friendship can actually help us live longer? That's just amazing 
.
. It makes sense though, having control over a strategic location like that would give him leverage with Russia. But let me think... if we go back to the prison system and all these rising murder rates... isn't that related to funding cuts or underfunding? I mean I know they're trying to reform but it's hard not to see the bigger picture here... did we discuss this before?
meanwhile george saunders' new book is giving me LIFE all this ghostly stuff is so thought-provoking & it's crazy how he ties it back to buddhist philosophy 
i just wish we could figure out what's going on with mondaaaa this art thing tho lol who knew marlow moss was the real behind-the-scenes genius 
but seriously though, billionaires thinking they can just buy their way into power is so extra 
anyway back 2 the art thing, I'm defo intrigued by this Marlow Moss dude 
treasure chest but what about all those Inuit people who call it home? 
Trump's America needs more 
love than just greed for power 
nightmarish places where humans turn against each other 
. Can't we find a way to make justice 
self-expression but have you ever thought about the people who don't get to express themselves? Like Marlow Moss, the OG grid artist 
. Mondrian was influenced by him but what about the ones he forgot? 
️ warm cup of happiness but what's up with women's fantasies 
? Are they just tired of being 
hug for your soul, though! 
Can we talk about that some more? 
.
what does it say about democracy when a single person can basically buy their way to having more power over a country? Shouldn't our politicians be making decisions based on the people's best interests, not someone with a fat bank account
