These February 23rd readings from The Daily Stoic and 365 Tao both seem particularly apt right now:

A quotation from Cicero, Marcus Tullius:
«
Unchanging consistency of standpoint has never been considered a virtue in great statesmen.
[Numquam enim in praestantibus in re publica gubernanda viris laudata est in una sententia perpetua permansio.]

It is impractical for large numbers of people.
I live in the prairies. There are two "large" cities in my province, each about 250,000 people. Neither of these cities is large enough to have a lot of #specialty retailers - for example, there's no electronics supply house in my city.
It's a 7-hour drive to the nearest city that does have such a supplier.
*Lots* of people have very different #circumstances than you. Try not to order us to live like you can.

Dear Friends, 
Due to #circumstances, #circumcisions and #circles of influence #beyond my #consciousness:
No matter … I have a #solution:
- #Think inside a box (as #taught by #cats
- It is a #dog eat #world for dog eaters-luvvers
- “#Free Your #FREEDOM!” or at least your mind.
Sorry for the #assumptions. We assume you have a mind of your own? We #assume #nobody needs to tell you how to be useful? Any other assumptions we do not need ‘splained?
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish-mice 
Dear Friends of Home Delivery, 
Yes we would all like to have a home delivered BUT I am talking about #Morrisons UK.
Now then … My #delivery, well in advance AND a saver slot was meant to arrive between 6-10 AM
However … due to #circumstances such as just in-time (#agile) delivery. They won’t be here until 9-10 PM. I blame #Amazon who are probably trying for a hostile take over. Again!
Will I cancel? 
They already gave me a pending time for this morning … and then laterfied it …
My two siblings are expecting a meal of #crumble and custard [check] and a #meal. 
#Luckily I am #prepared for the end of the world/zombie apocalypse/American invasion etc.
And so meal available [check] 
This thread is guaranteed vegan, 100% and kind to Animals, US, Zombies and the awoken … 
Dear Friends of the Ice maidens, 
As we know ... or maybe can, there is much in the news of no #importance to our well ... being. How then to be a well of #well-being? 
- eat your #greens (not the political party ing) 
- #exercise the #neurons in your body (#brain included) 
- don't believe the #hype (especially your own) 
#Today due to #circumstances, I will be #celebrating Wim Hoff and #Tummo because of #icy conditions ...

Dear Poor Friends, 
Due to #circumstances/#karma/#brainwashing by bad #anarchists 
I haz:
- No money or credit
- No home of my own
- Not even the #sense I was born with …
Despite that I have my own room, #access to a tiny #garden AND I managed to put in an order for #food yesterday.
How so? 
Difficult to say …
Have a great day, #follow the #kinder path, the #unknown … AND don’t be naughty … 
Dear #Simple Friends, 
#Strangely #few of us are, simple that is. #Straightforward? #Obvious? #True? 
It all depends on:
- #Time, place, company. 
- Age, #hormones, #moon #phase, #sun activity. 
- #Circumstances, #intention, #needs. 
And to #complicate it all we need to #lump or #split, #tribal #align or #reject, #think, #emote, #unload or #soak up …
