"if the current system won't allow that, then it's broken, and I will work with you to identify the problems, and build a new system.
I'm under oath, and fiercely loyal to one thing: serving you as my constituent, through truth, and truth alone.
nothing will stand in the way of my promise."

it reads:
"I will always vote for the right thing that protects everybody.
I will always hear you when you speak.
I will know you and your story personallyโthat's my promise.

imagine we had elections tomorrow (on any level), and you were up to vote.
when you go to vote, there's a candidate on the ballot from a party you aren't familiar with.
there's also a card, with their name, photo, and a short bio.
then, there's a section that reads "Political Platform".

some of us weren't made to burn the ego to ashes.
we were meant to forge it into fucking gold.
to make it our sacred steed, our sparkle pony...
not our saboteur.
to tame its wildness with love,
not whip it into submission
with false purity.
men cannot force women to love them.
but the ones who surrender their fear and choose to *become* love?
they're seen.
they're felt.
not just by women,
but by everybody.
they're men who are healed, and know who they are.
the whole world knows who they are.
code with coherence, y'all.
your users feel it. ๐
we don't just use technology.
we *entrain* with it.
software is a mediator of human attention, emotion, and ultimatelyโbehavior.
our own emotional states subtly influence the way users feel when they interact with our code.
(we feel this ourselves when we test and feel compelled to make changes)
but no... this shit ain't normal, but we've unfortunately normalized it.
take back your power. โฅ๏ธ
it means turning inward to ask yourself how you're REALLY feeling, what you're REALLY thinking... and what could use that energy instead, but as positive energy.
THEN go find something funny/light, feel that joy, and direct it toward something good in the world. (yourself counts!)
left unattended, that grief, anger, sadness... it will eat at you.
it will poison yourself and others.
that doesn't mean jump right back into scrolling to find something better, either.
it means dropping what you're doing completely, and walking away entirely to do refocus yourself.
the good news is:
it means you're still human. ๐ซถ๐ฝ
we need you, AND your feelings.
BUT
you NEED to take a sec to breathe, ground yourself, and transmute that negative energy.
the energy drop is visceral, energetic, and has a bigger impact on you and the world around you than you even recognize.
you know what I mean:
you're feeling good one minute then BOOM
your feed pops something up that shocks you.
you feel it in your gut, in your heart, in your throat, in the depths of your soul.
i just had it happen with a random ra1d video, after laughing at silly memes.
it happens to everyone. ๐ฅบ
friends, a loving reminder that the joy-to-trauma (and vice versa) slingshot you experience while scrolling is a VERY real thing.
you're being slapped in the face without your consent a hundred or more times a day while scrolling social media.
