Acting like “patriots” and “activists” are two discrete/separate categories is a disgusting manipulation of words.

How do I work with it to turn it down? 🥲

Have to agree, I am no stranger to relational trauma and my Sun is in the 8H 🙃

Some people aren't for you. Some situations aren't for you. Some jobs aren't for you. Some recovery tools & philosophies aren't for you. No shame.

"Radical acceptance" doesn't mean we stay in places we don't belong. It means we gotta start somewhere to get somewhere.

I’m what’s known as a quadruple threat: tits, trauma, thighs, and tattoos

I’ll expand on this later but…

What if the story of Adam & Eve is the story of the expansion of our cognitive light-cone* as human beings? A story of expanding awareness along with its emotional fallout and behavioral consequences.

If you ever wanna visit Berkeley, I’ve got a guest bed, and we’ve got food from everywhere around here. 😋

Understanding trauma & neuroscience & hormones is important-- but not as important as communicating to our nervous system, our "parts," & our inner child that we will not attack, shame, or abandon them.

That we're on their side. That we have their back-- come what may.

It's not that psychological "autopilot" is aways bad. We need patterns & habits to function without getting overwhelmed.

It's that trauma survivors' "autopilot" was programmed by bullies & abusers-- w/ no care for our real interests, goals, values, or worth. That's the issue.

My mother IS my mother and I don’t associate with her so 🤷‍♀️

When moving, I line the bottoms of all my boxes with books. I’ve learned the hard lesson too many times of not packing “book boxes”, aka back-breaker boxes. Sending vibes to make all your stuff extra light! ✨

This is the way! Since my birthday is at the end of a month, I just declare the entire month my birthday, waking up every single morning for 31 days saying Happy Birthday to myself. 🥰

I like this pose. It’s the opposite of a memento mori. His skeleton is reenacting one of one of his life’s happiest moments. Death can erase us. With time it can bury all memory of us, but it can never negate the reality of a life well-lived.

Oh great, now I have research to do. Thanks. 😂

I had a neurologist (many years ago) say I had myoclonus (very casually at the end of the appt), and what I call my tics seems to fit a quick search description of myoclonic seizures and I’m like…wait…isn’t this what my body does every single day? 👀

Andrés Spokoiny i WW @Spokoiny Follow No, Mamdani won't enact a single anti-Jewish measure. I don't even know what those would be. But that's not the point. The point is that 400K of my neighbors don't care that he makes Jews feel unsafe. That's the real tragedy here. 8:38 PM • 6/24/25 • 125K Views

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

"Lizard Shampoo" And Pagan Texts Suggest "Dark Age" Medicine Wasn't So Dark After All Thousands of previously overlooked manuscripts paint a new picture of a period many have dismissed as "backwards".

Lizard shampoo may sound like a new TikTok trend, but it's actually part of a set medieval medical recipes recently discovered by scholars that redefine our assumptions of medicine during the Middle Ages.

Love a good synchronicity 😌✨

What I've been composting Let the re-emergence begin...

Everyone wants to be the butterfly; nobody wants to be the soup. 🫟

walked outside to scream but saw my first bats of summer so I cried instead

What’s rotting in your life that you’re trying to doll up instead of letting it compost? 💄

Stay in the rot.

Well, it’s been a year since my old business crumbled from my creative partner spontaneously peacing out.

Did I quit? Have I been plotting revenge?

Nah. I chose putrefaction.

hell yeah! 🌿

I miss when “ICE” referred to a safety protocol of keeping a contact in your phone labeled “In Case of Emergencies”

Just in case you need this reminder too:
Rest & play are separate activities 🙃
