I gotta say, it’s a raw deal when you’re one of the “some gun deaths.” But, per his logic, it’s only rational that some have to die so the gun nuts can keep shooting their guns.

Charlie Kirk’s quote from April 2023 for use in his obituary:

"I think it's worth [it] to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other god-given rights.That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

This is disgraceful. Someone should paint his home and streets in rainbows. What an asshole.

That class looks like an awesome deal for my clients. Thanks so much for posting this info!

Excited for the free CE!!

We are deeply concerned by today's ruling allowing federal control of CA National Guard without state consent. This dangerous precedent undermines state sovereignty and constitutional rights. We urge Congress and the public to reject the normalization of military intervention in civilian affairs.

Homicide leading cause of death for pregnant women in U.S. | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Women in the U.S. who are pregnant or who have recently given birth are more likely to be murdered than to die from obstetric causes—and these homicides are linked to a deadly mix of intimate partner ...

“Laws restricting women’s access to reproductive care and abortion can place women at further risk, since control over a woman’s reproductive choices often plays a role in intimate partner violence.”

Nearly 10 billion animals are killed for human consumption each year in the United States. 99% are raised on factory farms, which maximize agribusiness profits at the expense of the animals, the environment, social justice, and public health. The truth is disturbing. #govegan

Psilocybin causes people to feel more connected & unified. The greater sense of connectedness is linked to increased prosocial behavior. In other words, psilocybin makes us want to get along & see the good in each other. That’s not good for capitalism or for the goals of the current administration.

Fantastic guided meditation. Thanks 🙏

Thank you 🙏 Really appreciate it!

In trying to find a possible alternative to getting sick and needed to go to ER (eg, cannabis hyperemisis), I started using only tablets (Breez, etc). Totally helped with the CH! But now my tolerance is through the roof. Suggestions welcome! I miss 😮‍💨💨💨= 😵‍💫 Figured this was a safe place to inquire.

Bizarre Texas Bill Wants to Test the Water for Birth Control, Abortion Pills To suggest these medications are present in our water supply, the Center for Reproductive Rights warns, is to “lay the groundwork to ban them nationwide.”

“So far this legislative session, Texas has tried to charge abortion patients with homicide and ban internet providers from hosting online information about abortion access. Still, state Republicans continue to top themselves.”

This feels about right. We *are* trying though 🤷🏼

It Fits in Your Carry On — Dr. Amanda di Bartolomeo Travel and Mindful Self-Compassion

Traveling to #Santorini including the incredible #vegan food at #sustainable hotel Mod Santorini and practicing #meditation and #selfcompassion wherever I go

Gorgeous shot!

As you should be! Super impressive plant-powered fitness 🏋️‍♀️💪🏼

I just returned from Mod Santorini (all #veganhotel) on the island of Santorini. The food was INCREDIBLE and so was the service from the vegan couple who own the hotel. I’m happy to share more info (many food pics and link to Mod on my page). Note: I do not benefit for recommending Mod to others. ❤️

Last set of photos from #Santorini at the #veganhotel. Sunrise from our balcony, drinking coffee in the a.m. before soaking in the room’s hot tub, and the last two are from a guided tour of the island from one of the hotel owners ❤️
