YouTube video by frenchphraseculte atmosphere, atmosphere, est-ce que j'ai une gueule d'atmophere?

I have to thank you! I couldn’t help but think of Arletty’s famous line:“atmosphère, atmosphère, est-ce-que j’ai une gueule d’atmosphère?” From classic film Hôtel du Nord…

Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

So so good you have that! And make sure to REST! (Real deep boring rest!) 🥰

Marthaaaaa! Sending love and all the swift and easy recovery vibes up across the equator to you! 💕🫂💕

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lay defeat and death.” Nelson Mandela Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

Ayyyyyy …. I hear you. May I offer this quote from Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom? It has sustained me through many a dark moment and I needed to reconnect with it today as well.

Thank you for this article. You very succinctly and successfully conveyed the ideological air we were forced to breathe during my childhood in South Africa.

Check your email… I wrote to you about this very topic this morning (re yr Folly post) and I completely echo Nina’s words. Also btw I do not post anymore but felt compelled to risk poking my head up to reply to you. 🥰🫂

🥰💕

Good luck!

Lovely colors and stitches! Could you block it into shape?

Gathered Meeting to Support Helpers — What A Shrink Thinks A quiet space to gather, rest, share & recover

Just so folks are clear -
I'm waiving all donations for my contributions (training/convening) to this effort.

All facilitators are volunteers - and I am hoping that they will reimbursed for their labors by donation

But this is a space being created to keep us all going:

Gathered Meeting to Support Helpers — What A Shrink Thinks A quiet space to gather, rest, share & recover

These meetings are organized to support professional and *natural* helpers (caretakers, parents, activists, teachers, medical and mental health care providers, community organizers, advocates - anyone in danger of burnout, over-extension or demoralization

We currently have about 9 active facilitators who have committed to holding a once monthly Gathered Meeting by donation - so I'm hoping we will be able to have a couple meetings each week for folks to be able to drop into or attend regularly

Gathered Meeting to Support Helpers — What A Shrink Thinks A quiet space to gather, rest, share & recover

Gathered Meeting is a space to sit still and in silence together, to draw on our shared strengths and resources, grieve and celebrate together when necessary, and stay grounded in the work in front of us.

You are welcome to come sit with us as we build out a network of resting spaces

Will be great to see you there Miguel!

I am signing up too!!

Thinking of you and sending all the hugs and all my love
💕🤗💕🤗💕

Dear Hilary I would very much like to come to your party and so would Hilary. Thank you for asking us.

THIS THREAD!!! 💖💖💖

“I was going to die, sooner or later, whether or not I had even spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silences will not protect you.... What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence?” Audre Lorde

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I would encourage anyone dedicated to the causes of academic integrity, social justice, and (funnily enough) free speech to sign this petition in support of a brilliant NU professor whose tenure application was denied for the baffling and contradictory reason that he stands up for his students.
