highway road sign: ROAD CLOSED COSMIC HORROR

Good morning

Yay, signed up!

I think skepticism is really healthy, I'm superstitious about astrology but would be v wary of any old mate popping up to be like 'when were you born?'

That's incredible, every little bit of progress counts.

For a lot of birth charts, whether you were born at day or night time is important, as well as the planets being in close proximity where an hour or two does change things a bit.

I was born two weeks overdue and I do wonder if I'd been a chilled out Cancerian type rather than a vain Leo. 🤣

GETTIN’ BONED ATTENTION! I HAD TO CHANGE THE DATE FROM 12/6 TO 12/13! FYI! The workshop is open to anyone of any skill level. It is a participatory, learn-as-you-go experience.  The workshop is PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN...

This Saturday @tombenjamintarot.bsky.social is running a bones/charms/assemblage casting workshop 2pm EST, pay as you feel. Learn how to do this (you don't need any kit) from an experienced, kind, no bullshit diviner.

Now our sessions have finished, I am happy to share my testimonial about working in supervision from with Sage M Stephanou, the Radical Queer Therapist. If you are looking for a supervisor, I highly recommend them.

Sometimes that crash hits hard. I hope you can rest and be kind yourself.

I believe in your ability to make good decisions to rest, you absolutely don't have to earn your rest by working. In fact, resting is a purposeful activity in itself, it allows you to recharge your batteries. You're doing great to be considering resting.

Survivor by Roger McGough. Everyday, I think about dying, about disease, starvation, violence, terrorism, war, the end of the world. It helps keep my mind off things.

I'm happy to support it if you do rerun it, drop me an email. Have a great day tomorrow.

The more I look at my chine collé etching, the more pleased I am with it. Did you know birds bones are connected to their breathing via pneumatization, where air sacs fit into bone hollows to allow for more oxygenation? The struts make their bones strong too.

THIS! I know so many people who have sought help and been turned away, and are using AI as am imperfect aid to help support them where a human service used to. And they admit that they'd prefer a decent human response over a bot.

Ugh, I am so sorry you didn't get meaningful depression and suicide support. It's hard to have to manage it alone and you're alive so credit to you for doing what worked before and rethinking things now.

I'm glad, Bobby was, is so special ♡

Thank you, I really needed to hear that from a friend ♡♡♡ xx

Yeah, I don't have any experience of mod to severe ED so I am probably pulling this out of my butt but if the situation is being trapped between the two, I wonder what wiggle room there is in one depression direction and if there's more options for the mood end of things.

I know depression can such a bitch to treat and mh services don't take it seriously. I am wondering if the nutrition and fuel might allow your body to function enough for the depression side of things to be treated. I might be off base though.

I believe you that the choice between depression intensifying and the need to restrict of food is real. Has there or is there any flexibility in the level of depression that might allow you to get calories in for the short term to allow space to treat the mood crash?

Getting a bit agitated at the memory of walking Phantom down to the vets knowing I'd come home alone but I have been doing my deep breathing, looking at a picture of him and reminding myself I'm safe, no one is hurting now, this is a memory.

Naps are a source of power! 🤣

When healing isn’t equal: racial bias and the burden of mental health People of color, particularly those who are racialized, face a certain burden while seeking mental health support: the burden to explain.

"The problem is structural; it is already embedded in the training models, diagnostic frameworks, and the cultural assumptions regarding emotions and their visibility."

100% , it would be a big gallery!

(Also if you need any help with running it in future, I am happy to lend a hand with background zoom and breakout room hosting stuff, this training is so vital.)

I've got 2 who couldn't do tomorrow but are keen if you re run it again.
