MUST WATCH: They didn’t just burn Tulsa — they burned proof.

Black wealth. Black futures. Gone.

Trauma doesn’t just stay in your mind, it sits in your body for so long that if left unhealed, can impact your cells and change your DNA. When we say that wounds are inherited, we literally mean it. So learn to breathe, rest, and let go of what doesn’t deserve your attention before it consumes you.

And if not to someone, writing it down can be a helpful way to clear your thinking or consider what you think. A book I have been listening to “The Power of Writing it Down” , pretty good stuff in there on ways writing can help your process your feeling and help to find your vice 🌞

The backbone of realistic trauma recovery is a relationship w/ ourselves we can trust. Trauma Brain will try effortfully to get us to disbelieve, distrust, & belittle ourselves.

We gotta work, daily, hourly, to be on our own side & have our own back against old conditioning.

everyone says it for a reason: really important to lock in when it comes to fitness and health. just establishing good habits — regular exercise including strength training, eating a balanced diet — will pay huge dividends

Targeted detention & deportation of legal immigrants is *ethnic cleansing* and it is straight out of Hitler's playbook. Get serious about what's happening in the US. This is not a blip that will be resolved with the next national election, this is an existential threat to the United States.

The thing that gut punches most survivors' recovery most often is reflexively judging the sh*t out of ourselves.

Meeting our struggles w/ patience, acceptance, & compassion (yes, "easier said than done") is a non-negotiable skillset we use every day, every hour, in recovery.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

a while back i went home for the first time in several years and was hanging with one of my more sporty friends from high school, who'd maintained connection with many other other jocks, and he told me how it kinda sucked now because they were all just constantly talking about gambling. grim shit

Bright yellow and orange small persimmon fruit hanging in the tree surrounded by its thick, speckled yellow-green leaves

The gray and burnt orange blocky bark of an American persimmon tree. The blocks fit tightly together like kernels on a corn cob. Very distinct bark that can be easily identified in the winter

American persimmon
(Diospyros virginiana)

The anglicized word "Persimmon" derives from Algonquin dialects: putchamin, pasiminan, or pessamin, which all means dried fruit - since the nutritious dried Persimmon is a valuable winter food source.
