The reason a lot of white people can operate in the privilege of a comment like β€œwe used to be able to have dissenting opinions & now they break friendships” is because the people of color in the room had to be silent in order to remain in the room safely.

I'm reading Orwell's '1984'. Super timely. Nauseatingly timely.

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the β€œthis isn’t who we are” and β€œI didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

LA folks grab your N95s and close your windows. Turn on your air filters if you have them.

Dream Workshop β€” What A Shrink Thinks Exploring dreams as a creative, contemplative, and community-building practice

Anyway - PLENTY of seats open -

and I try to reserve four free seats for every group I facilitate - the rest are "pay-whatever-you-can-afford" by donation.

This system actually consistently takes care of me!

So please feel free to join if you are interested!

You can also still register for this second part of a discussion about negotiating resistances to group work with Dr. Deserie Charles.

I'll send out the recording for last Saturday to those who register:

This week will be recorded too:

In the introduction language for one of my groups, I added the sentence:

β€œNo one is obligated to speak, and silence is as important a part of the conversation as are its words”.οΏΌ

This is why I'm slowly losing my mind in isolation.

When you know it would likely kill you, you can't just go living life hoping that anyone else isn't out there not giving two shits if they socially murder you.

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

It's hard to describe that sense of community to someone who hasn't experienced it: people coming together to collectively accomplish the goal of meeting a shared basic human need, in connection with the land.

People with mild ME/Long Covid & people who have recovered, please start advocating for the most severe instead of mildwashing the disease & using your story to sell your personal projects while feeding the media narrative of β€œindividual overcoming” πŸ™

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "We Met Along the Way" 14"x11" oil on Ampersand Gessobord (2025). A seascape painting with a gray-blue sky with textured, atmospheric cloud formations over a dark blue sea. Waves are meeting a rocky shore, and there are hints of green moss or algae on the rocks.

From Pacific Northwest, never heard of this for a birthday. Saw a version of this once at a Filipino wedding, pinned to the bride (and groom? I don't remember).

Think you aren’t trained enough, that you don’t know enough, that you have to be an β€œexpert”?

Think that you have to β€œsell” something something or you need approval from some authority?

We are all community members. We can gather together and build support in a million different ways.

Me: we’re having dinosaur meat for dinner

Yes I will be fighting back against the unjust firing by @washingtonpost.com.

I have filed a grievance and will be represented by none other than the amazing @katiephang.bsky.social and an incredible legal team.

Journalistic freedom is a bedrock of a healthy society and is worth battling for.
