A pause
Edges fade
Something leans
Toward forward

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

"How can I explore possibility, so I can envision a future that I want to grow into?" ~ Jessica Lanyadoo. Ghost of a Podcast: 587 Horoscope - New Moon with some Rough Edges 🌙💫✨

That's cool! Love the colour! I use an old duvet cover that I can't stand the texture of on my skin but is still pretty.

You weren’t “high functioning”
You were masking.

You weren’t “coping well”
You were dissociating.

You weren’t “fine”
You were surviving.

They applauded your performance
and ignored the cost.

That wasn’t care.

It was survival.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
— Dwight D. Eisenhower

We never grow out of needing a safe space. It might sound silly to some people, but responding to life w/ power & purpose ONLY happens when we've intentionally created safety inside our head & heart-- which, make no mistake, is an every day challenge & project in trauma recovery.

Yesterday, I visited my constituent, Amu Gib, who has been detained in HMP Bronzefield without trial since July.

Amu is now on Day 39 of their hunger strike, yet there is complete silence across our mainstream media.

This is an emergency. They must be granted bail, now.

“You’re still hurt by that? That was a long time ago!”

Not to a nervous system. Abusive behavior puts a brain on constant alert to send warning so it doesn’t happen again. It was a long time ago for the perpetrators, but survivors remember & experience it like it was yesterday.

There’s nothing wrong with healthy eating, exercise, sunlight & stress reduction.

They’re great ways to improve health.

The problem is the “wellness” community.

It’s always been a direct pipeline into eugenics.

They believe you can “healthy living” your way out of disability, and it’s not true

Many trauma survivors have been conditioned to believe we have to keep it to ourselves when a comment or "joke" hurts us-- but something survivors in recovery often find is we're much less willing (or able!) to tolerate passive verbal abuse in the guise of "just kidding."

"It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society". ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

If you’re dealing with a chronic illness flare, remember it’s ok to rest.

You’re not failing.

You didn’t do anything wrong.

You’re not being punished.

Flare ups happen and the best thing we can do is lean in to radical rest as much as possible.

Save your spoons and give yourself grace.

Don’t just abolish Prince Andrew’s titles, abolish the monarchy.

Why not give arts and amenity more funding? Why do Shetland amenity and Shetland arts trusts not get the same level of funding as Shetland Recreational Trust? Heritage and arts in remote rural areas is...

A honey, pine, wooden table has a white plate front centre, with green, yellow and blue polkadots and a blue rim has two toasted open sandwiches with avacado, salad, vegan cheese and sriracha mayo. A pen, paper and pencils frame are strewn around the top of the table, with a pencil case open in the top corner. A silver bin is in the top left corner of the photo. My kitchen.

Like if I was using these "🍆💦" kinda emojis, then maybe, somethings up... But a peerie heart 💚, nope that's just 'peace & love', not "hey, how you doing?" 😂

My communication style is always changing and evolving as I learn, as will my use of emojis. I think it's best not to make assumptions, to only decide based on clear signs, not ambiguous emojis.

Messy, combative and intoxicatingly fierce – don’t write off Your Party just yet | Andy Beckett Spending time with its activists, I’ve seen signs of a refreshing challenge to stale mainstream politics, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

The patriarchy is as damaging for men as it is for women.

Matt Haig, an accomplished author and journalist who’s written fiction and nonfiction lays it out clearly here.

The pressure on boys to harden themselves into unfeeling caricatures is real, and it hurts everyone.

Resist it.👇

There are trauma survivors reading this who have been told they must "like" the chaos that has often been part of their life, because they keep ending up in "drama"-- which misses the point that many survivors' trauma is due to being trapped in unstable or dysfunctional systems.

The Patron Saint of Farts... They're better out, than in. Amen 🙏🏻
