"BOSS, THE FASCISM."
This image is a screenshot of a Tumblr post by the user "nitewrighter." It reads: Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

I'm partnering with @goodgriefnetwork.bsky.social next week to facilitate a brand new Halloween-themed event!

This online event flips the script on our society’s spooky stories about death & shows how death acceptance can connect us to our values, to each other, & to a deeper appreciation for life!

Fresh from the Global CBS Exchange—ACTivism for Authoritarian Anxiety

No, I’m not trying to treat Drumpf’s fear of stairs!

This is message for everyone struggling to find balance between avoidance & burnout. And it’s a call to committed action for fellow practitioners to pitch in!

New Anxiety Intervention unlocked: Repeating the intrusive thought in a Donald Trump voice makes it sound instantly idiotic.

Bonus: Add "You're FIRED!" at the end for a laugh 😂

Someone should tell RFK Jr that Emily Dickinson is suspected to have been autistic & one of the most prolific poets of all time.

His mischaracterization of autistic people shows him to be hateful, ignorant & uninformed.

More than that, we ALL have value. Evaluating “worth” shouldn’t be a spectrum

Title: "It's That Easy!" The cartoon is a four-panel comic strip that shows how environmental advice has escalated over the decades. In each panel, there's an adult (presumably a parent or teacher figure) kneeling next to a child and delivering advice about how to save the Earth. The child looks up at the adult, seemingly overwhelmed. Panel 1 (Top Left – 1980s): Scene: A man squatting next to a child. There's a regular trash can next to them. Title: "IT'S THAT EASY!" This is a four-panel comic strip that humorously tracks the increasing complexity of environmental advice over the decades. In each panel, a man is squatting next to a child, pointing forward with one hand. The man’s expression stays the same throughout — cheerful and upbeat — while the child consistently looks a bit unsure or overwhelmed. Panel 1 (Top Left – 1980s): Scene: The man and child are next to a regular trash can. Man says: "Pick up your litter and save the Earth!" Panel 2 (Top Right – 1990s): Scene: The man and child are now next to a recycling bin. Man says: "Recycle and you can save the Earth!" Panel 3 (Bottom Left – 2000s): Scene: The man, now wearing a bicycle helmet, stands next to a bicycle with the same child. Man says: "Reduce your carbon footprint and you can save the Earth!" Panel 4 (Bottom Right – 2010s): Scene: The background is now ablaze with fire and smoke, suggesting environmental catastrophe. Man says: "Completely restructure global economic systems and you may be able to save a remnant of humanity!"

It's a weird #TransDayofVisibility for me because I feel all too visible all too much of the time. If a stranger walked up & asked, "Hey, are u trans?" my urge would be to palm my pepper spray & search for a convenient shrubbery to duck behind. Like, can we get a #TransDayofINvisibility up in here?

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

Everyone believes they will be the exception. That chronic illness, homelessness or tragedy won’t befall them.

We can’t all be the exception. Life can change in an instant, and most will experience tragedy at some point in their lives.

We should all fight for better social supports & safety nets

Ableism teaches us that disabled people are “less than”. That they’re lazy or not trying hard enough.

Disability can & does happen to anyone. It doesn’t matter how hard you try or how much you “want” to be well.

We all deserve compassion & worth should never be based on economic contribution.

This is such a great point. Community is so important, and bartering is a wonderful way to get to know your neighbors, rely more on each other than corporations. When community is lost, so is civility and humanity. The ROI when building relationships is worth more than gold…

#USPS #resist
This is a political cartoon depicting a scene at a United States Postal Service. Description: A postal worker, appearing tired and unenthusiastic, is standing behind the counter at a USPS office. A customer, a woman with reddish-brown hair wearing a purple coat and carrying a brown purse, looks at him with a surprised expression. The postal worker says, "Sorry, we no longer have 'Forever' stamps. We now have 'Just taking it day by day' stamps..." In the background, there is a "Wanted" poster depicting Donald Trump's face.

I'll add that "not letting them terrorize you" isn't about shutting down fear or anxiety. It's about allowing your feelings the space they need & mindfully deciding what actions to take.

#resist
A screenshot of a substack post by D.L. Mayfield. It reads: Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism: 1) They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror 2) If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war 3) The single best way you can resist fascism is to not let them terrorize you constantly. Protect your mental health to ensure you are not constantly in a terrorized state 4) Keep connecting to who you are at your core. Your values, preferences, ethics, and beliefs. Build up capacity to resist 5) Remember they are like abusive parents: they only see us as extensions of them. They have no clue how powerful joy and community and self-expression can be. We can use this to our advantage — we can be the strong-willed child they never saw coming. Spending time connecting to your true self is not selfish in these times — it’s intricately connected to a resistance movement that is tied to honoring our bodies, our communities, and to the land. We have to build capacity to resist by being exactly who we are!
