Hi @bsky.app humans! My name is Shanny, a Buffalo-born girly — usually moving between home, Santa Teresa 🌊, the Utah mountains 🏔️, and everywhere in between.

I love exploring the intersections of consciousness, spirituality, theology, political theory, embodied wellness, and using AI as co-creator.

I love when past me sets appointments on my calendar 15 minutes earlier than they really are.

It’s the only way I make it somewhere on time…and then I get to thank past self for thinking of future self and the turns into one of my favorite self love moment.

my prescription for a better world in three books #booksky

**Alt Text:**
A top-down photo of three books neatly arranged on a rich wooden table, framed by a soft lavender scarf that loops around them in a gentle oval shape. From left to right, the books are: a minimalist gray cover featuring a single black circle (“The Creative Act” by Rick Rubin), the colorful illustrated cat-covered memoir *Poets Square* by Courtney Gustafson, and the black and gold classic *The Prophet* by Kahlil Gibran. The soft focus vignette at the edges gives the image a dreamy, contemplative atmosphere.

We're not free. We're feral — caught between the primal need for connection, trust, and safety, yet feeling unsafe receiving those needs from the very manmade structures that created us.

Desexualized your brain by deconditioning your shame around pleasure.

RIP epic pop music era — you’re sincerely missed

ladies… the best accessory?

no bra. just nips, confidence, and owning that you’re being seen.

“Pick me” energy….i knew her well.

But in meeting her, and loving what’s beneath the surface, you can let her go and allow your natural magnetism attract the magic of this world.

Recovering “Pick Me” energy

Pick-me-girl energy… yeah, I knew her well.

ai isn’t replacing our ability to think.
it’s revealing who’s still creating… and who’s surrendered that power.

Shanny Robs @shannyrobs.bsky.social · 11d

working in #ai gives me a closer look at where all this is heading.
and yes — i get the hesitation (trust me, i feel it too).

but the conversation around “is ai making us dumber?” misses the real point —
it’s not about intelligence, it’s about autonomy.

open.substack.com/pub/theferal...

has ai made us dumber?

Or is it just separating creators from consumers?

no longer being perceived, or perceiving, by people who aren’t aligned with who i am now.

i’m not time-traveling through old versions of me anymore —

not hopping timelines through a scroll.

i’m here.

present.

and nothing is pulling me back.

Shanny Robs @shannyrobs.bsky.social · 11d

it’s wild — even in the most heart-centered, aligned relationship with my dream man, i’d still get that random little ping… that impulse to “just check in” on old profiles. no reason, no attachment — just habit.

but saying goodbye to insta has fortified my energy field.

Shanny Robs @shannyrobs.bsky.social · 11d

i broke up with instagram.

and now… i can’t even stalk my exes.

My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies. by Resmaa Menakem MSW, LICSW SEP

A hardcover copy of *A People’s History of the United States* by Howard Zinn rests slightly angled on a warm wooden desk. Beneath it lies a cream-colored floral fabric with red, orange, yellow, and green patterns. The book’s white cover features bold red and blue lettering, with the author’s name in red at the top and the title centered in blue. Soft natural lighting and a shallow depth of field give the scene a cozy, vintage film aesthetic.

A copy of *The Intersectional Environmentalist* by Leah Thomas rests at a slight angle on a warm wooden desk. Beneath it, a soft sage green linen fabric flows naturally off the edge of the frame, adding a gentle texture. The book’s minimalist cream cover features bold black typography and a vibrant rainbow arc, illuminated by warm natural light with a shallow depth of field that gives the scene a soft, film-like aesthetic.

Turning Point USA announced they're doing their own concert for Super Bowl Halftime, using "fully Christian, American" performers. Now seems like a good time to remind them that Bad Bunny is both fully Christian and fully American.

Our brains were hijacked—from yellow journalism to rage-bait rabbit holes—& now we mistake outrage for truth. I’m trying to find my way back to something grounded, something real. Maybe by figuring it out, we all get a little saner.

Take a look if you feel it too.

Tuesday thought 💭

substack.com/@shannyrobs?...

We are so obsessed with the physicality of life that we forget the essence of the soul.

The infinite soul always ask for consent, for the soul is formless, limitless, open to flow in and out.

knowledge empowers,
fear manipulates.

anything or anyone working to separate you from another is manipulation.
