I wrote this post last week about balancing recovery, training, pain, and executive functions.

Today is another recovery day, so I thought I'd share it here.

Balancing Structure and Recovery - Kori Doty

Tldr: executives to function can be hard to wrangle, this is worth finding some. And, I get it.

World's fucked

I'm not sure I have anything to say, maybe just to try and find a couple small things to hold on to

it could be a sunset, a cool rock, the feeling of soft fabric, a slight breeze and an inhale

anything

hold onto it

The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.

SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of global military carbon emissions are from the United States.

Working class people cooling their apartments with air conditioning is not the problem.

The only compelling material theory of politics left is the Dwarf Theory, which is that if your treasure horde is too big, you get the gold sickness and declare war on the androgynous looking fairy types and nature just because they are there.

not really sure tbh @delphicreject.bsky.social · Jul 12

I think the framing of capital's revolt being more about loss of *status* than loss of *wealth* is really persuasive. These guys aren't concerned with losing money, they're concerned about not getting to act like petty feudal lords due respect from the peasantry.

There are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America.

Guess which one they want you to focus on.

So what exactly do you “do”… - Kori Doty

Within the field(s) of work that my coaching offerings land in there is often some question of “what is it, exactly, that we do anyways?” I have trained with the Institute of Somatic Sex Education (up...

I would love to see coming generations of queer and trans kids not have to spend their adult lives working through the trauma of being queer and trans kids. I wanna sit in my rocking chair and marvel at their lives.

A text based visual reads:
Trying to get out of your head and all there is to worry about?

What about thinking about what you DO want and then spending time to meet your body in what feels good?

Sometimes a part of birthing the world we want into existence requires fucking about it. Which can be solitary, but is never in isolation.

As spring springs all around us and holidays of new life are bursting forth like buds, as they do each year, our own creative and reproductive powers are connected with the rest of the world.

May pleasure and connection in your body sprout and grow strong towards the light.
