It's unreasonable to ask or demand of a nervous system that has developed specific defenses for specific reasons, to "just be normal."

We didn't develop these patterns just for the hell of it, & easing out of them is going to require us to acknowledge & respect why they exist.

“Do you know how long it takes a working man to save $5,000?”

Approximately 42% of Americans have less than $5000 in savings.

79 years later and this question, defending the working class against unchecked greed and exploitation, hasn’t aged at all.

Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, to keep you from having to think or study, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you’ll become incapable of creativity or communication. They want to make you a non-person.

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).
Lay article attached:
One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

To every out trans person:

Your visibility didn’t just show me who you are. It showed me that it’s possible to be exactly who I am too.

Thank you for providing the roadmap that’s helping all of us find our way.

Your annual reminder that the "Christmas with Weezer" EP is unironically one of the greatest collections of Christmas music ever, featuring genuinely moving versions of songs and carols, but is also like, a top 4 Weezer album. It sounds like a Blue album b-side EP!

We are experiencing a more severe than usual flu season and COVID rates are starting to rise. If you want to reduce your chances of getting sick, one of the most effective things you can do is wear a high quality mask. 🤫

You're not having trouble being patient w/ & compassionate toward yourself because you're "broken" or "not trying hard enough." It's because you didn't have those behaviors modeled. You're asking yourself to guess at what they look like. OF COURSE it's hard & awkward.

Remember this film? Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas is a quiet little gem of pure Jim Henson magic. It's a 1977 cult classic following two hardworking otters (so nothing like Steve and Brad) entering a talent show to buy each other Christmas gifts!

A recent piece on RFK’s approach to health policy called it “decision-based evidence-making,” and that seems an apt way to describe this whole administration.

We survivors in recovery are not going to get past feeling guilty for saying "no" overnight. That one's seared into our nervous system, deep. But we CAN commit to saying "no" when we need to, regardless of how we feel. Start w/ the behavior, & chip away at changing the feeling.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”

Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.
