Dear listeners,
When the days feel narrow and the noise gets loud, try a song.
Not as escape — as evidence.
Someone, somewhere, once felt this too and made something that still holds.
If hope is hiding, it often hums first.

While a 50 year mortgage might lower monthly payments, it drastically increases total interest and slows equity growth. Stimulating demand without fixing supply would likely raise prices. The core issue in the housing market isn't financing; it's the lack of supply.

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.
“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”

If we avoid basic self-care-- checking in w/ ourselves, speaking to ourselves respectfully & supportively, feeding ourselves & letting ourselves rest-- we're also avoiding communicating to our "parts" & inner child that they're valuable & safe. Which is the backbone of recovery.

Self-care is not as easy for trauma survivors as it may sound. We've been conditioned to deny our need for care ("needing" anything feels awfully vulnerable) & to prioritize others at our own expense.
Learning self-care can be like learning a new language as an adult-- awkward.

You don't have to 100% understand your body in order to soothe your body. As you pay attention to your body, especially when you're triggered, focus in on relating to it w/ acceptance & love-- even as you're scared, even as you're frustrated, even as you're confused.
