Pain that “hurts” but is not “harmful” can be better managed through rewiring one’s brain via mental exercises. My struggle with that is load, what some since Covid have been calling co-morbidities. Goal is better, not perfect. Finally figuring out mindfulness too; rumination being the enemy of.

In a 10-week chronic pain group through provincial health and am finding it helpful. Winter is hard for me of late and while attending on Friday mornings has its downside, I’ve def noticed a change last couple weekends. Many days continue to be challenging but can see the silver linings more so.

The leading cause of death among ICE officers? COVID-19.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Feds to start getting weekly emails asking what they did. Bosses will see if it fits Trump goals.
A new strategy might compel employees to respond with bulleted lists of what they did in the past week.

This needs to be our rally cry. We can’t just sit idly and let Fascist and Nazi psychos take over this country and align us with an all new axis of evil! Fuck that noise! It’s time to drop the gloves and put up a fight!
When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up."
It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team.
You heard him Canada: elbows up.
If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Be kind.
When that fails, be something else?
But try to circle back to kind, and if you can't find your way.. take a moment.

I love naps but also love not napping; this triggers anxiety?
If I could nap at work, and continue to get paid, I think anxiety would be less. If it's actually anxiety, maybe it's just deviance?
So..... yeah, I got nothing. Go Leafs.
