This Giving Tuesday, please give to a local nonprofit directly affecting the quality of life in your community! We are proud to give to @equipment4kids.bsky.social this year! #GivingTuesday #DoTheWork

Enjoy the time you have to share with loved ones and find #peace. Strength comes from this level of security and support. Recharge your battery to then open your heart to your neighbors. Consider donating extra unopened holiday food to your local #FoodBank. Happy #Thanksgiving. #DoTheWork

This season it is more important than ever to reach out and help your neighbors as best you can. Anything you can spare in the way of money or time or attention. Just being there to listen and console is often the greatest gift you can give. #DoTheWork #SupportNonProfits #BeKind #HelpOthers

Great Baltimore Lantern Parade & Dia de Los Muertos Festival 2025 on Saturday, October 25 in #PattersonPark #Baltimore #Halloween #DayOfTheDead #DiadeLosMuertos #Fall #fun

Now that's scary! Inferring causation from correlation is the logical fallacy of assuming that because two variables are related, one must be the cause of the other. #CriticalThinking #DoTheWork #Halloween #ScienceIsFun #logic

A little lightness and levity. #cuteness

Well said. #DoTheWork

When people disappoint you with their behavior and actions, it’s easy to lose yourself in the negativity. Don't dwell on the brown spots. Cut them out, discard them, and enjoy the rest of the apple. Then tend the garden as a whole to reap better fruit! #DoTheWork

A person that is unwilling to ever admit when they are wrong will never learn from their mistakes. It is a good idea not to trust their judgement or opinion.

We all know that if it talks and acts like a duck, then it is probably a duck. But also, some will mimic a duck to attract ducks for personal gain. These people are not ducks, it is true, but they ARE in the duck business. If you are in with racist, homo/xeno/transphobes, you are complicit. #pride

If you find you're concerned with things that don't affect you or others, just take a deep breath and with a stern inner voice repeat the mantra "mind your own fucking business" as many times as necessary. #DoTheWork #BeKind #HelpOthers #ShowLove #lesbian #gay #bisexual #trans #queer #ally #PRIDE

Calling down peace and gratitude is actively seeking and embracing a state of calm and appreciation. It involves consciously choosing to focus on positive aspects and expressing thanks for just being while consciously detaching from negative thoughts and worries. Take a break, breathe. #DoTheWork

Celebrating the success of billionaires in a system rigged by and for them is like celebrating an elderly billionaire who consistently wins golf tournaments at the courses he owns. Pathologically cheating to hoard resources is an illness. Celebrating this illness is also a sickness. #MayDay

Anger is an important and valuable emotion, but how it's expressed and managed determines its impact. Healthy anger is: short-lived feelings, clear communication, and a sense of resolution. Unhealthy anger: intense rage, difficulty letting go, and potential harm to oneself and others. #DoTheWork

It's ok not to know something, just commit to learning. It's ok to be wrong, just commit to correction. Even when taking a wrongful action, you can own up to your mistake and actively work to make amends. Life's journey is a series of learning opportunities. Work towards being better. #DoTheWork

In times of hardship, extending grace–understanding, compassion, and forgiveness–isn't just a kindness, but a necessary act of empathy and resilience. Recognizing that everyone is struggling, even if it's not outwardly apparent, helps foster a more supportive and understanding community. #DoTheWork

How do you counter cruelty with #kindness, overcome division with #connection, and affect #balance in inequity with simple actions? #volunteer. Join a group cleaning up your neighborhood or help pass out groceries at a food bank. Look up #local nonprofits and ask them how you can help! #DoTheWork

Loneliness is linked to poorer health, as well as reduced quality of life. Cultivating healthy connections is essential for our overall well-being. Reach out and pitch in to build up your community. Start small and watch that love and support grow beyond you. #DoTheWork #BeKind #HelpOthers

The supreme mystery of #despotism, its prop and stay, is to keep men in a state of deception, and with the specious title of #religion to cloak the fear by which they must be held in check, so that they will fight for their servitude as if for salvation. -Spinoza

Bullying is a method of social dominance that is effective in the short term. It relies on the domino effect. This social manipulation is stopped by collective action. Make the reaction bigger than the action. #solidarity will always defeat #authoritarianism. #resist #BeHeard #DoTheWork

In dealing with sustained stress and danger, we suffer. Empathy fatigue, like depression, is a protective reaction to this suffering. Due to neglecting ourselves in favor of caring for others. In this, reject the temptation to isolate. Practice #awareness #balance and #connection as a balm.

Constantly fighting #overstimulation and #negativity triggers the mind’s defenses, #depression and #anxiety. Working to switch from a self-centered perspective to a compassionate one increases self-worth. Helping others makes you feel better! When one is better, we’re all better. #DoTheWork

Humans are natural multitaskers. We are wired to be able to nurture and love and then, in an instant, turn to savagely protect. You can continue finding #joy and spreading #love in your life while also fighting to protect your rights, your culture, and your life. #DoTheWork #BeNice #HelpOthers

Nonduality emphasizes the absence of separation between things. It's a way of being in the world that involves feeling connected to #everyone and #everything and that the sense of being separate is an illusion created by the mind. It is less emotional activation and more grounding in #reality.

In environments of constant volatility, #CriticalThinking is replaced by #reactivity; instead of analyzing information and considering different perspectives before making a decision, we impulsively react to situations based on emotions or stimuli, without fully evaluating the consequences.

Philanthropy comes from the Greek word philanthrōpos, meaning the "love of humanity". It is the act of sharing resources with others in need. It is the opposite of agressively hoarding resources and attacking all you think want to steal it from you. #love and #acceptance versus #isolation and #hate.

#Christians, the rich and powerful have taken over your faith and turned it into a weapon of #corruption. Reject them and their oppressive agenda. Make #kindness, #love, #forgiveness, and #honesty central to your #faith once more. #DoTheWork #HelpOthers #RejectHatred #RiseUp #FightBack

#disability, #equity, #inclusion, and #accessibility are not bad words. We will not stop doing our small part to level the playing field for our #kids. #Maryland #DC #NorthVirginia

We are conditioned inherently and culturally to be over-reactive to anger and fear. We must strive to have equally strong reactions to #hope and #empathy. This is an important protective drive for ourselves and our #community. #DoTheWork #HelpOthers #ProtectYourPeace #ReduceHarms #StandUp #resist

#Imagine the limitless possibilities that arise when society embraces the spectrum of human uniqueness; variations in race, ethnicity, gender, culture, thought, ability, and perspective, leading to a richer pool of ideas and solutions due to the unique strengths each brings to the table. #WeAreOne

I don't need it to have a name. I don't need it to correlate to historical events. I don't need it explained to me in a 1000 different ways. I can see when something is #wrong. I can spot #injustice. I recognize #danger. The question is how will I react and rectify? #DoTheWork #Protect #resist

Without #people, #money means nothing. Demand those you hire to represent you put people over #profit unapologetically and loudly. Realign your value system with people, yourself included, at the top. #Wealth should serve the people, not the other way around. #DoTheWork #PowerToThePeople #equity

Practice #compassion. Small local #nonprofits are struggling to help your community due to limited resources. Try #volunteering and #donating much needed funds. Reach out and see how you can #help your neighbors. We're in this together. #DoTheWork #HelpOthers #BeKind #ShowLove

Considerations in #resistance: #Innocence: never be the aggressor in a conflict. #Imminence: urgency of the threat. #Avoidance: avoid a conflict if possible. #Proportional: force used should be proportional to the threat. #Reason: use reasonable force #ActAccordingly #HelpOthers #FightBack

Life is complex and can feel overwhelming. #Optimism doesnt entail turning a blind eye to reality. It is about maintaining #hopefulness while seeking solutions to challenges. It requires an appreciation for the intricate and ever-changing nature of life and a tenacity to bring about #positivechange.

When your environment is grim, feeling good takes practice. The #exercise is actively #helping yourself and others. Once a day, consciously do something #good for yourself and then for someone else. #Connection to ourselves and others is the best #therapy. #DoTheWork #BeKind #HelpOthers #ShowLove

Look around. Actively seek out opportunities to #HelpOthers. Tomorrow ask at least one person "can I help you with that?" It will make you both feel better, no matter the answer. #Bekind #DoTheWork #ReduceHarms #BeContent #ShowLove
