The essence of Trauma Recovery Mindset (TRM) is our commitment to realistically managing thoughts & reactions as they occur, w/ tools we've developed & practiced-- not impulsively reacting to supposed "certainties" Trauma Brain is trying to get us to waste energy chasing down.

Fascism is not a mental illness, it's a fucking choice, a very deliberate choice, you lint licking, cowardly collaborator We're not falling for this, fuck off (Yes, this is a subskeet)

Onions and a massive pork shoulder (and various seasonings) are in the slow cooker. Now, we wait (somewhat patiently) for delicious pulled pork.

Remember when America had billions of monies for Argentina and Israel but not for Americans? That’s something for sure

@thedailytism.com this feels like a headline that could be The Onion or you!

Dissociation is not "bad." It's a complicated reflex, the core skill of which-- collapsing & funneling awareness-- is absolutely essential to trauma recovery. What we don't want is dissociation just swooping in or slamming us. We need awareness to be a tool, not a takeover.

A real 'progressive' would be calling for actual means of progress. Not thumb twiddling and waiting to take the reins of a self driving capitalist death machine. Revolution is necessary to find the right path.

Why, yes. Yes it was.

"An Advert For Hippocampus" It is the monster within Creates the beast you see Growing with such nurture Learning to understand All the meanings in life From each season that comes To the storms misunderstood Grappling with the journeys The hippocampus did learn #vss365 #advert

My uber is here

anybody who is actually engaging in these arguments and not doing a bit or trying to rile up nonsense discourse, what is wrong with you. GenAI is an incredibly terrible tool created by and serving giant corporations at tremendous environmental and social cost

the only cool thing about AI data centers is they can be destroyed so many different and fun ways

ICE is wreaking more havoc, causing more damage and terrorizing citizens far more than any amount of immigrants ever have.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Good morning.

Still here we are, both of us lonely

politicians have a vested interest in making their job seem far more difficult than it is. i could solve half the world’s worst problems in an afternoon but it would require pissing off a lot of rich ppl don’t let them make you feel like issues are more complex than they feel to you, they aren’t

Death doesn’t suddenly make you a good person and not enough people recognize that

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics, but you go "yes but it's about a machine", then it's not eugenics it's just a critique of a machine

If the kiss is not real, how can it be love?

I do not want you wasting today trying to do emotional or behavioral backflips you're not ready for because you've been convinced trauma recovery needs to happen in leaps & bounds. That's a recipe for frustration & flameout. Think baby steps & realistic micro goals. Try softer.

it's another night and you're still the light

The company I work for is quite into “norms” for meetings, which I actually love, and one of my favorites is “assume good intent.” I think that’s just a good way to live. Most people aren’t trying to hurt you or be nasty. Assume good intent first.

Now if I could write to you Then all I would say Is that I need you Almost everyday I tried but I could not Find the words to say youtu.be/2h8-afiMavo?...

Israel Droned Flotilla Activists And Then Abused Greta Thunberg If you’ll launch drone attacks on activists trying to bring aid to starving civilians, there’s nothing you won’t do. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-dro...

it's bizarre so many people *still* follow bigoted idiots like badempanada and socialistmma (who just now was posting "Jews control the media" memes). What are they doing for you. How are they helping

lrs I did not realize that that wet turd badempanada had floated over to bluesky. The guy is a dumbfuck, just block and cleanse your timeline. Bigotries always come in three-packs at least, and he's shown himself to be antisemitic, anti-Indigenous, transphobic and more

Trying to not weigh in on this ai discussion but it’s important to remember technology exists in a political economic context and what a tech “is” and whether it is a net positive or even useful to most people is largely contingent on that context

cheers to everybody doing the work to alert communities of ICE invasions, whether it's posting online or honking horns

Me: when is it ever going to cool down Mother Nature: lol, you idiots broke the thermostat

Every day we have a finite amount of mental bandwidth we're capable of realistically influencing. Some days it's a little, some days it's more; but finding that sliver of influence-able mental focus & leveraging it to support our safety & stability is how trauma recovery happens.

I keep thinking of these four shows that aired before the 2016 election and how combined they presaged so much that happened: 1) Scandal 2) Mr Robot 3) UnREAL 4) The Americans

Can we get an expert to weigh in?

(guy about to invent the wedge salad) i ain't taking all those leaves apart
