Some lovely practices 💙
Reading the news prompts me to revisit these practices. The more we can ground ourselves amid distress, the more we can keep taking values-based action. #academicsky #psychscisky

We the People need legislation holding Moscow Musk and the Terrorist Trump crime family financially liable for all damages done to Social Security and we need class action lawsuits against them on behalf of those whose benefits they have eliminated and stolen.
