Best hook I've read in a long time. Or maybe it just hit me at the right moment. 💯 😉 #writing #journalism #psychology www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
A better life is possible - but only if you dive deep into your unconscious
We are used to skimming the surface of our emotions, distracting ourselves with endless doing. To discover what we really need, we must move beyond the shallows

it may not be encouraged but I also got a spring Covid vaccine in Ontario. In Toronto to be more specific. East Toronto to be even more specific and Pharmacare pharmacy on Broadview with lovely Lindsay the Pharmacist to be more specific still!

My 72-year-old half-sister has profound #autism. So, very likely, did my great uncle Carl, born in 1900. The #MMR vaccine was introduced in 1971. (Single Measles vaccine was introduced in 1963.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ IME + in science's HO. #eugenicists go home.

As a US merit scholar, I had one of these #unpaid #internships at a private UK gallery in the 90s. I'll add to this critique that I was de facto cut out of things like galas bc I couldn't afford to buy the clothes. It has always struck me as a bizarre arrangement. The owner was a $$$ celeb.

I'm here to tell you if you can't focus or get anything done today because you're in a marginalized group that's about to lose rights, then resting and connecting is totally valid. Self care is resistance. Community care is resistance. 🕊️💕

I've been so separated from "real life" at this point that it's starting to feel like a city I moved out of. It's a singularly #cyberpunk experience, I can tell you. #disability #cancer #covidawareness. Makin' it work, tho. Research for a novel, as usual. :D
