Compassion in action doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a well-timed sticky note with a drawing of a cat.
And you can’t tell from the outside what will end up being someone else’s perfect timing, so hand them out anyway.

On the subway, a little girl was drawing cats on sticky notes and handing them to passengers.
Her dad said, “She’s trying to cheer people up.”
Most smiled politely.
One woman held hers to her chest...

On the journey of life, you'll encounter the mean girls - and chances are, they may take up residence in your head, rent-free.
It's important to know who your bestie is, when the mean girls get loud.

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

“Positively tiresome” is masterful understatement to describe an Australian opposition leader for whom a Trump style smashing of democracy would be the ultimate wet dream.
Dutton & Gina = 47 & Musk
For sure.

Laura Tingle calling out Dutton's claptrap.

Why claims that meeting Trump in person could sway him on tariffs are 'hollow'
The Coalition claims it could have struck a tariff deal with Trump but remains coy about what else it could achieve if it wins at the upcoming election.

Have I mentioned my partially torn Achilles tendon yet?
It hurts.
Sigh.
I’m doing All The Rehab Things with my brilliant physiotherapist so it’s making good progress.
But still.
Send virtual chocolate please.
Or wine. I’m not fussy. 😏

Noodling on some key concepts for humans living in times of turmoil.
1. there is a space between stimulus and response (thank you for that reminder, Dr Viktor Frankl)
2. we can decide what to do with that space

Reminder!
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Reminder!
The term 'astroturf' in this political context is absolute GENIUS.
Grassroots movement = you, me, the bloke at the pub, the lady next door, getting together because we care.
Astroturf = chicanery and fuckery on steroids, perpetrated by cynical profiteers.
I'm also not a teal, but fuck this BS.

If you haven’t heard the term “astroturf” before, it’s political slang for faking a “grassroots” movement or organisation. I am no teal but supremely fuck this. I hope Monique and Allegra crush the disinformation barons like ants. Solidarity. #auspol
🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an ‘astroturf’ group: ‘australians for progress’.
using classic negative ad styling — complete with misinformation — billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

Remember when Clive Palmer ran attack ads and we all turned our backs because we could see the self-interest?
Let's do that again. And let's make sure all our friends know, too.

Um, so we’ve gotten to the cruelty stage where it’s not just enough to allow women to die of pregnancy complications, but now anyone could wake up mid surgery with the doctor barking, “ Be still, goddammit!”
Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.
It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I just spent four weeks in a thoroughly toxic stew of my own making, because I failed SPECTACULARLY to listen to my own advice about how to handle a situation.
In other news, I have spots for two 1:1 clients to start now, if anyone wants an awesome coach.
