As part of Emu Family, I once role-played Jody Mills of Supernatural. #SPN #Wayward As part of it, I would post thoughts & memes with the hashtag #Waywords Jody is back in the Waywords business!

I Hope You Win!

We’re taught to be in competition - we look askance at someone new, wonder what we’ll lose if they win, but we stretch a smile over our fear.

What if, instead, we HOPE they win? Support & celebrate with them? How would first meetings feel, then? How could we not all win? #Waywords

#Waywords Them

We gravitate to those who reinforce our sense of self & belonging, but in “Us” vs “Them” tribalism, even minor deviation separates us

Embrace agreement! It is comforting in troubled times, but it can become unhealthy if it restricts diversity, inclusion, & self-reflection

#Waywords Let’s be The Doctors of Hope in 2025

from our #WaywardAF 13th Doctor:

Mabli, “are you a doctor of medicine?”

The Doctor, “Well, medicine, science, engineering, candy floss. LEGO, philosophy, music, problems, people. Hope…

Mostly Hope.”

#Waywords Love Wins

People love as deeply as we do, misinformed people, included.

I know sometimes it feels like we are taking steps backward, but there’s no power, illusion, virus, or violence, that can stand in the way of love like that. Eventually, it wins, in big and small ways, every time.

#Waywords Fine

Maybe you’re acting like you’re fine, but you’re not

Maybe it seems everyone else is fine, while you’re alone in your pain

How many of them are in pain, too, but since you say you’re fine, they feel alone, too?

We’ve all seen Winchester “fine” in the mirror. Watch for it! #SPN

#Waywords Strangers

It seems there’s more casual cruelty than ever before

We’re Wayward & never knowingly cruel, but in these times, avoiding strangers seems safest

I’m all for protecting our peace, but the only remedy for hate is understanding

If we aren’t talking to strangers, who will?

#Waywords Nooks & Crannies

I admire any who find, co-create, & participate in places of social media safety & mutual support

We are in charge of SM - free to engage or disengage whenever we choose. Only we can discern what is worthy of our attention

Feed the angels

Starve the trolls

#Waywords “I’m Batman!”

I’ve been busy fussing around with this stupid utility belt, trying to make it all perfect, but nothing is ever going to be perfect - just gonna trust the cape!

🤔 the confidence of a 4 year old or Dean Winchester…if there is a difference 😉😂 #SPN

#Waywords: Compassion

We face challenges unlike most of us have seen. More than ever, we must rely on compassion

Compassion for one another, compassion for what we’ve built, compassion for wherever we’ve caused harm, and every day, always, compassion for ourselves
