Plans Change: Resting, but Not Really

I was set for live supervision at Glasgow Wellbeing Rooms, but a shower slip ripped my hamstring. As a neurodivergent person, “just rest” is hard. I'm prepping for May’s EMDR training. How do you handle downtime?

Time to stop calling it a negotiation.

This is two autocrats, looking to leverage as much as they can from a sovereign country, lying about Ukraine, posturing without Ukraine.

Europe has to step up fast.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.
