As ever zoom in to the details if anxiety's lurking - looking at botanical patterns helps us recover from stress 60% more quickly.
Also the pink Rowan & spindle...I mean...Barbie berries🍒💅🩷

Research shows that watching footage of animals we find cute is relaxing.
Here’s one of the voles that lives under my garden steps (back in April). A cherry blossom petal falls on her head but she doesn’t notice because she’s so focussed on her snacks❤️👇🏼

When humans look at something we find beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood & if we connect with what we're looking at oxytocin, giving us a sense of belonging.

If you think vaccination alone is enough to protect you from long Covid please note, this is NOT the advice from @WHO. There is a failure by our governments to inform on layered mitigations.

My collection of sea/river pottery👇🏼. When we look at an image we find interesting or lovely our brains release dopamine, lifting mood. To get EXTRA dopamine from my photo tho, look for (from easiest->tricky): dried larkspur, an acorn, a cherub, a lotus flower motif 🔷🔹🔷🔹🔷

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

Trump just announced a federal takeover of DC’s police, deploying 800 National Guard troops and putting the city’s law enforcement under federal control citing crime concerns despite data showing violent crime is at a 30-year low.

And, he's ALREADY naming other cities where he plans to do the same.
