“Compassion isn't just about feeling the pain of others; it's about bringing them in toward yourself. If we love what God loves, then, in compassion, margins get erased. 'Be compassionate as God is compassionate,' means the dismantling of barriers that exclude.” Fr. Gregory Boyle

Fun Fact:
If the sun was scaled to the size of basketball; Mercury would be the size of a grain of sand 33 feet away, Earth would be the size of a BB 86 feet away, Jupiter would be the size of a gum ball 445 feet away.
The nearest star would 5,000 miles away.

This is my struggle, too. I lost my wife on 11.23.22. I'm saving the article to read over and over again.

For those who didn't follow me previously this is my West Point girlfriend and first wife Jenn who passed in a car accident in 1994 when she was 7.5 months pregnant. An event that shaped the rest of my life. I wrote about the long tail of her loss a while back. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I can see the problem, but I never really liked the idea of using someone else's block list. I tend to trust people until they prove to me I can't. Then I will block them.
Bluesky needs to either ban people who create intentionally mislabeled block lists, or Bluesky needs to get rid of block lists entirely. Something has to give. It’s the only real problem with this platform, but it’s wreaking havoc on a lot of users and communities on here.

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

Grief is greedy. It wants your energy, your will, your appetites, your concentration. I close the 📕,stare out the🪟, lift the cup & take a sip of cold coffee. My late aunt comes to mind, w/her fount of malapropisms that cld make you pee your pants. Said to myself: “yes, honey, you are mereaved.”😂😂

I lived through 26 years of Robert Mugabe, including hyper inflation that was off the charts. I doubt it will be that bad, but
Things to note:
1. You can become a prepper.
2. The trauma is real, and will affect you in strange ways.
3. People will still be kind.
4. There will still be joy
