So many potential opening lines for a Great American Novel from recent events:
The day David Lynch died…
The day Hollywood burned down…
The day a convicted felon re-entered the White House…

The "slow breathing to convince your body that you are not actually in physical danger" thing actually kinda works, y'all.

"There is still time" is such a strong line- both compassionate & urgent. It says you can still change, still choose compassion—for yourself & others. But “still” carries weight-it reminds us time isn’t infinite. As fascism grows, we must remember: there is still time for kindness, but it is finite.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats
“I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me.

Once you realize that a lot of men only value their wives in terms of what they do for them or for their children/families, you can't unsee how almost all of the praise from men to their wives has nothing to do with them personally and everything to do with the quality of service.

Uplifting diverse opinions is vital, but let's be clear: fascists can't be reasoned with. They thrive on violence and fear—and they don't deserve safety or normalization. The only response to a fascist? Punching a fascist.

Pretty much every trauma survivor I've ever worked with has been a highly sensitive soul existing in a highly complicated physical situation-- including their body, their housing or living situation, their economic circumstances, & their medical status. For starters.

I can't stop thinking about how disabled people with more abilities have treated disabled people with less abilities. We need to talk about that a lot more, and the lateral violence within community. I am definitely guilty of it, and I want to make a conscious effort to do better.

The big idea: why we should take teenage love more seriously
Adolescent passions shape our future selves, and can be every bit as powerful – and perilous – as adult relationships

At least once a week I think to myself "maybe the rightwing ideologues are right, I live in a bubble so maybe my analysis is tainted by that." Then I remember: I'm reacting to things that Trump says on directly camera, unvarnished by any intermediaries.
i admit i live in an echo chamber of leftist politics, the only exception being when i hear things said by the president, the next president, the supreme court, members of congress, people on the news, my family, or people i encounter in my daily life.
