Looks like some valuable skills to learn these days.
“Often described as a kind of CPR equivalent for mental health, Psychological First Aid is a training anyone can take. It relies on four principles: Prepare for providing help, look at the situation and the need, listen actively to the person to understand their feelings, and link them to services.”
In the LA fires and the NC floods, 'CPR for mental health' treats unseen wounds
From Altadena to Asheville, people devastated by recent disasters encountered helpers trained in Psychological First Aid. Like CPR, anybody can learn it.

What an excellent resource! Thank you for making it happen!
I've often wanted to be able to easily reference what farms are growing medicinal herbs with a focus on sustainable + regenerative practices. As a designer, I also thought it'd be fun to present that info in a searchable, interactive map.

So as a side project, I created herbatlas.fyi

Herb Atlas
Herb Atlas is an interactive map that highlights small, human-scale farms growing medicinal herbs with a commitment to sustainable farming practices.

If this is news to you, you need more naturopathic doctors in your life.

See gastroanp.org, naturopathic.org, cand.ca, oanp.org, AKAND.org, naturemed.org NUNM.edu, psychanp.org and more.

AFAIK, only @nunmedu.bsky.social is here on 🦋 so far.

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg's charitable fund will pay the U.S. share of the Paris climate agreement after Trump pulled out of the UN accord. Bloomberg's pledge covers 22% of a $96.5M budget & ensures the UN's Framework Convention on Climate Change is fully funded www.france24.com/en/americas/...

Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid.

There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families.

Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.

"Remember Indian Nations," President Biden once told me in at a Michigan apple orchard in Central Lake MI a few years ago. Today, he honored those words by doing what no other President, not even Obama, had the courage to do—free Leonard Peltier. He remembered us, and we will remember him. Miigwetch

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

Well, this is gross.

His efforts? Anyone else remember when he started this whole idea of banning TikTok just a few years back.

Ew. 🤮

I’ll be over on YouTube mostly for 2025, and my own podcast, and my student community. Things are pretty safe there.

I don’t understand why children keep dying for going to school & nothing is done about it.

Yet, if a CEO, who robs people of their lives every day, gets shot, it’s all hands on deck.

Can anyone explain this?

Domestic violence is so insane.
I just lost a neighbor and friend right after she served her deranged husband divorce papers.
He murdered her 2 dogs too.
Such a tragedy!
If you are in a DV situation, PLEASE reach out for help and leave as soon as you can.
