RFK Jr’s heroin use is merely context, please stop citing it as being the reason he is who he is

people who use drugs are generally a lot nicer & less dangerous than him

He’s unconditionally awful

His villainy stands on its own

People who use drugs deserve respect

He doesn’t

Hope this helps 🫶🏻
I would like it very much if people could please stop calling our administration “psychotic”

people experiencing psychosis are generally MUCH nicer & far less dangerous than this administration

It hurts some of my favorite people’s feelings &/or is unfair to them

thank you in advance 🫶🏻

I was intrigued by this Ewok purse (merch from SW Celebration Japan) until I realize it would like like 1) I skinned an Ewok & turned it into a tote & 2) Ewok still looks startled by this turn of events (understandable!). Sorry babe, hu-mans gotta accessorize! swcjapan.myshopify.com/products/ewo...

People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.

Distinct from the Heroine's Journey, but I may add this to my course on community models of psychedelic integration anyways.
The Lady’s Call to Adventure is not really the one she wanted. She knows that if she doesn’t choose to slay this dragon, then they are going to give This Call to some Hero who is 22, went to a fancy dragon-slaying school, and whose dad was a famous dragon slayer.

My new comfort watch in my now no streaming life is The Repair Shop.

Imagine the Great British Bake Off meets Finding Your Roots but more wholesome, skilled, and creative?

There's not a competition, but there arre adorably sentimental British folks trying to not cry every single show.

So, a wave of pushback on CATMC by cities is making it impossible for me to find a new office, which I need badly.

I'm looking at closing down in January.

In our upcoming paper, we use the biopsychosocial frame to describe the container for our client with decades of chronic hip pain, PTSD, and activity avoidance. This is a good article for the general public.

However, it doesn't address the bias and realities of this work.

Ok, best scientific article of the year! Rats giggle when tickled, and they have figured out optimal tickle protocols that differ by sex.
🐀Male and female rats like to be tickled differently - males prefer rougher play.
🤣How do we know? Rats produce ultrasonic giggles that can be monitored with a bat detector.
🧪Why is this relevant? To improve lab animal welfare.

Ah, to tickle rats for a living...♥️

Spotify is popular, though not universally used and loved. I have uploaded several of my most popular playlists to Apple Music. Happy listening!

Coming soon: Tidal, Bandcamp, Soudcloud and other (more equitable) platforms!

I have no more streaming.

Watching regular PBS. No choosing. Just what's on. Like the good ol'days.

I haven't given money to Amazon in a looooooooong time.

It's not hard. It's only slightly less easy.

As I am looking at publishing my first book under my Liminal Topographies, LLC imprint, this weighs on me. Where to distribute and what to avoid?
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.
