Sharing again. Thanks so much.

As Ontario Premier Doug Ford complains that he is the most scrutinized politician ever…may I suggest that there are reasons. It’s not just the private jet….though that probably didn’t help you.

Made Dark and Convict out of felt to feel something. I'll have better pics by daybreak. #ironlung #darkiplier smooch at the end hehe

Yup. The longer we survive, the more we learn, and that's a good thing.
gentle fist bump of people who get it 🤛

Katharine Johnson

As we send a Black man and a woman around the moon for the first time, let’s remember the trailblazing Black woman Katherine Johnson, whose brilliant calculations were critical to the initial Apollo 11 mission. Her work spanned 33 years at NASA, including contributions to the Space Shuttle program.

YES. IN ABUNDANCE.

#goodfriday #christiansky Yearly reminder that Christ lived under Roman occupation and the Roman government was responsible for executing him. Full stop.

Yearly reminder that Christian Seders are antisemitic supersessionism

...as a prisoner, an outrage to social constructs of law, health, status, success. Jesus will meet you, not despite your difficult thoughts & times; but because you are His throughout time.
Let us wait here for Him; in hope, in fear, in pain & difficulty. He will return.
May God bless you. 8/end

But I do know I couldn’t have turned my back on Him if I tried. Jesus is in the radiation therapy bay. He's in the psychiatrist’s office. Jesus died for us in a place of humiliation & pain because we too experience them. Jesus the Redeemer meets us as a badly injured person... 7/...

Why answer my pain by saying I must have abandoned Jesus? Is it an inept but sincere attempt to help? Does it speak to their fear of disease, of loss of control? Is it an effort to make it *my fault*, so they need not fear the same happening to them? Is it medical science denial? I don’t know. 6/...

But what I'm most tired of is people telling me any/all of my health complications arise from turning my back on Jesus.
Not from a neurochemical disorder.
Not from a complex life-threatening disease (cancer, officially 3 years free now), or related injuries. 5/...

I'm so tired of people thinking that Clinical anxiety is just being "nervous". That I'm self-indulgent (terror is not an aperitif, people), can't deal with reality, or I’m just seeking 'attention' ( 1) Here meaning 'random insults' 2) Wanting attention is not pathological, it's human). 4/...

I see my typing has been interpreted "Symptoms of Anal Cancer".
I wipe my eyes & stare at the results, then pant-scream "Great! (wheeze) Now I have to...worry about...having...a heart attack (gasp) AND cancer! In my ASS!"
Funny *now*. At the time? Wildly frustrating. Terrifying. 3/...

One day, I'd gotten to the point of a panic attack where I'm certain I'm actually dying of a *heart* attack. So I go to Google "symptoms of heart attack". I'm crying, shaking, not breathing great, so I can't type or see very well. I blindly punch enter. My search results are...unexpected. 2/...

#mentalhealth #christiansky #goodfriday thread: Here is a hopefully funny story about my Generalized Anxiety Disorder, with a more serious discussion after about how we address #health in the body of Christ. 1/...

But it's not.
The threat is lower level, or not imminent, or statistically very unlikely. But the siren won't stop. Logic has shut down. No useful info, no plan, no escape; just WHOOPWHOOPWHOOP. Stomach-churning. Exhausting. The other states? Helpful friend. Clinical anxiety? TERRIBLE ROOMMATE. 4/4

Terror communicates life-threatening physical or mental danger. Whether or not one can act in the moment, all of the discussed states convey useful assessment of real threat.
Now...clinical anxiety. Sigh.
Clinical anxiety always speaks authoritatively. The threat feels real & highly dangerous. 3/4

Nervousness to Terror is a spectrum. Clinical anxiety is separate from, & interferes w/, the healthy functioning of the spectrum. Nervousness says "we better get this right". It can actually help performance. Fear sees concrete trouble; it says "don't cross the street yet" or "rent's due soon". 2/4

#mentalhealth #anxiety thread (whole thread is IMO, obvi): "Anxiety: Helpful friend, terrible roommate" is a very useful way to put it. As someone who has experienced each of these states (like many folks): nervousness, fear, terror, & clinical anxiety each feel very different. 1/4

NASA spending is equal to 11 days of DoD spending. The Artemis mission is equal to under 3.5 days. Not to mention earth observation another 3 days) saves millions of lives. Space exploration isn't a cool joyride. The tech you post with happens due to NASA spending. NASA spending returns $7-14 for every dollar spent. Value includes more than cost

You can read the full report here: www.migrantjusticens.ca/news/new-rep... I've been lucky enough to meet some of these workers who bravely participated in the research process. It's not easy to talk about your mental health with strangers. I hope the report can change some minds.

Now Available!

If I can have raisin-free butter tarts, I will accept raisins in tea biscuits in the name of Canadian Unity.

That's S-Tier support right there!

Congratulations!
