File under: things that give me hope.

I walked on the beach toward the sun with the waves lapping at my feet and picked up trash.

During this time, 3 people thanked me and 1 told me she's planning her 7yo's birthday party and it will be a beach cleanup, where all the kids will be picking up trash. Then she thanked me.

Lower levels of PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ in North Atlantic whales show regulations work: Study North Atlantic long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) now have 60% lower concentrations of some legacy PFAS than they did a decade ago, offering rare good news about the effectiveness of chemic...

In the era of deregulation, it's nice to have a reminder that environmental regulation really does work. I'll be using this little piece of hope as motiviation to fight back against all this deregulation, and I hope you do the same.

so I'll ask them if they're feeling that sensation in that place of their body where I'm feeling it, and very often they'll say that is exactly what they're feeling too. Our bodies are superbly intelligent. /

I'm a somatic therapy practitioner. Very often when I'm in a client session and I suddenly feel physical sensations emerge (examples: heaviness in my chest, constriction in my throat, buzzing in the stomach), I'm actually picking up on what my client is experiencing 🧵

If you're getting stuck in your anger, despair, or grief and would be interested in an online workshop where we work through this together, just leave a comment/DM.

It'll be affordable and you'll leave with a shifted mindset and everyday tools to help us all weather this dumpster fire world ❤️

This is healthy. It only becomes unhealthy (read: harmful to your body & spirit) when you get 🫟 STUCK 🫟 in dysregulated states.

The goal isn't constant "nervous system regulation" ❌

The goal is to feel all your feelings -- because rage and grief are NORMAL healthy feelings to feel right now...

And then to return to your window of presence. Feel it all. Then return. Over & over, every day, throughout your entire life.

Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example | Fortune The Gen Z Swedish climate activist is a legionnaire of the Antichrist, Thiel claims, a “Luddite” who wants to halt technological progress in its tracks.

We shouldn't write off Peter Thiel comparing Greta Thunberg to the Antichrist because targeting climate scientists and activists will likely be in the upcoming chapters of this fascist regime. We stand in direct opposition to their plays to ramp up fossil fuel and beef production.

You should run from one of these immediately and cherish the other one.

Sometimes we get into a relationship where our partner triggers the $#&@ out of us - and it's abusive and harmful 💔

Sometimes we get into a relationship where our partner triggers the $#&@ out of us - and it's a ripe opportunity to address old wounds head-on, together, with care and compassion ❤️‍🩹😌

Welp I'm now tracking my moon cycle on pen & paper. Thanks a lot, Palantir.

The brain 🧠 drain happened in south America and even within the U.S. in places like Florida. Now it's happening to the whole U.S. This is what happens under capitalism: psychopaths rise to power and make idiotic harmful decisions.

What's the sapphic version of "rock out with your c0ck out"?

I just gave "rock out with your cl!t out" a shot and my friend approved 😂🍒

Have you experienced a blocked throat chakra? And if yes, how did you know and what did you do about it?

I lost my voice and can't even properly whisper. This is like a silent retreat. Let's see how much wiser I emerge from this period where I miss talking to myself and cursing at other drivers 😂🦉

The darker the world gets, the more I take shelter in connection, community, love, nature, and pleasure 🌺

This is what enables me to keep taking a stand for what's right and to remain resilient instead of collapse.

Wanting to be with someone but not wanting to date to find that person -

or wanting to skip getting to know them and instead jump straight into commitment

- is one way you can tell your inner child is running your love life 🍼

Since Pride Month is coming up

Me: I'm ✨ highly ✨ affectionate

Them: Me too

Me: ... (💭 But do they also mean they're a pile of puppies in a trench coat wanting to snuggle non-stop whenever possible?)

Stop 🛑 focusing on the "divine feminine" and "divine masculine" crap.

Instead, heal your shit. Practice embodiment and living in integrity.

Everything else is a sketchy distraction from a hack trying to sell you something.

Love is not going to the Whidbey Island Ren Faire this weekend because it's your partner's birthday weekend and they don't wanna go 😭😅🤷🏼‍♀️💓

But they are letting me take them to a Ren Faire-ish themed dance party so there's that 🥰

Don't hold back. Send those love notes. To your beloved and to your friends and to your family and to anyone you love ❤️

We all need it. And we never know when our last chance is to tell someone we love them.

They don't want you to know that true love looks like arguing and then repairing ad nauseam - and learning to repair better as you devotedly continue to learn about and fall in deeper love with each other.

Some people are so pretty that it's distracting and borderline a problem.

Like you excruciatingly beautiful siren please don't lure me to my death 🎶

Expecting women of all ages to be kind and friendly is ill-advised and sexist. Even if you're paying them, even if they're your mentor.

I've come to learn to respect prickly women. Witches & healers are prickly. It comes with the territory.

Use jealousy as a driving force to get what you desire ✨

My partner (who just ate gluten):

Will you have a reaction if I go down on you?

Giving your sacred no is a gift.

And honoring someone else's no is a gift too.
