Great news!!!

We live in an epidemic of #anger, a primitive cultural rage. Instead of #healing from it, we set it as a cornerstone of our civilization. 80% of #Americans polled report feeling daily anger at high levels. It is rotting us from the core. Find #peace and quell your anger and #HelpOthers do the same.

Let's keep the celebration going by reaching out and helping each other. When we #DoTheWork of making ourselves happy and healthy and strong, we are better able to help our neighbors do the same.

#DoTheWork

This season it is more important than ever to reach out and help your neighbors as best you can. Anything you can spare in the way of money or time or attention. Just being there to listen and console is often the greatest gift you can give.

Now that's scary! Inferring causation from correlation is the logical fallacy of assuming that because two variables are related, one must be the cause of the other. #CriticalThinking #DoTheWork #Halloween #ScienceIsFun #logic

A little lightness and levity. #cuteness

Well said. #DoTheWork

When people disappoint you with their behavior and actions, it’s easy to lose yourself in the negativity. Don't dwell on the brown spots. Cut them out, discard them, and enjoy the rest of the apple. Then tend the garden as a whole to reap better fruit!

#DoTheWork

A person that is unwilling to ever admit when they are wrong will never learn from their mistakes. It is a good idea not to trust their judgement or opinion.

We all know that if it talks and acts like a duck, then it is probably a duck. But also, some will mimic a duck to attract ducks for personal gain. These people are not ducks, it is true, but they ARE in the duck business.

If you are in with racist, homo/xeno/transphobes, you are complicit.

If you find you're concerned with things that don't affect you or others, just take a deep breath and with a stern inner voice repeat the mantra "mind your own fucking business" as many times as necessary.

Calling down peace and gratitude is actively seeking and embracing a state of calm and appreciation. It involves consciously choosing to focus on positive aspects and expressing thanks for just being while consciously detaching from negative thoughts and worries. Take a break, breathe.

Celebrating the success of billionaires in a system rigged by and for them is like celebrating an elderly billionaire who consistently wins golf tournaments at the courses he owns.

Pathologically cheating to hoard resources is an illness. Celebrating this illness is also a sickness.

Happy #Beltane!

Anger is an important and valuable emotion, but how it's expressed and managed determines its impact. Healthy anger is: short-lived feelings, clear communication, and a sense of resolution. Unhealthy anger: intense rage, difficulty letting go, and potential harm to oneself and others.

#DoTheWork

It's ok not to know something, just commit to learning. It's ok to be wrong, just commit to correction. Even when taking a wrongful action, you can own up to your mistake and actively work to make amends. Life's journey is a series of learning opportunities. Work towards being better.

#DoTheWork

In times of hardship, extending grace–understanding, compassion, and forgiveness–isn't just a kindness, but a necessary act of empathy and resilience. Recognizing that everyone is struggling, even if it's not outwardly apparent, helps foster a more supportive and understanding community. #DoTheWork

How do you counter cruelty with #kindness, overcome division with #connection, and affect #balance in inequity with simple actions? #volunteer. Join a group cleaning up your neighborhood or help pass out groceries at a food bank. Look up #local nonprofits and ask them how you can help! #DoTheWork

Loneliness is linked to poorer health, as well as reduced quality of life. Cultivating healthy connections is essential for our overall well-being.
Reach out and pitch in to build up your community. Start small and watch that love and support grow beyond you.

The supreme mystery of #despotism, its prop and stay, is to keep men in a state of deception, and with the specious title of #religion to cloak the fear by which they must be held in check, so that they will fight for their servitude as if for salvation.
-Spinoza

Bullying is a method of social dominance that is effective in the short term. It relies on the domino effect. This social manipulation is stopped by collective action. Make the reaction bigger than the action. #solidarity will always defeat #authoritarianism. #resist #BeHeard #DoTheWork

👏

#Connection: Feeling threatened can make connecting with those around you feel counterintuitive, but reaching out and participating in your community in an aware and balanced way actually boosts your emotional and empathic energy levels making you feel better overall.

#Balance: Seek equilibrium in all things including work, home, play, negative inputs, altruistic outputs, etc.

#Awareness: include your emotions and physical wellbeing in your assessment of the state of things.

In dealing with sustained stress and danger, we suffer. Empathy fatigue, like depression, is a protective reaction to this suffering. Due to neglecting ourselves in favor of caring for others. In this, reject the temptation to isolate. Practice #awareness #balance and #connection as a balm.
