“On the one side is a portion of society that fears nothing more than the discontinuation of #normalcy …. On the other is that portion, which having witnessed the horror, is simply unable to continue as before …. The fear of some comfort disappearing collides with a different fear — a fear that […]

The Contradictions at the Heart of the American Revolution – Part XXVII — The Harding & Coolidge Administrations: Normalcy, Corporate Conservatism, and the Illusion of Stability Part XXVII — The Harding & Coolidge Administrations: Normalcy, Corporate Conservatism, and the Illusion of Stability The presidencies of Warren G. Harding (1921–1923) and Calvin Coolidge (1923–1929) define the political character of the 1920s — an era of economic expansion, cultural transformation, racial violence, and deep structural inequality. Harding promised a “return to normalcy” after the upheavals of Progressivism and World War I.Coolidge promised that “the business of America is business.”Together, they presided over a decade that appeared prosperous on the surface but was riddled with contradictions beneath.

🎼 #Men are titillated by that delicate line
Between sex song & nursery rhyme
Over time, you'll not remember normalcy
Because #normalcy is what you see, #repeatedly
So there will be nothing to miss
It must be so relieving for you to hear this 🎶

You think your penis is very important

The good old days... Will we ever have them again?

The Collective Psychosis We Call “Normal” - Dualistic Unity What if the sense of self we call “normal” functions like a shared psychosis—mistaking internal narratives for reality? This article explores identity as a collective hallucination and how psychological distress exposes a structure most of us never question.

Normality stabilizes discomfort by distributing it socially. What feels safer when distress is shared rather than examined?

#Normalcy #SelfInquiry

By the standards of Western #normalcy, where the possibility of missile landing on one’s house or a military sniper murdering one’s #children is so implausible as to be indistinguishable from #sciencefiction, even minimal inconvenience is tantamount to #apocalypse.

-Omar El Akkad: One Day,

Every derailment of #normalcy matters when what’s becoming normal is a #genocide.

Finally left work on time today. First ever salaried half-day, and it felt surreal — almost like a little rebellion against the hustle. #newbeginnings #worklife #balance #salariedlife #refresh #mentalspace #normalcy #boundarysetting #wellbeing

Please start talking about important issues going on instead of just responding to Orange.

I appreciate the fight against Orange but he cannot lead the narrative

Thank you Gov Newsome

We’ve Hit Peak Denial. Here’s Why We Can’t Turn Away From Reality We are living through a terrible time in humanity. Here’s why we tend to stick our head in the sand and why we need to pull it out, fast

“We need to work harder to catch ourselves in the act of staying silent or avoiding uncomfortable information & do more real-time course correcting. We need to guard against lowering our #standards for #normalcy.”: buff.ly/pHzoDKI

The Fine Lines of Chronic Illness By Nina Briscoe

“It isn’t hard to see why slipping into a sense of #normalcy was so easy. That taste of #freedom felt good, felt great! Until it didn’t. Was it worth it? Yes! Until it wasn’t.”: buff.ly/48fA9Jb

…Carry on

Like the school bell ringing,
lessons resume, pens etch.
Order reclaimed, steadfast.

Normal service restored,
clock chimes the known hour.
Time’s old pact honoured.
