Looking up at the stars at night. I still can’t fathom beyond our spec of dust we love on. So much more out there to learn and discover and understand. #thoughts#space
PSA to the Internet:
Star WARS is about the timeless theme of the hero’s journey and the battle between good and evil.
Star TREK is about our ability to overcome our prejudices and work together toward a common goal.
Just because they’re both in space does NOT make them the same thing, nor does it mean one is inherently better than the other.
Sometimes, I look around at everything that's going horribly in the world, and I just get frustrated and, or, depressed. But I'e been working hard, lately, to remember to return to my breath. I can do more good in the world if I am steady, if I am capable of holding the path and not giving in to sorrow, anger, or despair.
Creation--the act of creativity--seems to me the best path forward. To forge a better world, we are required to become our better selves - which is not to say our "improved" selves - but, rather, our most holistic self.
Some days are going to be overwhelming.
And these systems around us won't vanish without a fight.
But maybe I can learn to be at peace in the middle of that fight.
This is the first time I #regret being on a single user #mastodon instance.
Wanted to see some post about what is happening at #BurningMan and I have no relevant posts in my instance.
Before the #fediverse it was so easy to search for something on #Twitter.
une youtubeuse zéro déchets revient sur des préconceptions et méthodes qu'elle avait, et exprime quelle a changé certains trucs en se rendant compte que ça pouvait être contreproductif, culpabilisant ou toxique, par exemple le "zero waste" en santé.
ou le "boeuf zero waste", qui abîme quand même la planiète.
There needs to be better awareness and support structure for postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. It is truly horrifying and when you’re a parent, you often don’t realize it’s happening until things are really bad. The mother has really scary intrusive thoughts (sometimes intensely violent) and often does not feel safe to open up and get help. There are many tragic stories out there where things spiraled completely out of control and ended up in infanticide or suicide, sometimes both.
Mothers and their partners/spouses preparing to have children need to learn how to identify it and have a plan for what to do if it happens. It’s more common than you might think, and support is needed when it happens.
So many people have this fantasy of getting rich enough to have a little farm. We all need that connection to the land, a slower way of life and a little social connection but we are stuck in these modern jobs that pay the bills and don’t have the resources to own a farm. What if we had appartments and coworking spaces in proximity to farms/urban farms, and people could spend an hour or so each day doing some farm work, then do their remote job the rest of the day? #thoughts#farm#community
both free-thinkers/individualists/leaders and the opposite (followers) are necessary for a functioning group
the more backup plans (exits/entries into the tunnels) you have, the less likely it is that you’ll end up trapped or with no options.
sheer luck in numbers can be very useful. if the group does lots of different things at once, odds are higher that one of them will find something the group wants or needs.
not every member of a group needs to be self-sufficient. the more members of a group there are, the truer this is.
Just trying lots of things is one of the surest methods of success.
Simply because most or all of the group is doing one thing doesn’t mean it’s the right thing. Since groups have decision-making inertia, it’s possible that they fell into doing that thing either through sheer chance, or because of a fact that was true once but no longer is.
I'm wondering if you have any #thoughts on the "#Web#Environment#Integrity" proposal by some #Google folks. I wrote a short thread about it, but would be interested in hearing your thoughts before reading it (if you do read it - I'm not demanding it 😀 ).
My wife and her best friend accused me of having an affair, then got angry when I didn't have one
