I think I am going to have to force a Social Media shut off for a while.
We've been miserable as of late and being online only seems to make it worse.
Can't figure out how to block the news, so I guess we will have to watch ourselves and not swipe left to read the news multiple times a day like we have been.
Gonna have to practice a lot of mindfulness.

YO… just so you all know! he doesn’t think they’re eggs! this type of bird is a seriema and they use that funky neck-whip to kill lizards and snakes. he is actually Just Having A Good Time
I WOULD PAY TEN TIMES AS MUCH FOR CHOCOLATE IF IT MEANT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SLAVES IN THE WORLD? HOW IS THIS ANY KIND OF PROBLEM.
good news, you can! the company’s called Tony’s Chocolonely and their entire purpose is to make slave-free chocolate and reform the chocolate industry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony%27s_Chocolonely
Whole Foods carries it. If you don’t want to support an Amazon-owned company, World Market carries it. You can also buy it directly from the company.
It’s the best chocolate I’ve ever had and it’s 100% slave free. Tony’s Chocolonely works really hard to push for transparency within the chocolate industry and actually has and is following an action plan to eliminate slavery within cocoa production. They’re good people who make good chocolate.

fucking finally
I know that the voting system in this country is messed up, but it’s still important to vote because four more years of Trump will more than likely make america fall into a wave of fascism with irreversible effects. It’s an awful system, everyone knows that, but we still live here. Not voting because you don’t believe in the system won’t help anyone. Trump needs to get out of office so no one else dies from his negligence and not voting because you don’t like it is contributing to the problem.
You act as though demonstrably fewer people will die and/or suffer under Biden. Falling into fascism has already happened for fucking decades, well before the pink hat brigade picked trump as the One Enemy Cause. (And even that requires ignoring this nation's genocidal foundation)
Him being more overt only creates this gaping divide between him and "the rest," for those who believe the optics instead of the substance.
Now GTFO my inbox with the same tired shit that so many people fell for, that got us where we are now.
Vomitous
can we please stop pretending this shit is good?!!?! What the fuck!!!!!
I don’t understand why this is a bad thing??
whats sold as inspirational here is somebody whose fear of being fired and having their source of food and shelter yanked away from them forced them to push themselves to unhealthy lengths
Walking isn’t unhealthy, whoever told you that is lazy. Dude got a job for a company and wanted to prove his reliability, he could’ve given up and not showed up but unlike most people he made a commitment and stuck to it and guess what. That commitment paid off. Its like you people are unable to handle when. Someone it’s doing better than you.
You have never walked 20 miles ever
whats with all the fucking bootlickers on this site?
he literally left his house at midnight.
How does someone see a 20 mile, eight hour walk as “a good work ethic” and not as a man whose been driven beyond his limits to ensure he doesn’t lose the one thing that keeps him from starving to death I mean what the fuck
God you people are fucking weak
sign your car over to me and walk to work to prove how strong you are
Even for soldiers who have trained specifically for such things, a 20-mile march is a fucking grueling experience. Nobody should have to do that and then be expected to work for eight hours. That is literally insane.

not to flex but i’ve never watched a pewdiepie video
When I was a kid I had a reputation for faking sick because nothing much seemed to be wrong with me. Years later I found out my symptoms were psychosomatic due to the constant stress of untreated mental health issues. I spent 20 years in chronic pain because the adults around me just saw a child who didn't want to be in class
Listen to your goddamn kids.
...i just lost a lot of leftover guilt from missing so many days in elementary school.
Children SHOULD miss school when they are feeling unwell, physical or mentally. And every child is going to get sick sometimes. That is normal. It’s a bad sign if a child never misses a day of school--that is often a sign of neglect or abuse. Children are children, they do not have the same stamina, authority, or the same communication skills to articulate their needs that adults have.
Normalize giving kids days off for their mental health.
Every month my mom allotted me and my brother one mental health day. If we aren't feeling well emotionally or physically we can say we're cashing in our day and roll back into bed no questions asked about school. School is no longer on the table its, "are you okay", " whats going on", "would you like space from me right now" "is something going on I should know about", etc. I'm so glad she did that for me and him, especiallu with us both having mental health issues as kids.
THIS. THIS IS SUCH GOOD PARENTING.
i can’t find the right way to say this but. the degree to which bodies are policed is so massive and overwhelming that it can traumatize you & then people have the nerve to be like “you’re vain” for caring …. like actually i care because i have to bc i’ve been trained to bc if i don’t care, i don’t have the privilege to get away with it. like i’d love if it was as simple as “some people just care more” but it’s more like. society is genuinely cruel to some and the judgement it enacts on certain bodies is incredibly sinister and overwhelming. it’s not just one outfit or one body trait you have to worry about when you go out in public. it’s legitimately all of them. and you worry to avoid judgement and harassment. and that level of constant self-monitoring is extremely exhausting.
Errors in Thinking that Create Anxiety
1. All-or-nothing thinking: Looking at things in black-or-white categories, with no middle ground (“If I fall short of perfection, I’m a total failure.”)
2. Overgeneralization: Generalizing from a single negative experience, expecting it to hold true forever (“I didn’t get hired for the job. I’ll never get any job.”)
3. The mental filter: Focusing on the negatives while filtering out all the positives. Noticing the one thing that went wrong, rather than all the things that went right.
4. Diminishing the positive: Coming up with reasons why positive events don’t count (“I did well on the presentation, but that was just dumb luck.”)
5. Jumping to conclusions: Making negative interpretations without actual evidence. You act like a mind reader (“I can tell she secretly hates me.”) or a fortune teller (“I just know something terrible is going to happen.”)
6. Catastrophizing: Expecting the worst-case scenario to happen (“The pilot said we’re in for some turbulence. The plane’s going to crash!”)
7. Emotional reasoning: Believing that the way you feel reflects reality (“I feel frightened right now. That must mean I’m in real physical danger.”)
8. ‘Shoulds’ and ‘should-nots’: Holding yourself to a strict list of what you should and shouldn’t do and beating yourself up if you break any of the rule
9. Labeling: Labeling yourself based on mistakes and perceived shortcomings (“I’m a failure; an idiot; a loser.”)
10. Personalization: Assuming responsibility for things that are outside your control (“It’s my fault my son got in an accident. I should have warned him to drive carefully in the rain.”)

I love when I’m in the middle of speaking and suddenly I’m like wait I literally don’t agree with what I’m saying
normalize suddenly saying "wait hang on I might have just talked myself out of this" mid rant
normalize realising you are wrong
normalize owning up to your mistakes
normalize changing your viewpoint/opinion based on new information that you have acquired
normalize not supporting a standpoint for the sake of not "giving your opponent the satisfaction of winning the argument"

I know everyone wants to clown on a certain rich couple with an absurdly named baby using california’s 26 character law, but that law isn’t good actually… it makes perfectly normal names like José illegal… like you shouldn’t really be upholding that fucking law it’s obvious why they made it….
People have problems in california all the time because of this law, which makes their names illegal.
california will change the name in the record to fit the 26 character thing and if you have no idea how they decided to spell your name with characters that can’t perfectly be translated into english … you’re fucked and they’ll call your passport a fake because it wont be 26 characters….
like… this law is Bad Actually.
Stop acting like it’s saving you from an absurd name when really it’s just fucking over pretty much everyone normal.
It’s just cultural genocide babes. It isn’t that deep, it isn’t protecting the sanctity of baby names. It’s just racism.
maybe … we should discuss why so many folks thought the 26 english character law protected babies from having absurd names… without considering… every language outside of english….?
Why didn’t they just bancusing numbers and symbols (with the exception of dashes) in names?? That would leave all variants of letters available and still somewhat prevent ridiculous names.
Forcing the 26 standard English letters makes no sense.
… it’s the racism.
Boy howdy do I feel this. Not a single one of my Thai students’ names would’ve come within spitting distance of 26 characters.
the 26 english characters encompass … 44 phonemes [sounds]
… there are about 2,160 phonemes documented in human language…
wow i sure do love that california only legally accounts for 44 of those sounds. sure is great and not racist at all and totally didn’t stem from their anti-asian sentiments and their hate for latinos that they totally don’t have a really long history of being terrible towards among many other targeted groups….
Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!
Sometimes DID is half of your brain yelling “I’m so scared! I’m so scared and so scared and it never gets better!” and the other half saying “I know baby, I know and it’s going to be ok. Let’s remember to breathe, we’re safe now and we’re going to be ok.”
