A recipe for regrounding after an everyday-white-supremacist incident

Literally the recipe that worked for me 5 min ago.

Ingredients:

The voice in your head

Youtube, spotify, or your itunes playlist

Recipe:

Say: "i love me." However many times you need. As you say it, think about you. Your glory, your beauty, your power, your skin, your smile, your uplifting friends. Youll feel goodness coming on. If it starts to fade in the following moments, do it again.

Listen to music that loves you. And blast it. In your headphones, or better yet blast it out loud. I happened to listen to Nina Simone's Ooh Child and India Arie's Video.

💛❤💙

Anyone who has ever scanned the bookshelves of a new girlfriend or boyfriend- or peeked inside his or her medicine cabinet- understands this implicitly; you can learn as much - or more - from one glance at a private space as you can from hours of exposure to a public face.

Creativity vs Effiency : FvF Workplace with Christoph Niemann in Berlin

For our latest FvF Workplaces, we visit the Berlin studio of internationally renowned illustrator Christoph Niemann. Creating drawings for the likes of The New Yorker and Zeit Magazin, he is somewhat of a legend in the creative scene.

Christoph discusses his aversion to efficiency when it comes to creating, why 2H pencils are his preferred tool to start a sketch and how returning to a drawing or project can alter your opinion, on Freunde von Freunden.

To survive, we humans need to be able to do a handful of things: breathe, of course. And drink and eat. Those are obvious.

We’re going to focus now on a less obvious — but no less vital — human function: learning. Because new research out today in the journal Science sheds light on the very building blocks of learning.

Imagine an 11-month-old sitting in a high chair opposite a small stage where you might expect, say, a puppet show. Except this is a lab at Johns Hopkins University. Instead of a puppeteer, a researcher is rolling a red and blue striped ball down a ramp, toward a little wall at the bottom.

Even babies seem to know the ball can’t go through that wall, though not necessarily because they learned it. It’s what some scientists call core knowledge — something, they say, we’re born with.

Why Babies Love (And Learn From) Magic Tricks

"I invented a country called Manizao. It’s between India and China. The president is a girl named Mahava and she lives in a little red house that looks like The White House but it’s little and it’s red. And there are lots of beaches. My friend lives on one of the beaches. He’s a bird but he’s also a builder. He lives in a house that he built that is half beach house and half real house. I don’t know how he did it, but I think he glued them together. And kinda everywhere you look there is a restaurant. The most popular restaurant is called Savory Hello. Everyone in Manizao loves Savory Hello because they only serve savory things."
