Meditate today, even for just five minutes. The key to dealing with resistance to practice is not to try to fight it, but bring it with you. Name it and welcome it. Make a seat for your resistance next to you at your meditation spot.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

This by Dan Savage is I think important to keep top of mind. It speaks to the point I made earlier that bad news is never the only news.

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

I recently discovered this book (Murder at the End of the World) and author (Stuart Turton) and highly recommend both. It’s a genre-bending scifi mystery. #booksky bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I haven’t been able to write any new @psychologytoday.com content this week, but this old content (written with @joshbartok.bsky.social) on being intentional with our attention was a good reminder (although more complex now). #therapistsky #psychology www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind...

Just a reminder that law licenses come from the states, not the federal government. So states CAN simply disbar or otherwise discipline any lawyer who argues in favor of, say, stripping birthright citizenship by executive order or that Indigenous people aren't citizens. AND EVERY STATE SHOULD.

There will be so much to do to counter all that is coming. One immediate (and ongoing) small action that is accessible to all of us is acts of kindness to counter the dehumanizing impact cruelty can have on us. #psychscisky #therapistsky #oppositeaction www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind...
