Mental Health Monday 1. Disconnect from devices for at least an hour. The world will wait. 2. Focus on yourself and see if your body needs something in particular, and what you can do to make it better. 3. Do your form of mental meditation or other calming activities. #takecareofyou #selflove

The fact that the "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler is a dystopian tale happening in 2025 is chilling based on recent events. #Resist #Reclaim #BeLoud #ShowUp

I think what I need today is a dose of fresh air, a light trek through the woods, and perhaps a waterfall. #searchforpeace #freshair #mountainsarecalling #andimustgo

1/2 10 years ago, an experience with troubled teens had me question parenting of such. My troubled teen and I decided together how best to help her. Others had been literally kidnapped by thugs hired by their parents and forced to this rehab. They called it being "gooned." It's now happening...

Rereading a beloved book series that I read a decade ago. Remembered the amazing writing and characters, but forgot about the heartbreaks and the gut punches and the truisms of time healing/not healing. Didn't expect to cry so hard today over a fictional death. #FoolsErrand #Fitz

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦! #PresidentZelensky, my personal apologies to you and your country for the deeply disturbing treatment you received in the WH yesterday. Betrayal at the hands of DJT and JDV is disgraceful, and I am disgusted at their behavior. It was clearly a setup. #standwithUkraine

In my multidecades of life, I have never felt compelled to contact any elected or appointed government representative. Suddenly it seems imperative, yet also feels far too late. #resist. #fight. #stand.

Interesting "hack" (I am starting to hate that word, maybe "help" is better) that I have found works well for me. Sometimes ADHD symptoms include forgetting where I left something. If I speak the words, I can recall better. "My phone is in my jacket pocket." Yes. Yes, it is! #ADHD

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately. The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

All this debris just fell out of the base of my tall floor lamp, including the base itself coming loose/apart from the whole device. Guess I need a new lamp...
