bsky.app/profile/gsoh... I always value Glen O'Hara's insights, so am excited to dig into this and in no way is reading about the politics of my youth an escape from the horrendous timeline we seem to be in.

The total lack of seriousness that UK elites show while facing an obvious pre-war/ grey war situation in most policy realms is atrocious. Small boats? Yeah whatever mate.

Finally set myself up a website for my practice. If you are curious about starting psychotherapy, or know of anyone in a similar position, please feel free to contact me. I specialise in body-based or somatic psychotherapy, that is therapy which incorporates the body and breath

@astra.bsky.social on the movement we need: "I think it’s also anti-nihilistic. It’s anti-despair. It’s like, 'No, this is actually a beautiful place, and it’s worth fighting for, and other people are worth fighting for.'" truthout.org/audio/traito...

“The people we’re up against are traitors to this planet, and its people, and the other species who we share the earth with. And so, we think that there’s something potentially valuable about explicitly committing to here ... to saying, ‘We are the people who are going to fight for one another, and fight for the livability and habitability of this planet, of this place.’” – Astra Taylor

I'd ask all of you and @jcbslide.bsky.social to think about these questions: Can we know what’s true? Can we debate and decide fairly? Can we hold power accountable? If you answer "no" to those questions, then I'd argue you aren't living in a functional democracy, just a performance of one.

Still true: *Britain is a success story *Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well *Multiculturalism is popular *Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration *Nostalgia is increasingly weird *Britain is incredibly safe *Levels of social cohesion are high Don't let them gaslight you.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

What #therapy and #counselling actually looks like:

THERAPY
ISN'T
• Giving advice
• Quick fixes
• Someone telling you what to do
• Only for people in crisis
WE DON'T "FIX' PEOPLE IN THERAPY
- BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T BROKEN.
• We witness.
• We hold.
• We help make meaning.
WHAT THERAPY
IS (AND ISN'T)
THERAPY IS
• A collaborative process
• A space to explore thoughts, patterns, and pain safely
• A relationship that fosters refiection, healing, and growth
• For anyone who wants to live with more awareness and intention
YOU DON'T NEED TO WAIT UNTIL IT'S UNBEARABLE.
Therapy can be proactive, empowering, and deeply nourishing.

"The basic truth in all teachings of mankind are alike and amount to only one common thing: To find your way to the thing you feel when you love dearly, or when you create, or when you build your home, or when you give birth to your children or when you look at the stars at night.” Wilhelm Reich.

Some interesting thoughts on the political idea known as Anarchism.

"Anarchists believe that power corrupts and those
who spend their entire lives seeking power are the
very last people who should have it. Anarchists also
believe that our present economic system is more
likely to reward people for selfish and unscrupulous
behavior than for being decent, caring human beings.
Most people feel that way. The only difference is
that most people don’t think there’s anything that
can be done about it, or anyway — and this is what
the faithful servants of the powerful are always
most likely to insist — anything that won’t end
up making things even worse."
.

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture. That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

Farage and Badenoch are very strongly plugged in to the new US power networks changing their country's track from a liberal to an authoritarian democracy. They will be watching the lessons, what can and can't be achieved to fundamentally alter state and society, extremely closely.

🧵 I want to follow up this earlier thread by examining why the USA finds itself in the state it does at the moment; the process of disordered discourse capturing state institutions and how it inevitably results in a slide towards authoritarianism, a process we're seeing unfold before our very eyes.

Let’s start with a critical point: Not all disordered discourse leads to institutional capture. Some narratives, like Flat Earth or Bigfoot conspiracies, remain fringe, self-contained, and irrelevant to policy. But others infiltrate formal institutions, and that’s where the danger escalates.

If you see this quote with a horror movie you love. It doesn't get the same love as his other features but Us is so fractured and haunting, I loved it at release and I still do.

Still from the movie Us (Jordan Peele, 2019). A fairground at night with an illuminated attraction in centre frame with the words 'Find Yourself' over the entrance. A figure stands in the foreground silhouetted against the lights with their back to the viewer.

Democracy isn’t just voting every few years-it’s about having a real say in decisions that shape our lives. When people feel unheard, frustration grows, and bad actors exploit it. Strengthening democracy means expanding civic engagement, from local initiatives to national policy.
