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.

I'm heavily influenced by Wilhelm Reich and am currently in a 4 year post grad training in Reichian psychotherapy. Please feel free to get in touch or link and share my details, thank you!

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

I used to quite like Tyler Cowen but I heard him recently talking about new works by Shaespeare generated by AI and found that so profoundly dumb that I've not listened to him since.

Dan Lowe @danlowe.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Why do I think this is the first time any of these people have looked at a painting?

Jung & the Ancestors - Sandra Easter is pretty interesting depending on your tolerance for Jung. Mine is low so I've not finished it but it's a good book.

Not read it but Martin Coleman's Communing with Spirits. Finding Soul on the Path of Orisa - Tobe Correal has 2 excellent chapters.

@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.

I'd welcome a link summarising if there's one to hand.

They could do with articulating this stuff to the wider public then, because everyone seems aware of the failures but few of this work.

Both can be true, cities can be thriving and vibrant, and attractive places to live, this pushes up rents which (in London anyway) are frankly insane. I appreciate Glen's resistance to doomerism.

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.

Well that's because Trump has never done a single solitary thing against Russia and Russian interests.

How does this person know "precisely" the information they need in the first place? What about chance, inspiration, serendipity? What an asshat.

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.

That has the formatting to suggest a scientific paper and an abstract but that is very much not what it is

I wanted to be a therapist since I was probably 20 and am now doing it, 30 years later so that counts I think?

Islamaphobia is a deep part of our history, going back to the Crusades.

I'm a bit disappointed in the blandness of Labour's offering here. Cummings gave us madness, blogs, book lists and Bismarck. McSweeny is far too dull in comparison.

Dan Lowe @danlowe.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Being an adult is basically a series of ever deepening betrayals of that 12 year old.

Let's just indulge this for one second - if this were true, why wd the sex workers involved carry out a bad arson attack, rather than idk, going to the press?

Fair! I'd forgotten about him. Felt sorry for the girls though.

I thought the British song was actually pretty good and wondered if I could see our post-Brexit relationships mirrored in that vote.

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.

Well without too many spoilers, there are lots of classic vampire tropes, so it'd probably be a bit much!

Must make horror a tough watch with her

100

It's not relentlessly horrific, lots of it is a kind of exploration of black music history BUT the second half of the film is a bit of a bloodbath and absolutely contains some jumpscares BUT imo, go and see it anyway, it's great.

The best occult horror I've seen is A Dark Song. Its reasonably accurate on the occult stuff.

I'd emphasize the 3rd there which is p good? Tying up loose ends with an eye to the future. Tho turns to 22, which is a hard hexagram to get hold of IMO.

Well thank you for making it available!

020

That implies there's not an evident point of change in the situation. K'un is not a bad hexagram as it's fertile soil.

Two psychologists have a reassuring, science-based chat about screens, phones and social media

Really interesting & useful chat on teens & screens from @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social and Pete Etchells, esp if yr reading The Anxious Generation. I think reading Twitter for ages had made me forget nuance was possible. youtu.be/CDklRSfl8og?...

"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.

I'm on a few, mostly Patreon offshoots - Aidan Wachter's is particularly good.

I'd like to find more magical people to follow though I suspect the best conversations (and guides to. practice!) are now on Discord.

You make it sound so simple! (I totally agree with you)
