Things that give me hope... Acts of kindness and compassion-warm beacons of light-and we need them in these dark and uncertain times. Thank you @jongraywb.bsky.social Maybe even if we shine for just a moment at a time...we can each help to light the collective pathway forward?

I am watching the Senate vote today...I wonder how much money it takes to get someone to sell their soul, tell bold face lies with a smile, and relieve themselves of their humanity. Maybe it's a le carte, or perhaps there are package deals?

Thank you for sharing this! It was powerful. I have a job talk coming up and I was having second thoughts but Felicity's courage helped me to ground in my own.

Yes! I love a low maintenance routine. I use a silk bonnet...never mastered the night wrap.

I feel this. For me its in academic spaces especially...a neurodivergent grad student once explained to me that they could relate to the discrimination I experience as a Black woman, because of the ableism they experience from "other neurotypical" people...not me though! I'm one of the good ones 🫠

Things that bring me joy: Spaces that celebrate the wisdom of the ancestors. #addtoblacksky

Things that bring me peace: The great lakes when the waves and the winds are calm.

Blue sky with a few light clouds above a calm blue lake with a small cove thats framed by trees and a rocky shore that leds up to a grassy hill. Its autumn so the trees on the shore have bits of yellow, brown, and green.

Yes! The fear-based ads (in Michigan)...and the constant mailers have been 🫠.

3/3 And then meh I stopped watching because...several things that made me go hmm, and the battles take like 20+ episodes?!?! I still have some love for it though, and it brightened a dreary day when I saw this bit of art.

2/3 In 2022-2023 Dragon Ball Z was the go-to show. It got me through flights to Atlanta x2, Florida, and Iceland....We (spouse and I) made it from Episode 1 into the Cell arc.

Things that bring me joy: Art in unexpected places. 1/3 I'm a nervous flyer. My 'coping skills kit' for flights has...peppermint tea, lavender essential oil, play dough, Loops ear plugs, the Plum Village app with my favorite meditations, and a go-to show.

Dust covered back doors of a white cargo van are used as a canvas for gray on white DBZ art. On the left door there is a (super?) Saiyan...maybe Goku. He looks like he ate a senzu bean or just got out of the bacta tank like pod thing...refreshed. On the right is another Saiyan-Vegeta? He's been roughed up a bit. In in the bottom right corner Squidward of SpongeBob Square Pants cowers in fear.

Best Halloween yet 🎃 So many adorable costumes! Favorites were Ash and Misty with two baby Pikachu and baby Sully and Mike.

Things that quiet my mind: Plum Village Songs...E8 When I walk on this lovely path My heart is at peace. My feet embrace the earth And my eyes embrace the sky
