imagine being cursed to a lifetime as a sentient ice cream cup. capable of shouting this and only this. hoping someone will one day understand and end your suffering

(moonstone beach in RI is magic, by the way.)

moonstone beach at sunset; a mix of bright metallic blues and oranges, with the crescent moon shining above. Rocks break again a rocky shore, and you can see the same plover warning sign poking from the side.

I’m always happy seeing the lengths to which piping plovers are protected at moonstone beach 🥹

Sign on a rocky beach at night that reads: no trespassing - bird nesting area. Entering this area is a violation of federal law. And little drawings of plovers on the bottom!

i do value sorts every few months and they are *tremendously helpful* for how i experience the world, and also very funny for how the stock values are chosen and defined. like I was thinking more "serving the community" than like, excellent in service lol, but.

Values Exercise page with five values listed.
1. Ecology / environment - awareness of natural resources
2. Friendship - strong ties with family, friends, co-workers or members of a certain community
3. Service - placing importance on serving others with quality and value
4. Health - placing importance on physical and emotional well-being
5. Spirituality - appreciating the need to understand one's inner self and its relationship with the world

cheryl reeve and sophie cunningham on what it means to uplift and protect #wnba

Andrew Dukowitz
@adukeMN
X.com
Cheryl Reeve on the trans sports bans from her perspective of being a leader in women's sports
"Of course it weighs on me, the attacks on trans people, the attacks that they've gone through... it seems like it's got way more aggressive, it's sort of sickening when the issues they are trying to tackle are really not issues, the number of transgender athletes they are now making laws for and creating a problem, to get elected...what I'm hopeful for is that people have gotten themselves more educated and they understand that, that's not actually a problem... exclusion is never the answer, separate isn't equal, and trans lives matter, so to take away something that's so valuable that sports brings to young people in particular and what it does, as I have a youngster, encourages you to be part of a team and what it gives you in terms of teamwork, leadership, competitiveness, all the things, they have every right to that as well"

Sophie Cunningham article on ESPN.com: You say she's a "MAGA Barbie," as some corners of the internet have taken to calling her? Projection, she says, because of what she looks like and where she's from. She'll weigh in on how to "protect women's sports," she says, because she's in that world and feels qualified to speak to that world. "I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,'" she says. "I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."

A white latine queer squatting again - but this time the camera is blurrier as they try to hold their white tabby kitty in the frame. The cat is sort of long and non-resisting, but doesn’t look entirely thrilled.

working on this - this specific diagram is quite useful.. also very funny that the window of tolerance looks like a tombstone 💀💀💀 you‘ll be regulated when you’re super dead!!

“ STRESS
There are two places outside the window of tolerance: either toward hyperarousal or hypoarousal.
HYPERAROUSAL
WINDOW
OF
TOLERANCE
Optimal zone; able to deal with stress effectively
HYPOAROUSAL
Fight-or-flight response, emotional reactivity, panic, rage, hypervigilance, stress
Decreased overall nervous system response, numbness, detachment, slowness, fatigue, shutting down, dissociation”

walking squats are soul affirming. it’s that nervous system experience of staggering forward in the mud and finding a way to stay poised and powerful. also gay. 💖🔪💅

video game level designed by a pondrous periwinkle when

a distinct snaking pattern appearing in sand on a brown stone. the path bends about and features little dotted imprints - perhaps of periwinkle legs? we see the periwinkle in question near the center of the photo - but at one possible end of a path?? many questions!
