On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

me too. On the one hand I completely understand, that pictures can be dangerous on the other hand I often have the impression that media and police do have their pictures anyway and that this fear of cameras often makes life miserable for those, that actually want to use their pictures to support the protest.

Dr. Szilárd Gyalay develops geophysical models to infer the history of planetary interiors and surfaces from spacecraft observations. This has included his search for sub-surface oceans within Saturn's icy satellites and his models of the thermal evolution of porous layers in the Martian crust.
Yeah, this is some scam called “Kindness Science” or something like that. I just find her completely off-putting. She’s always acting, especially when feigning sincerity.
I've come across this amongst 'survivors' from rehabs in the UK . It made me think of the 'Church of Scientology' founded by another grifter ( = shill) L. Ron Hubbard. It's all bollox but loved by the gullible.
I am still unlearning hustle culture, my goodness.
I'm having quite a nice and calm Saturday, even having helped out at the local community this morning. The rest of the day has been absolutely in my own time. I even napped.
But my brain keeps trying to tell me to be productive... without compassion or Grace. "Your home needs care." "You should exercise." "You have time now. Go be creative." "The garden needs tending." "Goodness, why can't you just do ANY of these things? You know they are good for you."
But I know that's not me. It is my thoughts, that have learned what a human (like me) should spend her time on.. How she should be. What she should act and think. What her opinions should be.
I feel a deep sense of calm beneath it all. A sense of presence and "now-ness", that no productivity or effectiveness or goals setting can campare to.
I really love my drive and my ambition. But I am also starting to love my own rhythm and time.
Having stepped away from "9-5", or at least something that resembles it. I truly feel grateful

Having stepped away from "9-5", or at least something that resembles it. I truly feel grateful to be able to decide when and where to work. But it has to be at the cost of letting go of hustle culture. Otherwise I'll burn out. And I don't want that.
And that's what I'm heading in my brain... The burnout thoughts. But I'm letting them go.
I'm setting a boundary here. A line. My life is my own, and I get to choose the thoughts I will listen to. And the ones I have written above, are the ones I no longer choose to listen to.
I no longer listen to the thoughts that demean me, belittle me, berate me, bullies me. For they are not my thoughts.
I choose love. Peace. Joy. Authenticity. Realness. All the good stuff, that enriches my life, and not just makes me go faster to my grave.
And apropos productivity. I am a business. I do offer things.
So far, I do offer a membership - the Feel Good Rebel Academy. Hang out with me, and experience life's deliciousness. Audio activation. Ask for more. 😊 #feelgoodrebel
I love that you are consistently offering people a view of freedom from imposed boundaries. Presenting the opportunity to live more of their lives on their own terms. Not THE way, but an option. Refreshing. 🥰
Lots to unpack here. There's a concern in parts of evangelicalism about how many evangelicals get more discipleship (in terms of time & attention) from their favored political leaders than from their church. It seems he was squarely in the middle of this. The idea that he was anti-abortion but OK with killing people is a big giveaway.
Also the flavor of evangelicalism he is part of is one that seems much more swayed by emotional appeals and feelings than others. In this radically polarized culture we find ourselves and with the absolute nutso right wing media, there's lots of emotion in which to immerse oneself.
In no way is this intended to be an excuse, but an explanation of how someone who seemed, on one hand, to want to spread the gospel, who on the other decided to kill people in cold blood. It's crazy and entirely inconsistent. And, he's only one out of who knows how many.
@JustToOdd The worst people in my town are the preachers who are preaching hate and supporting the right wing. I grew up Christian and the hypocrisy of pastors preaching Christ and hate for anyone who is not a white Christian at the same time has driven me from religion.
And I hate that that is so many people's experiences. And that our media amplifies those jerks instead of the good pastors and churches (yes, they do exist--like Fred Rogers).
@JustToOdd I was kicked out of Catechism class at age 7 for asking the obvious question. My older brother was kicked out the same day for being related to me. The church is weak. If it can’t make you afraid of them, then they are afraid of you. Fear Driven Religion is the undoing of religion as far as I’m concerned.

One of Hitler's toilets ended up at an auto repair shop in a small town in New Jersey. A local man bought Hitler's yacht, and put the toilet in his garage. All this and more on the Toilets of the World.
