This is such an excellent articulation by of the steps that go beyond defunding the police and beyond punitive systems that do little to make a community better or stronger or safer.

Image is a screen shot from a Black Lives Matter email: “We demand a comprehensive reimagining a public safety. We must completely change how we think about true safety in this country. Our leaders cannot continue to depend on and support systems born out of white supremacy. We have to build a world beyond punishment. We must center healing, care, accountability, and joy we have to empower our communities to take care of one another. Only then can we truly be safe.”

I have listened to every one of Nathan and Lee (and previously )’s episodes. It was so amazing to be there in-person for their documentary screening and talk. Listening for… what 2.5 hrs?… was easy because they are so engaging. Mind you, I do t sleep at night any more cuz of the content but oh well. 🤪

Thanks for all your amazing analyses of conspiracy theories!!

Was practicing! The paddleboard actually made it easier cuz I wasn’t afraid to fall… which I did a lot. Eventually I managed to fall into the paddleboard and not into the water, which was an accomplishment.

I am so eternally grateful to Jamie and her studio . I found a welcoming circus training space just before Covid and then throughout the pandemic when possible. Without that space my mental health would have suffered significantly during Covid. I was so glad I found circus when I did. Sadly, after all the challenges of covid the space flooded and they need help rebuilding. Being a small business during these last 4 years has been haaaaaaard! No one needed extra hardships. I’m sorry you got hit again Jamie! I’m happy to support the gofundme and grateful others have too.

I just got the new update for MacOS and see that safari now has tabs for different browser workspaces…. I’m soooooooo excited about this. I am so giddy and feel like jumping out of my body. I can’t contain my excitement.

Then I look down…

And I realize that as amazing as this update is (and yes this is an amazing update IMO) my excitement is a bit of a misattribution… it’s partially a liquid high.

Delayed cord clamping is the default in many holistic (and forever) birthing practices… but it’s nice to see this pop up in a more mainstream magazine (). In the article they reference a meta-analysis involving 10 000 premature births from several countries and found survival rates increased by waiting even 2 min to clamp. It reduces the demand on the baby’s heart. Great to see this!

A did a little circus performance… invoked a tiny bit of Candy but like a more of a serious version. Young Candy was spontaneous and wild. This Candy is practiced and trained.

I have always known that weather affects me… then I studied it from a neuroscience perspective as SAD (seasonal affects depression) was becoming more understood. Now it’s great to have my own data to corroborate my awareness.
Thanks .ai
