Nå, så fik man da lige lidt ekstra morgenmotion! 🏃‍♀️
Jeg skal til SDU i dag og havde planlagt bus til Hovedbanen i god tid, med hele 15 minutter til afgang. Bortset fra trafikhelvedet på Amager! Lige omkring Christianshavns Vold panikkede jeg over det og hoppede af bussen. For at nå til Hovedbanen i tide måtte jeg så smålŸbe resten af vejen (2 km) - og undervejs kunne jeg så konstatere at jeg snildt kunne have taget mindst et stop til, for der var busbane det næste stykke 🤦‍♀️

I had a weird dream where I was talking to someone at some kind of ceremony, I think a funeral, where I had timidly painted my face with clay as part of some ritual. This person was talking about how far society has come while our brains have not caught up.
Imagine if your ancient cave dwelling ancestors were dropped into this world of cars, office hours, budgets, climate change, and AI. They would be absolutely freaking out and struggling to understand things all the time... Just like you are now.
Society teaches us to suppress these emotions. You're supposed to be OK with giant metal boxes flying around you in rumbling stampedes, but you feel it in unexplained anxiety. You're supposed to just fit your life into tight little bounds that ignore weather and season, but you feel it in more unexplained anxiety and depression. We are all part of something so big and complicated we can't make sense of it, we cannot possibly comprehend it all, it is simply too much to fully grasp the implications of our individual actions within global capitalism. Should we be surprised by our urge to simply destroy it, by the anger and desire to simply "smash" something far more complex than can be met with simple violence?
Some part of my brain was trying to remind me to be compassionate to myself. Perhaps that reminder can be useful to you as well.

After 88 days of near-total internet blackout in Iran,
long-delayed messages, images and poems flooded phones and social media feeds at about 5pm on Tuesday,
when still-limited connectivity flickered back to life.
The first reactions, however, were not celebratory.
Many new posts were threaded with scepticism, anxiety and anger.
Ellie*, 42, an artist from Tehran, was able to connect for the first time since 28 February.
