Big thanks to the Fediverse Friends who wished me well or even just commiserated at the pain I've been going through.
I am feeling a lot better today, but I don't want to forget that pain, because I need to be mindful of the pain people are in every day. It's a struggle, it's a battle, and I wish we could all live pain-free lives.

How a local radio station weathered Trump's media attacks
Six days into President Donald Trump's new administration, the San Francisco Bay-area radio station KCBS-AM and other outlets reported on local immigration raids. The brief story quickly drew the ire of conservative influencers who attacked KCBS’ report as endangering agents’ lives. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr accused KCBS of failing to operate in the public interest and said he was opening an investigation. Current and former staffers say KCBS began taking steps…

Ever notice how you're watching your own life from a slight distance?
Not depressed. Not burned out. Just... slightly absent.
When overwhelm lasts longer than we can process it, we adapt by feeling less. We function but don't fully inhabit our days.
The long dissociation kept us safe when feeling everything wasn't possible.
But survival was never the same thing as being alive.
What would it mean to gently come back?

The Long Dissociation and the Cost of Nonchalance: Why We Feel Numb, Detached, and Distant
An essay on how prolonged overwhelm teaches us to care less—and how we gently relearn presence, desire, and participation in our own lives.

I’ve seen posts about how Democratic politicians have to be “punished” and then they’ll shape up — even one horrifying post basically arguing that we need a couple more years for fascism to fully materialize in order to reform our political system.
My dude…this “people will wake up when it’s bad enough” trope doesn’t work. It’s never worked. It’s been failing spectacularly my whole life — and if one Trump term didn’t do it…what will? And how many people’s lives will be destroyed along the way?
That thinking will kill us all.

So Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" is what they would call a "visual feast". Lavish production barely does it justice. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and it is as poignant as one would hope. Well worth it!
The only thing that grated on me was the weirdly unnatural composited lighting. I've seen this in other films and it bums me out. Gives me the same vibes as AI generated Art… Makes me wonder why it was decided to go that route, rather than lighting things pra…

Many of us learned to survive by staying slightly absent from our own lives.
Not apathy. Not burnout. Something quieter.
A low-grade separation that let us function when feeling everything became too much.
It protected us. But survival is not the same as being alive.
What does it look like to come back?
