Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

i love it when a woman slowly steps out of survival mode and starts to fall in love with life again. when her zest for life comes back and when she starts to notice all the magic and blessings around her, it’s the most beautiful thing to witness.

Be bored more often.
Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.
In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

When we live with our eyes up, we begin to notice what has been here all along. The love. The goodness. The steady unfolding. And when we name it- out loud, on paper, in glances and gestures- we help it grow.
Noticing is love. Naming is love. And love, spoken simply, is never wasted.

The White House can purge transcripts and try to keep Trump on the golf course, but when the president has to give a speech like his commencement address at West Point, his decline is obvious.

I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.
Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.
You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.
In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.
If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

BREAKING: Adam Schiff just read Trump's EPA director a full list of his agency's failures to his face and left him completely speechless. This is absolutely incredible.
Im a big fan of this blog and your work but I would suggest as a transgender therapist who works with adults and children, the closeting effect is far more dramatic than you might realize. Also, people stay closeted for reasons including concerns about work, family and friend response, and internalized biases and self-loathing. I base much of this in my own (of course anecdotal) work in therapy where people reveal things they might not anywhere else. This is why I think the issue about generati…
I'm also not as swayed by the generational argument. But I am swayed by the disproportionate increase in bisexuals. It's the least committal form of non-straight identification, so that makes it a favorite of those who just want to identify as a "marginalized" class.
Yeah I also think these things are not equal in terms of gender and social desirability bias. Female bisexuality is a lot more socially desirable in many circle than male bisexuality. Think back to any parties thrown by frats in college (if one went). If two girls started kissing, there would be cheering. If it was two guys, different result.
…and in fact if you look at the recent numbers, females are declaring their bisexuality at a *far* greater rate than males.
Though I do wish the surveys published would make this fact more easy to observe. But presumably they do not because doing so would undercut the related gender-identity ideology.

Nope. Not gonna happen. I went to college with one of your “chippies” and she was SO PROUD to say how she had an affair with you. You were a LOT cuter than🤢. Just in case you think I’m lying, I went to UMASS in the 80’s. The same time that Cosby(🤮) was getting his PhD in education.
Slept his way to the top. Interesting.
