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.

I announced this morning I’m leaving Webtoons. This is something I’ve been thinking about for months now and today is the day. You can read a bit about my journey and my decision why in this post (In true Webtoons style with all the art and vertical-scroll glory.)

I’m happy that I’ve found a place to park my stuff for a while. Maybe Subs…

I'm Leaving Webtoons, and Here's Why...

My gosh…we passed 2,000 subscribers overnight. Either you’re all extremely loyal, or you’ve fully lost it. Either way—I’m honored.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for following me here. Thank you for reminding The Woman that a formerly stray cancer-killing machine with strong opinions and questionable table manners still has pull.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get spiffed up for my checkup with Dr. Kenny—the only human I willingly allow to poke, prod, and praise me.

I’ll report back later…

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.

Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.

Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?

Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.

Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.

Stop escaping it.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

How Fascism Typically Takes Over a Nation by Rhetoric…
Greeley Miklashek, MD's avatar

Rhetoric does not direct human behavior, emotion does, particularly those triggered by survival threat(s). Interesting that even the brilliant investigative journalism of our dear Thom is emotion driven--anger is the great motivator, driven by dopamine in the limbic survival brain, ironically the same module in our central nervous system that Our Mad King (wannabe) Donald so masterfully manipulates. Any thought we are able to recall is only retrievable due to its emotional value, including all …

@Dr. Greely. You are right. Mostly visceral. That's why "Trump hates dogs" and Trump stole from kids with cancer" makes MAGATS choke on their beer.

I think speaking those truths about Trump is beneficial. Speaking about a LOT of people who “love” him viscerally is true, too.

But I think reducing nearly all people to automatons manipulated so completely by someone who might understand our unconscious better than we understand our own … that’s a bit too woo-woo for me. I’m not convinced Jung knew as much as he wished he did, or his followers still think he did. We can talk about how our brains work and what ideas swirl around in there at any …

People like you -- a media pro -- are needed at Field Team 6, which targets unregistered people who trend Democratic. A completely different target market.

I have personally -- up close and personal -- seen MAGATS have an epiphany. I'm in discussion groups.

I have checked out the site, Daniel, and expect to do some work with them. Need a little more time and info. In figure I’ll do some mailing, writing, talking - whatever I can do that does not make things worse…

People are eagerly waiting to hear from you!

Ha, They just don’t know it yet, right?
