Ammirate la forza di volontà di uno a cui è stata appena consegnata la Switch 2 e si è recato comunque in ufficio a lavorare.

"The Larger World Awaits"

[tears-that-heal]

If I had to choose an animated character that “I think”closely resembles me, it honestly be SALLY from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". 🎃🪡🧵🍁

She comes across kinda timid, but she is does have fiery spirit and is willing to take risks. The difference is she has no desire to make a spectacle of herself or be in the limelight. She’s content to do things behind-the-scenes. Also the fact she’s ragdoll helps me feel even more like her due to living with both physical & mental health challenges. Sometimes it feels like I need to sew myself back together after a blunder. *sigh*

My husband told me he disagrees with my choice and instead states I’m more like Madeline, the strong spirited little French girl with the adventurous heart. ❤️ 🐕

Both characters are strong willed redheads! 😉 Madeline is more head-strong and usually jumps into action before thinking things through. Sally, on the hand, is more cautious before doing anything and prefers to work away from the spotlight. Can be misjudged as timid or shy. Also what the two have in common is the will to take healthy risks in life.

I still consider myself to be more like Sally though, but it was encouraging to learn that my hubby views me to be a more courageous woman. I couldn’t be more flattered!!! 🥰

I came across a quote from the book titled, 'Narcissistic Abuse Truths: Information Education Transformation' by Alice Little

"As traumatized children we always dreamed that someone would come and save us. We never dreamed that it would, in fact, be ourselves, as adults."

And immediately I was reminded of a scene from the movie 'Harry Potter and the Prisioner of Azkaban', in which Harry Potter is saved from dementors by someone from across the lake and for most part of the movie Harry thinks that it was his father but only in the later part of the movie he realizes that it was himself from the future. The growth of Harry Potter is realized in this scene.

Similarly, in our lives, when we desire transformation or growth we might finally face our suppressed memories, emotions and fears (particularly from the past/childhood) like Harry Potter facing the dementors; this might happen from time to time and in each & every stage we are saved by stronger selves (more precisely our higher selves).

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

shipping isn’t about what the writers or actors say is or isn’t romantic. shipping isn’t even about romance a good percentage of the time. shipping is about seeing The Dynamic and going absolutely hog wild in your mind and your friends dms about it.

"Members of the Teamsters union went on strike at Amazon early Thursday in a labor action at seven facilities in four states coast to coast just ahead of the holiday gift-giving rush.

Amazon said that its operations will not be affected by any of the union’s actions. Although the Teamsters claim to represent 7,000 Amazon workers nationwide, that accounts for less than 1% of the company’s US workforce."

"Amazon shows no indication it is willing to reach a deal with the Teamsters or even recognizes that the union speaks for any of its workers, despite the union declaring that employees at numerous Amazon facilities have signed cards asking to join."

Gold Award for my poem,  Resurrection's Miracles

[fly-chicken]

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

I know that Hollyberry had suffered from post-war trauma for a time, leading to depression and prolonged drunkenness to the point of neglecting her country

But I didn't expect that to be when Royal Berry was so young
