🧵 Preserving my calm is my #1 mental health priority. Without it, I become less effective at everything else I do. I recently shared my calm strategy with a struggling friend, and hope others might benefit.
Worth a read. Don't wait for others to stand up to save you. Fight.
Adam Parkhomenko@adamparkhomenko.bsky.social · 2y agoIf you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/
Rotate this 90 degrees counterclockwise and it's me, trying to do a pull-up.

This is inhumane. A brain running on the hormone that aligns to one's internal sense of gender has a profound impact on a person's general sense of wellbeing. I could tell a difference within 24 hours when I started HRT. This is forced detransitioning and fucking appalling.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2y agoHegseth just revoked all gender affirming hormone therapy for trans active duty service members - effectively trapping them because you can't just quit the military. All while stating our trans service members will be treated with "dignity and respect."
I don't think this guy understands the definition of "competent" and nor does anyone else in his reporting chain.
Stephanie Kennedy@wordswithsteph.bsky.social · 2y agoSecretary of State Marco Rubio has hired a misogynistic racist to serve as his acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy. Presenting Darren Beattie, who is both an overt racist, misogynist, conspiracy theorist about the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection — and so much more. All…
The cowardice of media outlets from stating the obvious is infuriating. A U.S. state legislature trying to favor a single religion in law isn't "potentially unconstitutional". It's BLATANTLY unconstitutional. Separation of church and state, you donkeys, it's not hard.
💙❤️💙Mia💙❤️💙@mommamia.bsky.social · 2y agoYIKES! North Dakota Republicans have introduced legislation to declare themselves a Christian nationalist state, recognizing the kingship of Jesus Christ. This sounds more like a cult than government. heartlandsignal.com/2025/02/07/c...
I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs
Never in my wildest nightmares have I imagined such blistering destruction to the American brand as I've witnessed over the past two weeks. Trust takes years to build and seconds to lose. Built via decades of work, that trust is evaporating and won't soon return. What a stupid, pointless waste.
💙❤️💙Mia💙❤️💙@mommamia.bsky.social · 2y ago🟠 is betraying the Palestinians for his personal financial enrichment- Using our military. This banishment is new inspiration for every anti-American terrorist wishing us harm. He is alienating the USA from the world-especially our allies & aligning us with the darkest forces on the planet.
If these dangerous bird flu variants jumped to humans under this administration even with a competent Health Secretary, it'd still be terrifying. Confirming RFK Jr. would make the event catastrophic and doom millions. Call your senators. Tell them NO to RFK. Don't email. CALL! It takes 2 minutes.
Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 2y agoAnd with RFK Jr. at the helm, it’ll go from bad to apocalyptic… abcnews.go.com/Health/us-da...
It’s natural to feel scared or guilty or ashamed, that’s your soul telling you to stay alive and do the right thing. Trump and Musk are moving fast and life will get harder that’s a fact. However, through difficult and terrifying times the best in all of us can shine. Do what you can, don’t give up.
It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷♂️
I changed my profile Thank you to all my followers I am honored And I send love to all of you THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH 160K
What do we call it when someone who has not been elected takes control of the government inconsistent with any constitutional provision and who claims he’s voiding lawful mandates of the legislature?
The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover
Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

🧵 Both AOC and Mark Cuban commented on countering cynicism and bridge building today. In a separate, ADHD-fueled hyperfocus session that started as ad-hoc feedback for the DNC and quickly escalated, I wrote a vision doc describing a cohesive national DNC comms strategy. Coincidence? Maybe not.
If a random tone rang throughout my house every time that I unconsciously probed my oral stitches with my tongue, it’d sound like a dozen pigeons fighting over a box of crackers on top of a church organ all day in here.
This is a nightly occurrence, and often a repeat one since my ADHD brain generates a whole host of things after I solve the snacks problem ...

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve
To protect my calm, I use individual and independent media outlets, beholden only to their subscribers and their own professionalism, to summarize events. Robert B. Hubbell's latest post echoes my thoughts about The Orange Hairball's reprehensible actions: open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...
A new low.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.
