I LOVE This Description!

Ha. !

That’s where it is.! I swear, just got distracted for a moment waiting on the modem to log in.

Some (older/ancient) peoples will understand.

And that’s how it’s done. No muss, no fuss, no life vest, no safety ropes. Just simple competency.

Longing for deep water, following seas, and wooden ships.

Woooo

MP. Views in my yard today

Surveyed the blackberries and it’s not looking good for jelly time this year. Enough water but all ar the wrong growth times. ☹️

Now if ever asked, I did not EVER engage in ANY type of similar behaviors ! However I can understand, this time of year my feet do get cold.

Being fully naked feels less naked than being naked with shoes on.

Unrestrained and immoral capitalism at the level of greed and pursuit of profit that kills the underlying source of it all. The “middle class. What a joke we are forced to live. 😖

This is how you unrig the system. You vote for Democrats and progressives. #VoteBlue

Keep Wall St from manipulating Main St.

So. EXCELLENT. ,

Inclusion is so messy and requires compromise.

NO DICTATORS OR FAUX KINGS OF ANYTHING

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙

Moss appreciation 👍

WHUUUUUUMMMPPPPHHHH. !

wait for it the concussive wave, (that would be the pressure wave you feel from lightning very close). OR I will truly hope ::::: happens in the minds of more peoples.

Been in this situation. It also took me YEARS to figure out, because Nobody talks above this stuff in the open.

As I sit here at my two hour Spravato treatment, I’m thinking about how we talk about depression and whose job it is to do scicomm and health comm about depression.

I’ve had clinical suicidal depression for 24 years, I’ve been in therapy, done inpatient, taken meds, done treatments. I know a lot about it and can help people with the process. I love being a resource for friends new to navigating the options.

But I don’t want to be The Depression Person. Depression is just some background noise that gets in the way of who I actually am. I wanna talk prairie and plants and history!

I hate talking about my depression and suicidiality. I don’t care about receptors and inhibitors and brain chemistry. I don’t want to make work about it. I get rip-roaring furious talking about anti-medication activism, discourse and stigmas around getting help. I have zero interest in getting into it about The Psychiatry Industry, pharmaceuticals, or insurance.

So what action should I take? As a beneficiary of this complex and nuanced field of depression treatment, as a person who uses images to communicate, what am I morally obliged to do? Should I use my experience to educate people? Wouldn’t that make me a corpo shill? A pharma shill? A psychiatry apologist?

I hate that objective, concrete quality of life improvements I have had will be met with hostility and bad faith responses. I’m afraid of the inevitable backlash any depression treatment educational material I make will have. This seems especially pertinent as we in the US are going to have RFK, a man who has explicitly targeted antidepressants, as part of our government. What is my obligation here? What is the right thing to do?

Idk man. I just want to draw and talk about plants. But it sure would have been nice if I had known any of this depression stuff like, a decade earlier.

Makes me smile.

Anybody in need of a pick me up.
