What does 'loving addictions who cannot heal' sometimes render for some? "I cannot TRUST self to KNOW difference when I know I do not know, & let self remember 'that' is not any threat, that idea, curiosity, 'stranger', new experience, flavor, etc, might actually 'inspire', & not 'threaten' me",...?

"Hello stranger sitting next to me on a bus or airplane!"
"Hello cousin, sibling, neighbor, peer who is certain to 'know me better than I know myself',... What if & when I really need you to respect keeping that very perspective? & what if when why how you might need me to 'shut-up & just LISTEN!'?"

"Do better", it's "more professional", maybe measured "more legit", if I were to meet what some understandably feel is reasonable expectation I should direct attention, I should be more specific & articulate, I should "better convey to the point what I mean",... 🤷‍♂️
I get that.
It's 'practice', maybe?

"Free Will" when "trauma response", when "healing", when "forgiving", when working to remember or sometimes how some work to forget, to not remember even "against their 'free will'", sometimes? "Real people" can act poorly, can "live confused", eh?

Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.

They think we’re failing.

It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.

Let’s walk through how to recognize a seizure in a bystander or loved one, and what to do in those crucial moments after a seizure begins, with guidance from a neurologist:

Recognizing when someone is having a seizure – and how you can help during those first critical moments

What you don’t do: Don’t shout at them, don’t put things in their mouth and don’t let them get near things that are sharp or hard in case of a fall.

Submissions invited for #POLLEN2026 for the panel: Colonial histories and climate futures: critical perspectives on vulnerability.

We are particularly interested in papers that draw together themes of climate-induced im/mobilities & vulnerabilisation.

nomadit.co.uk/conference/p...

Description
This panel brings together theoretical approaches and case studies at the intersection of climate change, human (im)mobility and vulnerability. We aim to critically discuss how colonial and neocolonial systems contribute to geographic, economic, and social inequalities in the context of increasing climate change impacts, thereby making a contribution to both climate justice and political ecology debates. We invite papers which critically examine dominant discourses that ascribe vulnerability to so-called “at-risk” populations and explore alternative epistemologies of survival, resistance and political agency. We are particularly interested in papers that draw together two themes: Climate-induced (im)mobilities, and vulnerabilisation.
