The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real.
When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains.
Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

"But what can I do about it? I'm just trying to keep young mums from killing themselves..."

I waited 12 hours at ED. GP appointments need to be booked four weeks in advance. No money for public health system or lifting families out of poverty but an extra $9 billion for increasing the lethality of our armed forces. Time for a reissue of the Psychopathology of Politics by John A Lee?

It’s been really interesting to see what stories are kept on the front page for weeks on end and which ones barely cause a ripple.
This should absolutely be a point of concern and reflection as we approach our next election - it is going to be one of the most vital elections in our lifetime.

Imagine if ANY consistent pressure was put on David Seymour by NZ media. We've seen how quickly he loses it when challenged even slightly. Yet another reason to think that ACT's main constituency is the pol/media class.

I admit that incel communities and 'if you choose the bear I'll kill you' commenters appear to have a loose grip on sanity, but I'm not sure it's fair to people with actual disorders to conflate the two. I also think it's too easy of an excuse.
Many young men are unable to get a date on account of being insane. Their solution to this is to become much more insane. The logic is bad, but they’ve made themselves too insane on purpose to understand this

One of the things I really like about bluesky is that there’s a collection of horrible people who have prominent media positions who I felt like it was important to pay attention to. It turns out they were not.
