You read that right.
The 1st thing I want to discuss here is how to put away this discussion.
If you’re feeling emotionally triggered, you need a barrier from current events. Our first line of defense here is the ability to MUTE words, phrases, and accounts. You can unmute later.

We’ll see people using the word “monster” but it’s important to remember that there is nothing supernatural about the people committing these crimes. They are just people, who have been enabled to avoid accountability for far, far too long.

It's real important, as we work to reduce our anxiety & make ourselves less vulnerable to anxiety, that we not shame or attack ourselves for being anxious. Anxiety happens. It's not a character flaw. It's a sign part of us is sensitive & wounded-- & needs compassion & patience.

Human emotions are complex and diverse. The fact that we feel pain, anger, anxiety, sorrow - does not mean that we cannot also feel comfort, joy, serenity, or humor.
If you find yourself in a situation where you are *not ever* feeling the full range of human emotions, that’s a sign to look for help

Burnout and disengagement aren’t individual failures. They’re signals of systems under strain.
When effort replaces capacity and responsibility is pushed down without authority, people adapt. Some burn out. Others disengage.
Until conditions change, transformation only reproduces the same risks.

Whether we call it a “timeline cleanse” or a #glimmer or something else - our senses need a break from the high anxiety world of current events.
Take a break, drink some water, have a stretch
