Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.) John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked…

Why is "Down Syndrome" trending on Twitter? Because some people are arguing we need permissive abortion laws so we can "screen" for people with Down's and kill them in utero. So wrong. No member of the human family is inherently superior or inferior to any other in basic dignity.

"It takes time—even once you have all of these pieces in place, there is an indeterminate amount of time you have to put in. If you’re counting, you’ll run out of patience before success actually arrives." 👌🏼 From @Navalmanack navalmanack.com/almanack-of-na…

The “cure” for neediness isn’t to act as if you don’t have those emotional needs. That would just be more repression. It’s to learn how to meet your own emotional needs yourself, so that you won’t end up forming toxic, codependent #relationships.

Perfect example of cancel culture — by which I mean 1) forming a mob, to 2) seek to get someone fired (or disproportionately punished), for 3) statements within Overton window. Those doing form-fruste witch burning should be ashamed. ⁦@jonathanchait⁩ nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Desperately avoiding #triggers is a *symptom of trauma, not a long-term treatment for it.

You cannot unconditionally #love another until you can unconditionally love the disowned parts of yourself. Otherwise, it’s just needy or transactional connection.

To have your heart broken open... is the only gateway to unlock the highest levels of consciousness. The same beautiful pain is considered suffering by one and glorious by another. It all depends on how you meet it. #therapy

The source of our neediness. Love, affection, connection, and acceptance are all basic human needs. We have all exiled vulnerable parts of ourselves. But it is those very parts of us that are in need. Just… instagram.com/p/CE1lu3xj3JQ/…

The breakthrough may feel like it comes out of nowhere, but it never does. It’s always the result of lots of little, almost imperceptible cracks accumulating over time until enlightenment breaks through.

We tend to think breakthroughs in personal growth come suddenly out of nowhere. But they never do. They’re always preceded by many powerful but subtle shifts that add up over time... until the dam breaks and the hidden becomes manifest.
