Good change is also stressful for the body. Just as adjusting to pain & distress dysregulates the system's natural functioning, so does adjusting to connection & joy. It helps to be patient with yourself not only when things go wrong, but when they go incredibly right.

I love what Thomas Moore has to say here about 𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘴.
Eros means 'desire' and 'longing'. Most of us live our lives motivated by obligation rather than by desire and longing. Often, when a person comes to me complaining about some difficulty, I ask not "What is wrong?" but "Where is your desire?" I want to know about the condition of eros in this life, because the soul is affected much more by our treatment of eros than it is by the failure to do everything properly. — Thomas Moore, Soul Mates: Honouring the Mysteries of Love and Relationship

This is Willie. He needs a little emotional support to eat his meals. Enjoys the company too. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

I love me a queer holiday film where no one is in the closet and the parents are actively trying to set up their kids with other queer kids ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #FriendsAndFamilyChristmas

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting on his computer, as Green sneaks up on him, laying his chin on the table. Green: One vibe check, please. Blue: Sure. Blue turns back to his computer as Green listens, chin still on the tabletop. Blue: You are loved, you're doing ok, and nobody is mad at you. Green stares ahead of himself while Blue turns to kiss his forehead. Green: Can I also be kissed? Blue: Sure.

Parrots are clearly intelligent enough to understand video UIs They also apparently prefer watching videos of other parrots 🤔 This implies an opportunity for a "parrot streaming" platform. Looking for a team who is as excited about this opportunity as Iam

It is so rare to find photos of queer, especially Trans, elders joyful -- playing! Uninhibited. Not fighting or stern or posed or dead or -- Today I found these pics of Leslie Feinberg in a water balloon fight and promptly cried. Happy belated birthday, Leslie. 🎂🎈❤️‍🔥

If a child does not feel safe in telling their parents, they have a reason. This is going to cause so much harm.

I cannot POSSIBLY be any clearer (as someone who worked in IT managing some of this country's biggest databases) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE PROVIDE PICTURES OF THEIR PASSPORTS OR DRIVING LICENCES ESPECIALLY NOT to databases outside the GDPR THREAD:

X will begin to have users verify their identity by having them submit a selfie alongside a government issued ID. The process requires users to consent to X storing their information for 30 days and sharing it with AU10TIX, an identity verification company based in Israel.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
ID verification is going to be an optional layer of verification for X Blue users. This is not going to affect non-Blue users in any way. socialmediatoday.com/news/x-may-soo…
