When the facts don’t match the story anymore, the tactic shifts:

Confuse the followers.

Flood them with contradictions.

Make loyalty feel safer than critical thinking…

Sometimes it’s not subtle.

Sometimes it’s loud and vicious—

and it’s right there in plain sight.

Trump’s Easter post told us everything we need to know about his tactics:

“Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics fighting to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and Wife Beaters back into our country…”

Instead of a message of hope or unity, he delivered a tirade of fear and hate—on a sacred day meant for renewal.

Psychological breakdown:

This is a textbook fear tactic…

(Meeting our inner child, too.)

No one told us that parenting would be less about having all the answers—

and more about hearing all the echoes.

Of our own unmet needs.

Of the tone we feared.

Of the silence we craved.

Of the safety we never had.

Because parenting doesn’t just shape our children.

It stirs up the ghosts of who we were.

Hey, love—yes, you.

A soft reminder, soul to soul:

Your experience is real.

It doesn’t need to be validated to be true.

And when the world feels heavy or your edges feel tight,

there are simple, sacred ways to come back home to yourself.

Because the body remembers, and poetry lets it speak.

Rupi Kaur doesn’t need a thousand words to say something holy.

She crafts softness with edge,

turns silence into syllables,

and gives the wound a name you can whisper to yourself in the dark.

She showed the world that healing can rhyme,

that trauma can be translated,

Take a moment.

Close your eyes.

And feel into the incredible, wild, improbable story that led to you.

The decisions.

The accidents.

The love stories, the heartbreaks, the wars, the crossings of land and sea—

The prayers whispered in languages you may never speak,

but still feel echoing in your bones…

Because intelligence without care is not wisdom—and innovation without Earth is not future.

Dr. Fei-Fei Li is a rare kind of architect.

Not of buildings, but of vision.

Not of machines, but of possibility.

She stands at the crossroads of artificial intelligence and the human soul—

and she chooses care…

We see you.

We feel the weight in your breath.

And we want you to know this:

🤎 You are not alone. 🤎

The threat of being sent to foreign prisons, stripped of dignity, or treated like a problem to be solved instead of a human being to be loved—

It is heartbreaking. It is wrong.

(Listening to the Language of Every Nervous System)

Parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Neither are nervous systems.

And yet… so much of the world still treats kids like they should all learn, play, speak, and feel the same way.

But neurodivergence is not a flaw—it’s a spectrum of humanity.

A rainbow of rhythm, regulation, and response…

Let’s talk about something tender and powerful, friends — resourcefulness as rebellion.

In a moment when tariffs are making essentials more expensive, when corporate greed is spiking prices and calling it “growth,” and when the systems around us push us toward buying more and being less… we get to slow down, soften, and subvert.

Thrift shopping isn’t just cute vintage jackets and funky mugs.

It’s circular economy…

There are individuals preaching fear-based religion through megaphones downtown in my local community.

“Repent your sins”

“Do not remain silent about homosexuals”

My heart feels the familiar ache of grief for the impacts of this targeted hatred.

I want you to know:

If you don’t fit the mold they preach for others to match, you are not the problem.

Read that again:

You are not the problem…

Because truth can be tender—and science can speak like a prayer.

There are people who yell to be heard.

And then there are people like Dr. Kate Marvel,

who speak with such clear, rooted truth

that the whole room leans in to listen…

(A love note to the wild ones and the ones raising them)

Let’s talk about this word:

“Good.”

It’s been showing up a lot lately…

in praise, in fear, in generational echoes.

“Be a good girl.”

“Act like a good boy.”

“That’s not what good kids do.”

But here’s the spell we’re breaking…

Because true wealth isn’t built in banks—it’s born in the hands, hearts, and rhythms of the people.

Mariana Mazzucato isn’t just an economist—

She’s a systems alchemist.

A rebel scholar.

A woman who dared to ask:

Who told us that value belongs to those who extract it?

Let’s talk about language, power, and the direction we’re steering this human ship.

Recently, a public figure praised the resurgence of the word “retarded” as a cultural victory. And we need to call that what it is—not clever, not rebellious, not edgy. It’s a tactic. A deliberate tactic that feeds an old, worn-out system built on hierarchy, dehumanization, and separation.

Language shapes the world.

And this kind of language? It creates tiers…

Because the stars were never out of reach—we were just waiting for a woman like her to rise.

She didn’t just reach space—

She stretched the boundaries of what little Black girls were told they could be…

Burnout doesn’t mean you don’t care.

It means you cared so much, you tried to carry it all alone.

But here’s the truth:

We can’t carry the world on our shoulders.

We can only carry what is ours to hold —

with love, with breath, and with boundaries.

To advocate from love means…

Because brilliance, complexity, and consent can coexist.

Dr. Kizzmekia “Kizzy” Corbett is a viral immunologist, educator, and woman whose groundbreaking work helped develop the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. In the early days of the pandemic—when fear was high, information was scarce, and lives were being lost in staggering numbers—Dr. Corbett led with compassion and heart…

(The wisdom lives within…)

What if your child’s body wasn’t something to manage, correct, or rush through—but something to listen to?

What if their wiggles were wisdom?

Their silence… a signal?

Their tears… sacred language?

The body teaches us—if we let it….

Let’s talk about what “equitable voting” really means.

It doesn’t mean we all jump through the same hoops.

It means the path to the ballot box is clear and accessible—for everyone.

And right now, that’s not what the SAVE Act is offering.

When a law requires extra documentation—like birth certificates or passports—to prove citizenship for voter registration, it creates a system where some people have to work harder to prove what others don’t.

That’s not equality.

And it’s definitely not equity…
