To anyone on here I've worked with, incredible writers and insightful mindfulness teachers, I'm so grateful for our work together. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish it didn't have to end this way.

New life experience unlocked: Getting laid off!

Any employees out there...do what we put off doing for too long. #Unionize. There is power in worker solidarity! No matter how kind your company claims to be, they'll only "care" abt u as long as it's good for their bottom line.

To be clear, working at Mindful for 5+ years has been an amazing experience. It taught me so much about editing, collaboration, and myself. I have near and dear relationships of deep care and trust with so many coworkers...former coworkers. Ouch.

Really enjoyed learning from these perspectives and insights shared by four neurodivergent and disabled scientists. https://t.co/P4NSVhbJ60

@leslieagarrett That too, unquestionably. But, when combined with a spoon and a hangry mood, it's also dangerous!

@ralphdelarosa_ Well, for an AI, I found it convincing! 😅

@ralphdelarosa_ Seen and heard. Mostly avoiding this XXXXscape for now 🤪

@jenfish23 Such a great piece, @jenfish23 . How can we create peaceful and equitable societies when our languages so often implies the opposite? ☮️

This articulates some of the uncertainty I sometimes feel about gratitude, even while fully believing in the importance of it as an emotion & practice.

@shalinibahl 100%. War and conflict are such a huge part of the fuel for our economy, and that needs to change. We can do so much better! <3

[The former Mindful editor known as Amber @Amber_Mindful]

We need a new peace movement and the whole mindfulness and meditation community needs to be part of it. What even is inner peace if we have outer nuclear war? Or even non-nuclear? 99% of meditators are not doing enough to bring peace rn. /unpopular opinion

A failure, and a desecration. #PeaceInUkraine #PeaceforAll

War is a failure of our humanity.

@afficasm To everyone protesting at their own risk: Thank you so much. You deserve so much protection and respect, and to be heard. <3

Yeesh. One reason I can't see myself as a journalist: I find "cold call" emails so stress-inducing. 😬#PleaseLikeMe #LetsCollab🤞

Fellow wh*te people, why are we so mindless when it comes to which conflicts we bother to care about? This compilation and commentary from Amanda Seales is very helpful in revealing how wh*te supremacy sneaks into our views. https://t.co/Yj077cjecf

Our hearts are with the people of Ukraine. As Rhonda Magee writes, "Allow yourself to completely feel the compassion in your being, particularly for those who are suffering the most in your community and in the world right now."

@ralphdelarosa_ ~Secretly~ cuddling my cat at my desk during the work day. Definitely slows down my typing at times, but makes me happy :)

@MissTwrites Partake also makes a seasonal Peach Gose which is scrumptious, IMO. A very nice thing to keep around in the summer. :)
