Love Finnish summer because 10PM-3AM looks like this

Complete silence from the BBC on our rape gang inquiry report.

A truly despicable organisation.

People in Britain keep messaging me.

They want me to post something.
They cannot post it themselves.

Not because they are wrong.
Because in their country, being right about the wrong topic can end your job, your reputation, your freedom.

So they ask a Japanese account to say it instead.

That is not a small thing.
That is what a country looks like when free speech is already gone.

I wonder if any medieval peasants stayed awake at night replaying awkward conversations

Just lying there in the dark thinking, “I was weird at the well”

[No filter Skin @NoFilterSkin]

I’m so tired of hearing “you won’t be able to do that anymore when you have a baby”
I can just take him with me??

Going to the beach? He’s coming.
Going out to dinner? He’s coming.
Going on vacation? He’s coming.
Fly to a different country? He’s coming!!

Bro kids are portable

Ima pack his lil bag and go.

Every June, pink and purple rhododendron blooms appear along exposed mountain ridges along the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail. These splashes of color highlight the rolling landscape’s already remarkable beauty.

This is why we tell folks to NEVER seek shelter inside a vehicle.

This car near Effingham, Illinois was thrown into a fields, rolled and impaled.

As a last resort, seek shelter inside a ditch and cover your head — but never stay inside the car.

For less than two seconds, the Sun turned green. 🟢☀️

Known as a green flash, this rare optical phenomenon can appear just as the Sun disappears below the horizon.

Many people spend years trying to see one.

Most miss it completely.

The fastest way to texture a garlic grater. So simple, yet takes a lot of skills. It works like a charm.

There's no way that that's exclusive to ADHD

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

The ADHD Watermelon Theory perfectly explains executive dysfunction. Neurotypicals see a delicious fruit and think, "I want a snack."
My ADHD brain sees a 15-pound administrative obstacle course involving heavy lifting, knife safety, kitchen logistics, sticky counter mitigation, and Tupperware geometric planning. So instead, I will starve.

This likely applies to most of us.

Hackers leave infected USB drives in parking lots.

It's called USB baiting.

The attack works like this:

A threat actor drops 5 or 10 USB drives in a parking lot, lobby, or bathroom near a target company. sometimes labeled "Layoff List" or "Top Secret" sometimes no label at all. just a drive on the ground.

Someone picks it up. takes it inside. plugs it in.

The drive auto-runs. installs a keylogger, backdoor, or ransomware loader. The attacker is now inside the network.

How well does it work?

IBM ran a test. dropped 200 USBs across various locations. 98% were picked up. of those, 45% were plugged in within minutes.

Almost half within minutes.

The most famous real-world example: Stuxnet, the malware that physically destroyed Iran's nuclear centrifuges. It got inside an air-gapped facility via a USB drive dropped in a parking lot.

Never plug in a USB you didn't buy yourself. ever. regardless of where you found it. regardless of what it says on the label.

If you found one hand it to IT don't plug it in just to see what's on it.

Curiosity is the attack vector.

[Curiosity @CuriosityonX]

People don't realize that we share this planet with the largest creature to ever exist in the history of Earth.

The blue whale is so massive that its body operates on a scale almost impossible to picture.

The heart of a blue whale is about the size of a small car.

Some patterns I noticed after looking through a ton of patient files the last week — Every sick male patient I’ve worked with in the last year has one or all of the following same beliefs / personality traits and body states - (I tend to do a core beliefs / habits / personality intake before I look at any labs or physical aspects of an illness) :

1) That they are “behind” in something : they aren’t where they should be / or that they missed the boat that others seemingly caught (that time has a finish line and they are running out of time to prove they are good enough)

2) Tendencies to people please, usually stemming from performing/performative behaviors around a mother or father as a means to stay safe or accepted via keeping the peace/not making waves - now a coping strategy into adulthood that is no longer working (if I can be useful I won’t be lost/left behind/abandoned)

3) Too hard on self (internalized criticism, usually stemming from another person and that persons voice becomes their own inner voice)

4) Strong shame or guilt aspects including inner dialogues that are judgmental of themself

5) Living in a functional freeze state (most common I see, when fight or flight fail /weren’t possible in youth)

6) They are living in long term touch & connection deficits

There are many others but these show up so often for me that I thought I’d share.

The labs I might want them to run tell me what in the body broke as a means to get their attention because it was affected by a pattern, but this pattern and belief intake is the why it broke and should be addressed.

Here are what these 6 most common I see in general teach us / could do to us :

Behind: Core belief: “I do not have inherent worth. My value depends on what I produce or achieve.”
Nervous system: Chronic HPA axis activation. The body lives in a low grade threat, constantly assessing whether it has done enough to justify its existence.
Somatic consequences here: Chronic fatigue, immune suppression, metabolic dysregulation, hormonal depletion, accelerated aging. Literature says here: High competence dependent self esteem correlates specifically with cardiac and exhaustive disease patterns including burnout states. Low self esteem predicts physiological dysregulation under stress and suppressed immune markers.

People pleasing: Core belief: “My existence is a burden. I am only safe when I am useful to others.”
Nervous system: Sustained sympathetic hypervigilance wrapped up in a parasympathetic state. The body monitors others emotional states constantly while suppressing its own emotional state. This is the fawn response, a trauma adaptation that keeps the nervous system perpetually on alert even while appearing calm.
Somatic consequences here: Chronic muscle tension particularly in the jaw and shoulders, digestive dysregulation, disrupted gut microbiome, sleep disruption, a vigilance that does not switch off at the end of the day.
Literature says about this state: Chronic people pleasing keeps the nervous system in sustained hypervigilance. Suppressed anger and chronic stress states and absolutely *destroy* the gut microbiome and reduce serotonin production, which means the nervous system loses the biochemistry needed to set a boundary. (much goes down in a body that didn’t express itself.)

Not that'll always turn out just like this, but this here really should be the standard goal and concept. Not this, "I want to move out and buy a house."

[Mountain Cabins @cabinsmountain]

Normalize buying land with your siblings and closest friends and building a place where your families can grow together.

Modern isolation isn't how people were meant to live. A few generations ago, extended families often lived just down the road from one another. Meals were shared, support was always nearby, and childcare wasn't a constant concern.

Bring back the village.
