I don’t want a soft life because I’m lazy. I want a soft life because my nervous system has been in fight or flight mode since childhood.

My frontal lobe fully developed, and I realized that working a 9 to 5 job five days a week until I am 60 just so I can “enjoy” a few years when I am close to death is the worst idea I have ever seriously considered.

Right now Trauma Brain, the internalized voice of your bullies & abusers, is leveraging your self talk & mental focus to "sell" you a story about how you suck. It can be super subtle & persuasive. But once you understand it's a story, a sell job, a pitch-- you can't un-know it.

Hey remember kids! Politics pays, when dime bag Doug first came to power he was worth 3 million, recent accounts have at 50 million, that's the story that needs to be investigated!

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

A single NDP MP from Edmonton is a louder voice for Toronto residents than 23 mute Liberal MPs

Carney destroying our waterfront would be a historic mistake for this city and the Liberal Party

Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.

[𝗠𝘂𝗵𝗲𝗲 ♛ @muheediva01]

One of the cruelest things a toxic workplace does is convince good people that they are never enough. No matter how early you arrive. No matter how late you stay. No matter how many sacrifices you make. No matter how many problems you solve. It's never enough. The goalposts keep moving. The expectations keep growing. The recognition never comes. And somehow, the people carrying the heaviest load are made to feel like they're the ones falling short.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“One of the most underrated skills you can learn is the ability to ignore your mood and stick with the plan.”

$200 million taxpayer dollars…for a parking lot… for a private company’s spa.

All the while, Doug Ford says there’s no money for healthcare or education.

Some of you take these jobs way too seriously. No job is worth snitching on coworkers, skipping breaks, coming in on your days off, working unpaid overtime, or refusing to use your PTO or call out. Especially not for dead-end jobs with zero room for growth.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

The core skill of trauma recovery is bringing our attention back, again & again, gently & deliberately, to who we are & what we're all about. The main thing trauma conditioning does is try to relentlessly hijack our focus. The main thing recovery tools do is reclaim our focus.

THE OLDER I GET, THE MORE CERTAIN I AM THAT WE KNEW EXACTLY WHO WE WERE WHEN WE WERE LITTLE, AND THEN ADULTS TALKED US OUT OF IT

[Tom Parkin @TomPark1n]

This fake consultation asks in what way we should let Doug Ford destroy decades of work to improve Toronto’s waterfront

And with that, we are now fighting Mark Carney’s plan to destroy decades of work to improve Toronto’s waterfront

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

CPTSD survivors who are serious about recovery are in this complicated spot of having to accept we bear no responsibility-- none-- for having been abused or neglected; & we have to take radical responsibility for what we do w/ our lives now.

Because no one is coming to save us.

If you are opposed to the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport in downtown Toronto, here's your opportunity to let the federal government know. Emails to your local MP are also highly effective. This is what they pay attention to. Flood the zone.

[Graham Churchill @GraChurch]

Both Porter and Air Canada already fly out of both airports. Pearson just broke ground on a $3B+ expansion. We don’t need a $5B lake-fill project at Billy Bishop that will undermine Ontario Place, the Islands, the Port Lands, and the waterfront.

This push exists because Nieuport Aviation (backed by J.P. Morgan Asset Management) bought the terminal from Porter in 2015 — and it’s not delivering. Traffic remains well below pre-COVID peaks (~1.75M vs 2.8M). Ford’s former Deputy Chief of Staff, Mark Lawson, has been lobbying hard for Nieuport and he has Ford’s ear.

A better idea: Swing bridges on the Eastern + Western Gaps for ped/bike/trolley access. This would open up the entire waterfront from the Beaches to the Humber. Turn the Islands (tied to the Port Lands) into a world-class car-free park like NYC’s Central Park or Chicago’s Millennium Park — year-round tourism, recreation, no more ferry bottlenecks.

Waterfronts are for people, not runways. Toronto has aspired for decades to be a great city but consistently screws it up. Let’s finally do something to make Toronto a city we can be proud of.

[Green Party of Ontario @OntarioGreens]

Reporting from the National Observer shows that passengers numbers are down year over year at Billy Bishop.

Despite that, Doug Ford wants to fly thousands more jets over Toronto's waterfront.

Expanding Billy Bishop benefits American banks, not Ontarians.

Reciprocity means if you do something for someone else, at some point, they will do you a solid in return.
Dark personalities (narcissists, psychopaths, coercive controllers) do not follow this natural law of humanity.
They will not feel obligation if you contribute to them.
