Today's DP is full of it, I tell you, full of it. "Why Is America Turning to Shit?" "If we are to truly reimagine the place of shit in our lives, we need to consider the harsh realities of who gets to shit in peace, and who gets to clean it up afterwards." Link here: https://lnkd.in/g5inA3Uz

The first blog post for my travel series “Seeing the People in the Places We Visit,” is out now and about my second home: DC! https://lnkd.in/gSAPGNZq

Today marks the anniversary of the most infamous day in human history - with barely a mention in the media. The day we proved beyond any doubt that not only do we have the ability to create technology that could obliterate all life on the planet - but that we are willing to use it. Let’s hope this collective amnesia does not mean that history will repeat itself. In fact, let’s make sure that it does not. Let’s establish a World Federation that has the power to outlaw war. Forever. Impossible, you say? Not at all. Find out how at https://lnkd.in/gxDKdNdX Continued existence without massive changes to the status quo? That is impossible.

This series explores the idea of Irishness and people's relationship with the country

Conflict -- Part 1: the Vibe Killer ☠ When I showed up at the Grove in 2020, I realized just how terrible with conflict I was. There was someone in the community who would constantly trigger me and I would just avoid it. My chest would constrict like a boa was around it, and I didn't know how to handle it. My nervous system was in mostly freeze, some flight. It all came to a head at the worst time 😆.. Many at the community planned this getaway weekend trip to a cozy winter cottage. There was a lot of excitement leading up to it…we arrived…a roaring fireplace…music…cozy scene…elevated states…bounty of food…in good cheer… And the person said something again triggering. My body could no longer hold the charge… and I snapped back at them . VIBE DEAD. Everyone stopped what they were doing and we took space to calm down. The weekend vibe recovered, but it left me with motivation to figure out how to avoid that. The more I explored it and practiced, the more I got fascinated by the complexity of conflict. Living in community thankfully brought many opportunities to practice and I’ll forever be grateful for the conflict partners over those months, awkwardly working together to try to resolve our tension. It was such a rich and beautiful experience that I’ll forever be grateful for. On the other side of the conflict was intimacy, respect, and trust. And each successful bout with conflict eased the grip of the boa. As certain conflicts in the community festered past one-on-one and into the lives of others, my personality became fascinated with deconstructing it and reconstructing a path for any conflict to break through to the other side. What I've been patching together will follow 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 Hi, I'm Kyle Gaarder. I believe community living can transform ourselves and our culture. I dream of a future where community balanced with individualism is common sense and accessible. I share what I'm thinking about to give possible value and find my place within the movement. #coliving #colivingspace #sharedliving #futureofliving #cooperatives #conflictresolution Mayank Pokharna Krishan Nattar Spencer Honeyman Chris Orcutt

It matters today, tomorrow and every day after that.

“One More Light” by Linkin Park poignantly addresses themes of loss and empathy. The lyrics reflect on the pain of losing someone and the importance of caring about each individual. Lines like “Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do” emphasize the significance of each life and the impact of loss on those left behind. This song resonates deeply as it reminds us of the importance of recognizing and addressing the signs of struggle in those around us. It’s a call to action to be more empathetic and supportive, acknowledging that every “light” is valuable. Question: How do you ensure you stay aware of and support those who may be struggling around you? #Empathy #Loss #MentalHealthAwareness #LinkinPark https://lnkd.in/gRC4Rs4g

Do you find yourself asking 'Is Recovery possible?' or maybe wondering 'Is FULL recovery possible?'  During our IG Live event on Wednesday our panel of lived-experience dove into that exact topic. Each panelist shared a different perspective given their experience, which goes to say the process of recovery is not linear; yet the underlying theme of each response was - YES! Recovery IS possible. Lydia shared that putting (ed) at the end of the word "recovery" it signifies that her journey ends, and she doesn't want to ever think her journey is over but rather wants to continue to see it evolve.  There is no final destination when it comes to recovery or life in general, we are human, and we are meant to evolve. That is the beauty of your journey. #recoveryispossible #togetherwecan #eatingdisorderawareness

Why are we okay with being modern-day slaves? 🤔🧱” Slavery never truly ended; it just evolved. From ancient times serving kings to modern days working tirelessly for corporate bosses, the chains may be invisible, but they are real. We sacrifice our time, freedom, and dreams for jobs that keep us trapped. Is this the life we envisioned? 😔💼 It’s time to break free from this modern slavery. Comment ‘Freedom’ below or DM me to learn how you can reclaim your life and escape the 9-5 grind. Let’s break the chains together! 🚀🗝️ #BreakFree #ModernSlavery #ReclaimYourLife
