Gifted Empaths With IMPOSTOR SYNDROME and the Truth About Feelings of Not Being Good Enough (Yet) YouTube video by Aligned Self Review

When did you, if ever, struggle with impostor syndrome? I have a new video out on this and would love to hear about your experience. I think it's heightened for whom I call gifted empaths, but obvs it can apply to anyone: youtu.be/uiutiv2hU3A

and we should lean into the ways we're *not* simply some secondary copy of the US. We have more nuance and we should lean into that

we definitely have the capacity and ability to at least start with Canada-wide higher speed rail, put more into existing and then add some higher speed lines to connect different areas so it's not just going to southwestern ON, although more is needed here too

just followed you all! Thank you... definitely interested in this area, super important part of our public discourse

The Crusade against America Handmaid Fails 3/3

"Misogyny is not the elevation of masculinity but its collapse, both as morality and as politics."

Highly encourage everyone to read Timothy Snyder's insightful, incisive analysis - more needed now than ever:

is there a replay anywhere, or will there be? Def interested to watch - just seeing this now

I also received this on a phone that I don't even have activated as a phone. There's no SIM card inside and there is no number attached to it. It's not on my home wifi. Literally, how is it receiving anything?! #BlueSky #emergencyalert #ONpoli #Canadian #CanadianSky

Why did people in Ontario, Canada just get a "Presidential Alert?"!! Who wrote this?!! #Bluesky #Canada #EmergencyALert #Ontario #ONPoli

and for anything you personally care about too, if whole departments might be annihilated, it could take their whole online presence with it as well, any place there's an open dataset, etc

Musk, Trump, Jr and maybe RFK, who is eating a McDonalds burger and a coke (not vegan, very ultra-processed)

is this RFK in the photo on the right, eating a burger and a coke? So, not vegan (as in claims I saw) -- and clearly not caring about food in the way he claims to. Instant integrity fail.

commenting so I can return to this from elsewhere... haven't yet seen a "save" feature here

there was already an algorithm at work everywhere; it's called social bias (includes racial bias, gender bias, status bias, profession bias, etc.). So when people think there's no algorithm here, this is what I think of.

AUTHENTIC and EMPATHIC Community for Higher Guidance - Reading Energy & Checking Our Logic YouTube video by Aligned Self Review

my latest video. Nice to meet you - I'm Shannon, neurocomplex (giftedness, healing from c-ptsd) and moving into authenticity coaching (best way to describe my gifts/ how I can serve). Yes I'm weird - and I also know much more than I ever give off/ share on social. youtu.be/WWXUaXepvOg

here now too for the clear-sighted analysis; shoutout to my fellow polymath women!

they could have said it differently but I'm glad, for the sake of science, that they made the distinction. Many in that circle are right about having healthier food (I've read it all), but blatantly wrong on the other ideas. It's a weird situation and someone else should do it rather than him

I want to pause here and acknowledge the colossal and accelerating contribution that Chinese researchers are making in the fields of climate and sustainability. This is chronically overlooked in the Anglosphere. Easily half of the most significant papers I've read recently were by Chinese authors.

Can some American please explain to me (genuine question) what "undocumented" even means when the person in question pays taxes and has a SSN for working and a driver's licence for driving there? I mean, .... seriously. From everything I've read it has no identifiable meaning.

NEED SOME GOOD NEWS?

The EU now generates more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels.

so they're hiring from Twitter

let me know if you find climate-specific ones for Canada too -- politics would also be helpful, especially our international relations scholars

I'm a rare gem amongst rare gems.

thanks, it's happened to me twice already

this pick feeds right into the fantasies of dismantling "systems" we see in conservative circles even in the EU. There's a lot of category mistakes happening here, it's such a tangle.

Beyond the Polarities Within: Bringing Our Selves Together Common challenges gifted empaths face on the path of integration

My latest article, based on some topics that came up in the webinar from earlier this week. #authenticity #integration

I have some technical aptitude when I really devote my mental resources to it, so I may not understand all of this on first read, but I'd love to connect with/ access some open source customizable option for building a community or private feed like how we're able to make starter packs here

yes! his analysis is such a gift to us - this one was incredibly incisive and sees the new terms of things - highly recommend this one

all of this. And efficiency (including options) in public transit connections that serve more than a portion of the northeastern US
