This is disgusting. What the hell is wrong with you?
No, dehumanizing insults have not "become way more common in political discourse." ONE PARTY has reinvented itself in the image of Adolf Hitler and similar tyrants, employing dehumanizing insults with the conscious goal of inciting violent rage as a tool of revolutionary political power.

Sydney Solis interviews Japan specialist Steve McCarty during her most recent sojourn in #Japan. He summarizes a #legend of a #woman #diver and explains its ancient #history, wholly based on original source research in #Japanese. Then both authors interpret its rich #symbolism in terms of depth #psychology. Among their conclusions is that #archetypes in the story, such as the #divine #feminine, activated by the natural #symbolism of #diving into the depths, could help #heal our modern alienation of the #mind from the #body and #nature.

Nice review of the evidence for banning phones in schools. This reviews huge studies across numerous countries. The big takeaway: there’s no effect on children’s outcomes. According to the latest evidence, cell phone bans don’t work.

I can confidently diagnose #betterhelp as sociopaths.
Promised therapy customers privacy...then gave their mental health info to advertisers.
Victims get less than ten bucks each.
Company made billion+ in revenue last year alone.
In a just society with good privacy laws, they'd face existential civil & criminal consequences.

There’s an important gap between “hope” and “optimism.”
Hope is not just about looking on the bright side. It plays the long game: enduring suffering with integrity.
It’s something Martin Luther King understood when he said “I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.” But hope makes us act, anyway.

Hope is not the same as optimism, a psychologist explains − just look at MLK’s example
Optimism can rely on a sense of luck, while hope is action-oriented − and often aimed at helping other people.The Conversation
