Tut irgendwie auch gut, sich das klarzumachen #selfcare

I've seen it written that rest is not resistance. But here is why I believe it is. They want us worn down, spent all to hell, out of energy. Resting, within reason, is part of how we keep ourselves strong enough to do the active resisting. If we push ourselves until there's nothing left, they've won through atrophy. So yes, rest is a *part* of healthy resistance. No, it is not a visible thing, but it is critical to the success of any other action.

Ich schätze, den Screenshot lasse ich mir als Tapete herstellen. 🫖Guten Morgen! 🥐 Es ginge schlimmer!

Heute ist der Tag ohne TV- oder Radio- Nachrichten wegen #selfcare

Good morning tooting friends. A lot of you have realised I haven’t been on here for a week & thank you to everyone for the messages, I didn’t mean to concern anyone. It’s kind of nice to be missed though, thank you ☺️. I decided that I needed time out for some good self care so turned off notifications, logged out & have stayed off all social media, most news channels & any reporting of the farce that was the inauguration plus avoiding most of the first week crazies I knew would happen. Not that I’ve missed it all, it’s unavoidable. So the only thing I will say about the 🤡 is to quote this proverb I came across - “When a clown enters a palace he doesn’t become a King, the palace becomes a circus!” & we’re going to be on the merry go round for the next 4 years.
Despite that I’ve a pretty good week, I’ve read, watched dvds & on demand shows, harvested cucumbers 🥒 silverbeet 🥬 & tomatoes 🍅 from the garden every day now & mowed lawns. I’ve been to the pool 🏊🏼‍♀️ 3 times this week, managing at least 1km each time - winning there 😊. I’ve done a couple of balance classes & some meditation 🧘🏼‍♀️ classes here at home all of which was lovely.
Last night I decided I wanted to finish the week with a walk around the river, but as today is going to be a hot 35c I needed to do it early. Up & out of the door by 6.15am & it was the perfect time to go & the perfect way to end my self care week - it’s been what I’ve needed. Home by 8am & I’ve just finished breakfast & watered the garden.
So I’m back, feeling calmer & less stressed, it was exactly what I needed. Now to get back to things.

Here is a globular springtail (around 2 or 3mm in size) floating on water and cleaning themselves with a water droplet. They use the water droplet to clean but also to moisten their skin as a way to retain water. As they are so small, losing too much water from their body is a danger. They are often found in damp and moist environments. This one was filmed in my garden a couple of days ago on a barrel which had filmed with rainwater.

Hello Fediverse!



We are a (very slow) movement of idle idealists, who want to save humanity from overperformance.

Please always write our name in correct camel case.

#AsSlowAsPossible

Pressure to perform is the enemy of happiness and the good life for everybody.
Sloth is a virtue.
In this society however, being lazy is also a privilege.
We demand a universal right to be lazy.
Nobody's laziness should create more work for others though. Including machines and "AI".

The aim is to consume less and live more.

Ok y'all, I know the vast majority of us are holding our breath, waiting for the shoe to drop next week when democracy dies...but, let's take just a couple of minutes to remember the wisdom of duck when it comes to self care.

It’s really hard to center yourself in a time like this, but remember you need to do that to be able to serve others. Please enjoy this video of mine from several years ago about self care in a crisis, why it’s not selfish, it’s necessary.

I am so glad I gave myself time this morning to listen to Ed Yong's talk from XOXO. https://youtu.be/ddy5uMdzZB8?si=vT8rVEuprpgEhJi4

Huge feels that came up for me about becoming disabled, worrying about my productivity, immunocompromised life under Covid prevention denial, getting well enough to go back to producing but realizing that is not good for me and not necessary, but still some guilt.
