I enjoy documentaries where the footage comes from people who are shooting without a very good reason to be doing so. Top picks are likely:
- Exit Through the Gift Shop
- Grizzly Man
Very different reasons I liked these. And liked is maybe the wrong word for Grizzly Man.
Would love to suggestions of similar if anybody in this thread has favs.
We are definitely struggling against an unhealthy culture that makes this extraordinarily challenging. I think there is a misunderstanding where we think accepting greater support will decrease our personal autonomy and risk us being too reliant on others. However moving towards healthy interdependence should - and can - be an experience that actually frees the individual to experience more opportunity, greater stability, enhanced relationships, etc.
Thank you for being such a wonderful parent, listening to your daughter, and taking all of these proactive steps to help build her back up. I agree this is not therapy and it's devastating to hear that the school thought this was appropriate. Placing her in group therapy with the offenders implies she was somehow responsible for being a victim. As a former child and daughter who struggled to be heard, especially at 13, I really appreciate you for hearing her now and doing something about it now. This makes such a difference.
Personally, I feel like it would be great to normalize therapeutic supports to such an extent that we can let go of the idea they represent something being "wrong" with anybody. We have collectively developed this bizarre sense that we shouldn't need each other, that you should have to face your challenges on your own.
If you are personally in the position where therapy is accessible to you, I encourage you to go for it - even if there is "nothing wrong with you" (lol) - and then recommend it to others, talk about how it helps you grow and learn, etc. The mental health world is still fraught with challenging, dangerous stigmas and the best way to improve that is to show others that it's the stigmas that are dangerous, not the supports.
The title. My inability to actively keep my workspaces organized is driving me insane and I would love to just set it & forget it.
Any advice is appreciated!
Dig this a lot. Also, looks like they received a grant from FUTO last month.
Oh I need to know this story too. Do you remember which day and/or panel it was?
I found DBT tremendously helpful for learning how to navigate unstructured territory without becoming agitated by it. I have noticed my frustration tends to build up because I resist feeling uncomfortable, not because I am actually just uncomfortable. It’s counterintuitive and takes practice but it’s been eye opening how much something as deceptively simple as “accept discomfort” actually helps.
Omnivore has been great so far for me. And Obsidian integration is flawless
Beltline has them, in my experience renting in Beltline 🙃
Agh. Truly. Is there any way to reform the electoral system without relying on an elected party to make it happen?
Holy shit this is amazing. Stunning capture too! What did you use to ID?
I have heard it simplified as "what goes in, must come out". If you are experiencing high stress without processing the stress, it will create problems for you physically. However if you are able to integrate stressful experiences mentally/emotionally, you wouldn't experience adverse effects. So it's really a matter of whether you hold onto stress or not. That said, I think anybody who is able to manage stress effectively and with a great deal of understanding is also going to be actively working to minimize their exposure to stress to what they know they can reasonably handle. There are other factors as well, such as the quality of your diet, the type of community surrounding you, etc. The Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté addresses a lot of this type of thing for anybody curious about how things are linked. Also some good videos on YT if you don't want to read the whole book haha.
Have you managed to sort out a way to remain as connected to the city as you were before? If you are enjoying Lemmy/kbin, what stands out as something you would appreciate seeing more of in the Calgary community here?
I would be interested in getting more of a niche community going as I do really enjoy Lemmy overall and appreciate the somewhat slower pace as well. Curious if others feel a need for something like this and thoughts around it!
Seems like the main purpose is so users always control & own their own content, sell access/ownership/etc.? This is a full and pretty detailed explanation on the LBRY protocol if you want to really dig in: https://lbry.com/what
It was added as a temporary solution while there was construction going on at Eau Claire iirc

Footage from the tornado that touched down near Calgary earlier today. Gutting 😞

https://odysee.com/ is blockchain-based, built on LBRY. It appears to have similar features for discovery, interaction, etc. as YouTube. Still testing it out personally to see how it actually performs though!
Nice! I’mma check that out.
