Help me!!!

[myhauntedheart]

I'm drowning....

[toons-thought-junk]

Hello, I hope you are well. I am reaching out to you today with great concern and sadness😞💔, as my family and I in northern Gaza are facing significant danger due to the ongoing war. I have launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them from hunger and the diseases that are chasing us all and to provide a better future for them. Every reblog of the post on my profile can be a lifeline for my family and help me provide the basic necessities for them and get out of Gaza to a safer and more stable place.🙏 I humbly and gratefully ask you to reblog the post from my profile to support my campaign. I got a lot of messages asking me to verify my gofundme campaign however I sent some trustful organizations to do that and none of them answered me yet! If anyone have a connection with a real and trustful ones, who can verify campaigns please let them contact me directly. Thanks for your caring to give the donation for the right person.

UPDATES FROM UNIST'OT'EN

‘What’s been happening at the Healing Centre?

The Unist’ot’en Clan and the employees and volunteers at the Healing Centre had six successful land-based healing programs over the winter and spring, welcoming Wet’suwet’en people in need of treatment and healing from substance use and the trauma of colonization. The Healing Centre, with its remote location, offers a unique healing environment, allowing participants to enjoy the outdoors, go hiking or snowshoeing, take part in the sacred waters of the Wedzin Kwah, and otherwise be free to exist in a way that is impossible and unsafe in an urban rehabilitation clinic. At Unist’ot’en, participants are also able to engage in programming with their spouses and families, where as in other rehab spaces, participants are separated from their families and forced to heal alone.

The FNHA held a weeklong program at the Centre in June, with participants taking part in a Psychological First Aid Training and sharing powerful traditional knowledge from across nations. We hope to have them back and are grateful for their support of our work and space! What a pleasure to have you with us.

The annual Summer Work Party in June focused on Fire Prevention and Safety, with participants coming from all over Turtle Island and beyond, including New York, Washington, Montreal, and Germany. We cleaned up dry brush from all across the grounds, planted an herb and vegetable garden, and created connections and lasting friendships with both new and returning supporters.

Want to be a part of our Healing Revolution?

Come to our August Work Party!

We would love to have you join us in August. Come for as little as a week, or come early and stay late! We welcome visitors year round, but Work Party is the only time new supporters can come for less than two weeks.

But will I be helpful?

Yes, you will be! All skillsets are needed, but especially: Chainsaw operators, construction tradespeople, cooks, cleaners and organizers, gardeners, medics, fire fighters, drone operators, and people who love to get their hands dirty with hard work. Drivers are also needed, so if you have a reliable vehicle but only a few days to spare or are unable to stay at camp for long, please consider becoming a driver to get much needed supplies and people from Vancouver to Houston, BC.

What happens at Work Party?

We have structured days with three excellent meals and free time each evening for card games, hiking, and swimming in the clean river, just downstream from where we get our excellent drinking water. There is a set schedule for a morning meeting where we decide on our projects for the day and check in with each other about our capacities, then there are set times for meals, with projects happening between them. There are medics on site, snacks and drinks provided all day, tenting under the stars, hot showers a couple of times a week, laundry available once every ten days, and plenty of opportunity to get to know your fellow volunteers, the land, and the Unist’ot’en clan.

What’s happening with the Pipeline? Will I get arrested?

There is no active blockade on Unist’ot’en territory, and unfortunately the pipeline is still forcing its way through despite our clear and obvious lack of consent. Traffic from the construction still drives past our Healing Centre and disrupts our peace, but the chance of being arrested at camp is essentially the same as that of being in the city. By participating in helping to keep the Healing Centre operational, you are helping to preserve what few considerations are being taken by the province and industry. As long as the Healing Centre is in place, the river will be protected and her people will be able to continue to access desperately needed programming.

Okay, I want to come! What next?

Before applying to come to camp, please read the preparing for your visit page on our website and pay particular attention to the consent guidelines and guidelines for behaviour. Behaviour going against our guidelines will not be tolerated.

After reading the above page, we welcome you to register here! Please tell your friends and share with your community. The river needs you!’

Kindness: The Universal Language Heard by All

Have you ever felt the warmth of a genuine smile, even from a stranger across the room? Or perhaps the unexpected kindness of a helping hand has lifted your spirits on a difficult day. Kindness, it turns out, transcends the limitations of language and speaks volumes even in silence. As Helen Keller, the inspirational author and advocate, so eloquently stated: "The highest result of education is tolerance." Kindness is a form of tolerance, a universal language understood by all, regardless of background, culture, or ability.

This beautiful quote by John Townsend captures the essence of kindness: "Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see." It reminds us that acts of kindness have a profound impact, leaving a lasting positive impression that transcends spoken words.

The Power of Kindness:

Kindness isn't just about grand gestures. It's about the everyday actions that make a difference. Holding the door open for someone, offering a helping hand, or simply listening with a compassionate ear – these seemingly small acts of kindness can brighten someone's day and create a ripple effect of positivity.

The Science Behind Kindness:

Studies have shown that acts of kindness not only benefit the recipient but also the giver. Performing acts of kindness releases endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals, which can reduce stress, improve mood, and boost overall well-being.

Spread Kindness Today:

Let's make kindness the universal language we speak every day. Here are a few ways to incorporate kindness into your life:

Smile at a stranger. A simple smile can be contagious and brighten someone's day.

Offer a helping hand. Whether it's carrying groceries or offering directions, a small act of assistance can make a big difference.

Pay it forward. If someone does something kind for you, pay it forward by doing something kind for someone else.

Volunteer your time. Donate your time and skills to a cause you care about.

Be kind to yourself. Kindness starts with self-compassion. Treat yourself with the same respect and understanding you offer others.

By incorporating these simple acts of kindness into your daily routine, you can make the world a more positive and compassionate place.

Spread the word! Share this post and inspire others to embrace the power of kindness!

We should not push ourselves onto people (as friends or otherwise) who are not interested in being with us or are even grudgingly helping us! We should also remember to be genuine in the things we do, including when helping people!!!!!

Hey, FFXIV community. I need your help.

Hey guys, i have a pretty serious announcement right now. A friend of Lunar, Akiki Aki, owner of Club Dote in Dynamis, was working on their venue. fter having things mostly ready, her admins at the time, took 70 mil from her venue, and deleted important documents from the discord (pay structure, menu, prices, rules, court handbook, vip tiers/benefits) As for Akiki, we at Lunar would like to support her and get her things back. That is why Wiki and i will donate some gil, and i plan to do a 'charity' stream to raise gil for Akiki. I will also reach out to the community itself and see if they can help out too. I hope you guys do the same! Lets help out Akiki, and show that why the FFXIV community is so good! <3

No place like Home

A home is a primary need for ANY human life.

No matter what place you call home, the very word itself strikes a chord deep inside each of us. Home means sanctuary, the place we can rest, relax, enjoy time with friends, learn, grow … and just be. Our homes say a lot about who we are and what we think is important in life. Across cultures and over the centuries people of varied means have made homes for themselves and for those they care about. Humans have clearly evolved to be home builders, homemakers, and home-nesters. 

But unfortunately due to various reasons (i will be discussing in another post), over half a million people in America are currently experiencing homelessness. Most are individuals but there are also families with children, this includes people from every gender, race, ethnic group, age, social status, etc. This isn't only an American issue, it is worldwide but for now, we're only referring to America specifically.

The consequences of not having a home

Being without a home can negatively affect all aspects of life including your mental health. Being without a house also means a lack of social security, lack of health insurance, social isolation, health issues, malnutrition, lower life expectancy, unemployment, vulnerability to substance use and/or abuse, loss of self-esteem, exposure to high levels of pollution (depending on your location), lack of basic necessities, high vulnerability to crime and violence, Unsanitary living conditions, Severe weather, depression, anxiety, and it goes on...

In conclusion, living in the streets is very stressful

Imagine not knowing where your next meal will come from, or even if you’ll survive the freezing temperatures tonight? What would your life look like if the next 24 hours were filled with uncertainty, fear, and the lack of basic living essentials?

These kinds of situations can make a human go into survival mode which is an overactive stress response that drives people to obsessively think about painful things: things past, things to come, endlessly analyzing and solving for “what if?”. In other words – the worst version of brain overdrive you can imagine, all the time. It’s anxiety so powerful that it takes over your life –

So next time you come across a person living in the streets think twice about ignoring them or even going as far as being disrespectful to them, you truly have no idea of what they're currently experiencing.

I am not saying it is your or our responsibility to pull them out of the streets but I am saying it is human decency to feel at least a little bit of empathy toward them. It truly amazes me how cruel people can be to take advantage of their situation and treat them as if they're less.

Remember unless you are a millionaire you are one paycheck away (or one argument with your parents before they kick you out depending) from being in their shoes.

How do I feel everything yet nothing at the same time?

¿Cómo puedo sentir todo y al mismo tiempo nada?

Regalos de usuarios/pacientes que te dejan sin palabras♡ Gracias J.G.🥹✨️🙏 Personas como tú dan sentido a nuestro trabajo, ponen en valor la importancia de invertir en salud mental, y en enfatizar que trabajar en salud mental es vocacional pues sin implicación o sin empatía no se puede ayudar a nadie (de verdad). Dicho esto, el trabajo personal del usuario/paciente, es igual de importante para que todo encaje y la mejoría se produzca. Por eso TODAS LAS PERSONAS que luchan/conviven y se enfrentan cada día de su vida con un TMG o una enfermedad mental del tipo que sea merecen todo el respeto, admiración y reconocimiento del mundo. Es hermoso ser parte de ese proceso de sanación, no ya como paciente, sino ahora desde el otro lado🦋🧡 #saludmental #sanidad #sanidadpublica #salud #piscologia #psiquiatria #terapia #ayuda #ayudamutua #ASIEM #MentalHealth #therapy #HelpOthers #ILoveMyJob #ThankYouLife ♡ (en Centro de Salud Fuente de San Luis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBscenjM5R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
