and therefore, please, no sense of #kinship. If you talked about #intelligence or #emotions in animals, you could become an outlaw. If you talked about watching horses take medicine, or #animals griefing, most people laughed at that crazy human.
It took nearly too much time for a change but it came. The primatologist and ethologist Frans de Waal was one of the scientists who impressed me, he analysed why the #mindShift in his field of expertise came so late. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/oct/06/are-we-smart-enough-to-know-how-smart-animals-are-frans-de-waal-review

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE? 
(This question focuses on your personal feelings, not the impact on the world)
@dpaldrich reviews "Connecting After Chaos: Social Media and the Extended Aftermath of Disaster" by Stephen F Ostertag which argues 'that during these most desperate of times, our shared concerns, values, and moral judgment come to light through cultural work' and may help build 'a systematic understanding of how people emotionally process and engage with the shocks to come.'

Another day, another cat. 
I’ve experienced a lot of anxiety today. Then there have been cozy moments sprinkled in: a rainy day, working at a coffee shop this morning, and watercolor this evening.
Life consists of a mix of both and. The challenging and the good exist at the same time. We don’t have to deny one to experience the other. Instead, we can accept the full range of human emotion.
Flower of life... This is Miraldi, #character from my #MonsterHunter #FanFiction story (https://is-a.cat/@madargon/113448920053510015), this time inspired by some psychology-related posters I saw many times in my life. These ones with anxious people surrounded by their negative thoughts.
I tried to present character's insecurities and traumas in similar way.
Have you ever expressed your feelings in public at a conference? Conferences That Work provide a safe environment for sharing how you feel.
As time goes on I have learned to embrace my #emotions a lot more. I used to hide from them, run, do anything but actually think through them.
I suffered, and I am glad I can now, and actually #reflect even if it's painful.
One I still struggle with is #grief especially. The three most precious people in my #memories are gone, and I'm still here.
Everything I do, I do for them.
When I see them again, I'll have #stories to tell about the things they wanted to do but couldn't.

When I a baby, my parents used to dance to this song and every time “hope” is sang they would lift me up to the ceiling resulting in a very happy baby. To this day, this song makes me happy to every fibre of my body.
The song itself is a protest to one of the ugliest Dutch words and influences on world history; “Ap*rtheid.”
