[C] Hiraeth... If a word's been spoken that holds more power, that speaks more poignantly to the hearts of those imprisoned here? I've never heard it.
[S] Hiraeth, the city of dreams beyond suffering.
[Tr] Hiraeth, because any place is better than earth!
[P] If there happens to be any extraterrestrials listening? Our request for asylum stands.

Analysis: "The ‘Pick Me’ mindset and childhood trauma"
"For a long time, I thought I was different—better, even—than other women."
I dismissed women’s opinions, rolled my eyes at anything too girly, prided myself on being one of the boys, believing "it made me smarter, cooler, above all that "feminine drama".
"But the truth? I wasn’t different. I was just drowning in internalized misogyny."

TITLE: Merely Watching Scenes of Nature Can Reduce Pain, Says New Study
URL: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/merely-watching-scenes-of-nature-can-reduce-pain-says-new-study/
A new neuroimaging report says merely looking at nature can help ease how people experience pain by reducing the brain activity linked to pain perception. It is well known to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression as well, and the report serves as a reminder of how much good the great outdoors can do for […]

Health anxiety can take a serious toll, and Dr Google doesn't help
By Shelby Traynor
Health anxiety, which is characterised by excessive worrying about illness, is a real condition that can — somewhat ironically — make you sick. But it's also treatable.

Hello everybody!
I guess it is time for an #introductions
I am June, from Vancouver, Canada. My gender is 422. 
Gosh, I'm supposed to describe who I am and my life? No idea where to start.
I am an extrovert, survivor, and kind of 3 cats in a trench coat, pretty sure one of them is a racoon in disguise.
For what I do: I develop my own video games (Unreal), make art in various mediums (traditional, digital, photography, 3D, interactive,...) and DJ for my friends. I love hikes, road-trips, raves, novelty and being like, super weird. I also freedive a lot and read mental health scholarly articles for fun.
I do not especially identify as transgender, but gender transition is what I am engaged in.
I am part of a polyamory / relationship anarchist family with my partner, where I am helping raise a lovely (and quite hilarious) child.
I am currently in collaboration to attempt at creating a prosocial co-op studio with a friend, hoping to bring mental health-focused cosy games on the market. Because, you know, late-stage economic and environment collapses are kind of turning everybody a bit mad.
I am a big proponent of finding joy, grace, support and hope when facing struggle. One faces pain easier when equipped with joy, and one accesses joy easier when facing pain.
As diagnosed AuDHD +& in resolution stage, I write about philosophy, social justice, transformation, decolonization and mental health. I also do pro-bono trauma coaching and crisis support for gender and neurodiverse communities and consulting services for therapists looking to better support clients on the neurodiverse & dissociative spectrums. (I would argue that going into the mental health field after 15 years in games is kind of the pipeline 
).
Regarding who I am? If you're a bit into tarot, I'll say that I could identify as the explosive mix of The Fool, The Magician & The Empress. Something like that: I enjoy traveling between worlds and seeking natural truth.
Nice to meet y'all!

40 years ago today, Mikhail Gorbachev became leader of the Soviet Union. His policies of glasnost (“openness”) and perestroika (“restructuring”) and his negotiations with President Reagan over strategic nuclear arms contributed to the end of the Cold War, ended the Communist Party’s hold on governing, inadvertently led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and […]

"Theory of mind"
And why it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
A thread.
Climate-related disasters consequently have profound and lasting effects on mental health, leading to trauma responses and dissociation as subconscious coping mechanisms. It is therefore essential to understand these coping mechanisms, to drive impactful climate action
