Haven’t Putin and Trump decided Europe and the Middle East must be taken at all costs, after which China, India and Pakistan can be dealt with? If only the ultras had to reap what they sow; it’s all grounded on protecting inequality, injustice, ethnic supremacy and ecocide. Oligarchs, can burn in hell. Empires end! #DiverseInterestsDemocraticRights ?#EcocideEmpire #Apathy #Greed #War #Cruelty #Violence #Trauma #Terror #ArmsRace #EcocideWars #Oligarchs #Cleons #TheFederation #Foundation

@jensclasen Setzt voraus, daß Betreffende selber merken, eine "tickende Bombe" zu sein. Menschen mit einem schweren Kindheits- Trauma können über Jahrzehnte ein völlig stabiles Leben haben ... bis durch ein zufälligen Trigger die "innere Bombe" knallt und dann nicht mehr zu stoppen ist, bis sie erschöpft ist. Selbst wenn Betroffene Hilfe aufsuchen, ist es für Therapeuten u.U. die Suche nach der Nadel im Heuhaufen . . ohne Gewähr auf Erfolg! War bei mir ähnlich, nur mit Erfolg.

Some books you read. Others read you back. 📖✨

Returning to Atwood's Cat's Eye (again).

Every re-read reveals new layers about how institutions fail us, how #trauma shapes #perception, and how #art becomes #survival.

As someone who's lived through foster care, medical gaslighting, and academic #ableism, Elaine's sharp observations of power and complicity hit differently each time.

Literature as a mirror and a map.

Alt-text: Paperback copy of Margaret Atwood's "Cat's Eye" resting on layered vintage lace and patterned fabrics. The yellow book cover features two girls in summer dresses sitting close together, with "Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize" noted below the title. Secondary Description: Like an archaeological discovery, Atwood's Cat's Eye emerges from layers of intricate lace—delicate paisley spirals and floral motifs creating a textile palimpsest beneath the book's weathered spine. The cover's two girls, frozen in their childhood intimacy, seem to whisper secrets across the ornate fabrics that cradle them. One blonde, one brunette, they sit in eternal summer yellow, their small bodies pressed together in that particular closeness that precedes betrayal or transcendence. The decorative patterns beneath—swirling paisleys like fossilised tears, geometric flowers blooming in black and white—create a mandala of memory, each thread a story within the story. The book rests here not merely as an object but as a portal; its Man Booker Prize notation is a quiet testament to the power of bearing witness. In this tableau, domestic beauty and literary weight converge, the delicate lacework beneath echoing the novel's intricate exploration of girlhood's sharp-edged beauty—all surfaces and hidden depths, patterns that conceal and reveal the truths we carry.

Small incident today where we were on hand to help a local farmer with a severe leg injury due to a mechanical blade related accident. A deep 10cm cut to the calf.

Ambulance crew arrived, did their work and loaded the patient for hospital.

However, they also left behind on the roadside a pile of bloody bandages and empty packaging.

Pretty disgusting mess really. Expected more from professional and trained ambulance crews.

@appassionato @bookstodon Thank you for recommending this powerful book. It is indeed a book for these times as people around the world are driven from their homes, communities and lives due to war, #climateBreakdown, persecution, #poverty, #fascism, and any number of other factors that rip us from the places and people we love. The life of a #refugee is no picnic nor is the #trauma that they carry as we read of these #Syrian refugees. #books #bookstodon #literaryfiction

In der Ukraine haben unser Partner "Empathy Ukraine" und wir die erfolgreiche Pilotphase eines Empathie-Projekts abgeschlossen.

Frauen, die ihre Ehemänner verloren haben, Männer, die sich von Traumata erholen, Eltern, Lehrer*innen, Veteranen und Staatsbedienstete - sie alle fanden jemanden, der ihnen wirklich zuhörte und ihnen half. Und sogar eine Stadtverwaltung lernte das empathische Zuhören.
