“I couldn't be confrontational. I was always met with reason and smiles; it's overwhelming. I felt something—like a shadow or an aura—and I couldn't be aggressive.” (Daniel Goleman, "Destructive Emotions")
What meeting aggression with compassion does on the aggressive person.
Food for thought.

I always silently rejoice at moments like this.
Just to complete the image: you folks like me out there, who had to cut parents out of your life, I hope you are, or will be, fortunate enough to find or create your family of choice that will offer you all the warmth the family of origin couldn't. ❤

Two psychological scales where extreme right score high / very high:
- SDO, Social Dominance Orientation (hierarchicy, "natural order")
- RWA, Right Wing Authoritarianism (rejection of democracy, inclination to seek "oneness and sameness", cf. Karen Stenner).
"I'm entitled, you're not" is baked in.

karakurt @karakurtEvery right-winger on the planet has one thing in common--their view of humanity ends at the tip of their own nose. You can't find a person alive who claims to be "conservative" who actually gives a ratass about the welfare of ANYONE aside from themselves--they simply don't exist10:31 PM - Sep 30, 2023

#writingcommunity I need help. A close friend died almost two months ago. I haven't been able to write since. I just can't seem to get the creativity flowing again. Anyone been through something like this before? Any suggestions?

Spoutible is different from Twitter.
We need to follow people to be “in the know” on this platform.
I am following people back, because having a conversation is so much nicer than a monologue.
Let’s engage & interact with each other and make this platform successful.
We’ve got this!

"Well, compassion might be good if you're a monk or something, but I manage people and need to be harsh when necessary. Compassion will make me mushy and errors will go unpunished!"

I posted this on Twitter in response to a question and I thought you all might enjoy it too. Lou Dobbs telling Stephen Miller to have the GOP pay me $500 million to stop beating them in court.

I'm a psych nurse and spend a lot of time teaching my patients breathing exercises and other mindfulness techniques to center themselves.

I'm a mindfulness practitioner and teacher. Mindfulness is sorely misunderstood today and quite polarizing, mainly because a dearth of correct information that led to inexact public perception. For those curious but weary, these are some popular myths / misunderstandings that I want to dispel.

Nope. You can add new spouts at any time indefinitely. Our platform will automatically add the new spout with the correct numbering.

I have only argued 4 cases in the US Supreme Court, but in each of them I was representing Black voters facing racial discrimination in redistricting.
And, I won all 4....

I’ve read several spouts about how to participate on this platform. I believe if you want to see Spoutible become a robust and sustainable product we need to actively encourage people by liking their posts, echoing their posts, and commenting as much as possible. That’s my opinion, I welcome yours.

Morning from Ukraine!
Sorry for being silent for a while. I'm here and planning to spout regularly.
Yesterday night was not calm here. We had drones attack. Eight drones were shot down near Kyiv. I had a terrible sleep, but now, after a good cup of #warcoffee , feel much better.

Yaroslava and her #warcoffee are a staple for me since the Russian aggression began. Follow her for an unadulterated peek into an Ukrainian's everyday life in the war.

While sitting here, having this cappuccino in a gorgeous paper cup, I thought:
- We have coffee and life here despite the war.
It’s a good point to start a hashtag #despitethewar and tell (continue telling) you how we cope with this reality.07:06 AM - Apr 14, 2023![Picture]()

It is CRITICALLY important that we build up this platform before the thick of the 2024 election cycle, because Musk bought twitter for the express purpose of controlling the news then.
Expect him to use Twitter to spread lies and help the GOP.
We can’t wait until then to build this thing.

Spoutible team and community - not sure how you managed to get eyes on your site from users, especially compared to the many other Twitter alternatives out there. But good job.

Last year, I had this family of lizards living among my Okra like they were in a forest all summer long. Looks like they are still around. Caught this little guy sunbathing among the garlic. The Spring wild life are joining the garden symphony.
