Group Share-apy Audio - Wednesday, July 24
Hi Patrons, here is the audio from our conversation today. Topics include:
Trying to heal from a fucked relationship with your mom
Not feeling valued by multiple groups of people in your life
Making sure to not fall into a victim mindset (it can be far too easy to do sometimes!)
The potential collapse of all the systems in the world that currently aren't working
Making sure not to slip into fear or panic mode when discussing these types of things
ARTICLE RECOMENDATON: "Closing The Collapse Gap" by Dmitry Orlov
Life Straw - a straw that can filter water as you go to drink through it
BOOK: Mother Hunger - a few of us have started to read it and, woof! It punches you in the gut along the way.
Ambiguous loss and hyper independence
Thank you to all who attended, I hope you enjoy listening back!

Edit: I meant the Atlantic Meridional Overturning* Current. And McKenna (sp? Sorry!), welcome to the Revolution!
I was a touch overinvested in Orlov's message and worldview. In many ways, his perspective is invaluable, but there are also some deeply reactionary aspects to his worldview. I'd like to think that there are unseen pressures or incentives forcing him to parrot certain party lines, but despair and PTSD may have done a number on him. Worth reading in depth, but with a critical eye.
