When your #stress is high, your body produces extra #cortisol, which feels awful (and causes problems).
My best #StressManagement / coritsol management tip is to add heat to your middle back (/lower ribs). Heat boosts blood flow to the adrenal glands, which normalizes function including cortisol production (and also blood pressure). Bath / hot water bottle / heat pack / electric blanket etc. all work.
Safe, low cost, easy for most people in most circumstances. (YMMV)
"After an apparent victory over communism with the end of the Cold War, democracy now faces a major challenge. The benefits of globalization did not reach all citizens, leading to a maldistribution of wealth. The dissatisfaction and hatred toward existing political parties and society of those who feel left behind have been amplified through social media, widening the division."

For the first time in almost 25 years, there are more dictatorships (91) than democracies (88) in the world.
Those numbers "underscore the serious decline of democracy around the world."

Friends, we're all increasingly overwhelmed as a baseline (except for some luckily privileged people &/or sociopaths). That means when we are acutely overwhelmed, it is tough.
Please give grace to yourself & others to the extent you can.
Please take care of the small animal that is your body.
Please let go of anything that's not necessary (you probably already have, I know).
Please reach out, please offer help, as/when you can. 1/n
I hope we can get each other through somehow.

@inquiline great piece, that puts many alarming but solidly proven findings in one place!
not all oil is burned. A lot is simply feedstock for the petrochemical industry to churn out plastics. And the industry has long seen plastics as its saviour
leading to
lobbyists are fighting to protect the ability of plastics producers to keep on producing
and
Petrochemicals—the sector of the oil and gas industry that produces materials and inputs downstream of petroleum—is expected to account for more than a third of the growth in oil demand by 2030, and nearly half of the growth by 2050. Needless to say, the petrochemical firms’ sustainability agenda consists of advocating for recycling, rather than production curbs
emphasis mine, since
Less than 10 percent of all plastics that go into waste streams are recycled
and then they detail several known harms from plastic itself, from human health to choked animals.

2025 is coined as a year full of emotional and intellectual fatigue, even existential anxiety in too many countries. The new #zeitgeist word: #Polycrisis.
Three years ago, still reeling from the recent horror of mass deaths due to Covid, I spoke about the "Polyplurimetacrisis". Writing about Dr Jane Goodall as a role model, I had no idea how topical and helpful the article would become: https://www.cronenburg.net/goodall/

A hopeful vision for how humanity can thrive beyond the emerging #polycrisis
What’s funny is that this essay, which you really should read, and Ece Temelkuran’s latest book, which I am currently reading, are arguing with one another in my head right now. I think a synthesis will probably emerge, but in the meantime (1) it’s A LOT to chew on, but (2) so refreshing to be in a shared reality with both writers.
