I'm an experimental psychologist who eventually found a path to <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SelfLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SelfLove</a> and a perspective of <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Gratitude" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Gratitude</a>. It was harder than it had to be.Working on finding my voice as a self-appointed philosopher of <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/therapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#therapy</a>. Hoping to build a small community, help others to find their own paths, and maybe share in a little bit of wisdom along the way.

@marylindelgado That&#39;s a fun article! Dennett has been my muse for 20 years. Increasingly though, I&#39;m convinced that words or thought have little to do with consciousness. I think we&#39;re mis-defining it.

Yeah just throw a whole bunch of caldo de pollo into your stove top stuffing and it&#39;s way better #JoinIn

@talia_christine On the lighter side there&#39;s Sushi Go, Love Letter, Point Salad, Quixx. DC Deck Building Game, Harry Potter: Battle for Hogwarts, and Lord of the Rings: The Card Game are all fun cooperative deck-builders. Azul and Wingspan are both beautifully themed, very tactile games, though Wingspan is challenging for some to get the first game going. Doubles Solitaire can be pretty fun too, especially with a nice set of Kem cards :)

@talia_christine @MKSinSA There are several variant rulesets for Catan floating out there on the Interwebs that let you play two players. Haven&#39;t played them myself, but here&#39;s one: https://catan.fandom.com/wiki/2-player_variant

@dunequotes@botsin.space That one&#39;s interesting! I don&#39;t remember that one, but I do remember, &quot;Seek freedom, and find yourself captive to your desires. Seek discipline, and find yourself free.&quot; They&#39;re not necessarily in conflict, but interesting in contrast in any case.

@COweatherman Oddly resembles a political map.

The very witty 2023 banned words list from Lake Superior State University! Apparently a fine tradition since 1976! Time for a little light dusting of the vocabulary going into the new year :) https://www.lssu.edu/traditions/banishedwords/

I&#39;m seeing Meyer lemons in grocery stores! Time to get those lemons preserved for some Moroccan food in a couple months, or anything you want to give a salty, acidic, citrusy, umami kick to. #cooking

@vmstan I got burned badly with a non-compete too. I wish the article mentioned how the FTC could enforce this, given that non-compete agreements are allowed by state law.

@travis I would definitely not have been into Khruangbin, but I&#39;m totally still into Faster Pussycat :)

The Texas Observer is about to shut down. It&#39;s been a bastion of fair news and challenging viewpoints in a (now) deeply red state for nearly 70 years. Our donations to their GoFundMe in the next half-hour have a chance to save it. https://www.gofundme.com/f/laid-off-texas-observer-journalists-and-staff

Online dating apps are terrible, and meeting people in the wild is hard. I just ran across a new social experiment, Pear Ring. The idea is, singles wear this aqua-colored silicone ring to signal they&#39;re open to meeting and talking with people. Who knows if it&#39;ll get traction, but it&#39;d be great if there were some alternative to online dating platforms. I&#39;m not affiliated with the organization doing this. But I feel like there&#39;s a timeline where this help...

@stevemc Well, this isn&#39;t my idea, and I&#39;m not trying to solve all the world&#39;s problems at once. I do imagine though that if you&#39;re (for example) a straight guy, and you see another guy wearing the ring, it&#39;s be really easy to walk up to that person and strike up a conversation about how it&#39;s been working for them.
