Purple Psychology

I found myself ranting that social media algorithms are not to blame.. humans lack of love of difference is yet again the root cause … parents must help their children to be secure enough to choose their own algorithms and Gen Z are driving huge change in their choices 

Make sure you listen to the footnote for an important and somewhat ironic correction!

The colonial hub in the Middle-East called the Middle-East based on another Colonial land .. Can we decide no one deserves to die? Surely all the religions agree on this fact? 

The world is so disjointed for us now as creatives and ironically this book even though it wanted a massage of what is swallowed in progress and order is also a victim of the writer’s integrity … it’s not a teen book and it’s not accessible to the readers the earlier series it’s born from ….

The world feels like a soup you couldn’t possibly create an unconditioned reality in right now

or at least realised in advance of speaking that I am …  I certainly didn’t mean yesterday’s thoughts to be on the band wagon of Black History Month! 

Th people we need to offer compassion to are not in the room … they are not in any room and the people who speak to them don’t care about their needs.  There is no solidarity at the moment, ironically especially if you are white and speaking out.

Why it’s so difficult to be an INFJ right now 

My sense of time is very Druid.. it’s connected to the land and the seasons … what does this time of year of Imbolc really symbolise? 

Everyone has stopped talking about Gaza .. so that is my cue to do so once again … what is being done here on behalf of the Jewish people will haunt them forever…
