grief
An upcoming free zine on "digital grief" is seeking contributions.
"An invitation to art about deleting social media pages, abandoning convenient apps, and choosing to navigate the friction that resurfaces from using cash, calling, and in-person everything."

Soon after joining Mastodon, life became unnavigable, then my eldest daughter died. Life kept on, but took all energy to stay present for others. Over past 2 yrs, I turned to Mastodon to take in info,escape , comfort. Though I haven’t posted as was tending to grief, I am grateful for the kind folks here.
Daughter’s house is now sold with hope to breathe new life into its aching bones. She is with me always, in Boundless Love, but grief is lifting. Thank you. #ActuallyAutistic #grief #kindness
Transitions come in many forms—career shifts, empty nests, health journeys, relationship changes. Each invites us to pause and reimagine life on the other side. I’m opening a free, in-person Community Circle series for adults starting Sept 6. This is not a lecture, but a circle: space to breathe, reflect, and connect with others navigating change. Adults only; registration required. Space is limited!
“Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.” ~ Rumi

Rated A Quiet Place Part II 5/10
It's enjoyable but mostly forgettable. We do learn some new things about the creatures and I'm encouraged by what I'm seeing of the world-building especially where other people are concerned, but this needed to do more and with quicker pacing. It's great that it has something to say about young people and maturation but it doesn't do nearly enough to carry on the character development that was EXACTINGLY earned in the first film. A movie where Emily Blunt goes on to find her daughter and leaves the strange man to take care of her son and baby would've been a lot more interesting to me, but I also understand how that presents the potential for discontinuity. It is passable and holds things together, which is more than most sequels can so, so I really hope Part III builds on and expands the stakes. Give us more direct conflicts with and between humans, PLEASE.
