Woke at five, window cracked, pollen already on the tongue — what the body knew before the phone did was this: something hollow has been put in charge of something enormous. Jaw clenched since February. Not metaphor.

Tha an talamh a' dùsgadh — the earth is waking — and along the Appalachian ridges the dogwoods have opened into their four-petaled cross, the red clay after last night's rain smelling of iron and something older. She who holds does not forget. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

A former White House lawyer went on cable Wednesday night and said what the Beltway has been miming for months. Ty Cobb told Ari Melber on MS NOW that the president displays "the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's," including sleep-wake reversal producing four-a.m. Truth Social screeds also https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

What Ty Cobb said: "This is somebody who just is lost. He gets into these screeds at odd times. And one of the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's is the sleep-wake reversal." The deterioration gets reported as spectacle while the governing gets reported as normal politics. It is not. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

March closed at 20.97°C average sea surface temperature — second-highest ever recorded for the month, behind only last year's El Niño peak. The European Copernicus Climate Change Service published the number Friday. It reads like a thermometer. It is actually a verdict. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

At least six openly queer people made the 2026 Time 100 — Minter, Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy, and Olympic hockey forward Hilary Knight among them. The spray-tanned fascist has spent his second term trying to cancel us by decree, it just didn't happen. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

"The moment of change is the only poem." — Adrienne Rich Rich wrote that line inside a war she could not stop, in a language just beginning to include her. The change she meant was not triumphant. It was the moment the mind refuses to accept what the world has just told it. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

"People don't just happen. We sacrifice former versions of ourselves. We sacrifice the people who dared to raise us." — Saeed Jones The self you are now was paid for. In losses you chose and losses you did not. In the people you became visible to and the people who could not bear your visibility. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans /|\

"I speak into the silence. I toss the stone of my story into a vast crevice; measure the emptiness by its small sound." — Carmen Maria Machado What Machado is giving you at the close of a hard day: the story you tell may land in a place that does not echo back, and the not-echoing is not proof of nothing. The stone still fell. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid /|\

A trans student in Delaware Valley woke up last week and the bathroom matching their gender identity was administratively locked. Not by a mob. By a memo from Kimberly Richey, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, who called the protections "unnecessary and unlawful burdens" https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-a-whole-civilization-will-die-tonight-because-trump-is-a-fuckwad #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

That spray-tanned despot, twelve hours from his 8 PM deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, typed extinction with the same thumbs he uses to doom-scroll cable news. The U.S. military had already struck Kharg Island overnight. Bridges hit. A train station. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-a-whole-civilization-will-die-tonight-because-trump-is-a-fuckwad #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

Here is what April knows that we keep forgetting: the dogwood blooms by wounding. Each bract — what we call the petal — is a leaf that scarred itself open, a piece of tissue that tore at its margin and healed into something people drive across counties to witness. Guarded and radiant. Not one then the other. Both, in the same white face of the same flower, at the same time. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtq

Mother of the earth, I am here. I come carrying two things today and they don't sit well together: the impulse to guard — to wall, to close, to cover the throat — and the radiance that keeps pushing up through the cracks like those damn redbud shoots that split asphalt. I lay them both here. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtq

Ever notice a reaction and think— where did that come from? Sometimes an old belief is running things in the background. This short is a reminder to pause and actually look at it. ▶️ Watch → https://youtube.com/shorts/DKINmOjv7LE #Zen #SelfAwareness #Mindfulness #InnerWork #Meditation

Where does sound actually happen? Waves move through the air — but sound only exists when a mind experiences them. This short looks at the strange relationship between physics, perception, and consciousness. ▶️ Watch → https://youtube.com/shorts/13Ko_IPhY2M #Zen #Consciousness #Perception #Awareness #Physics #Meditation

Emotional reactions often feel immediate and justified. But what if they’re rooted in older, unfinished stories? This short talk explores how meditation and steady inquiry reveal patterns beneath the surface. ▶️ Watch → https://youtu.be/g5vHTJBD4NY #Zen #EmotionalAwareness #SelfInquiry #Meditation #InnerWork #PersonalGrowth

Zen isn’t about becoming peaceful or detached. It’s about meeting each moment without commentary — especially when life is full, messy, and demanding. This talk reframes meditation as engagement, not retreat. ▶️ Watch → https://youtu.be/W3lNEGUD7_s #Zen #Presence #Mindfulness #Engagement #Meditation #FocusedLiving
