@hendycreek Burn out is really just your body and mind catching up with the fact that the world has been expecting too much of you because late stage capitalism has ingrained in us the need to constantly be working – both professionally and personally. #burnout #capitalism
I think my vote for Jagmeet Singh as NDP Leader in 2017 was the right one for that moment.
But this is a new moment, nearly a decade later, and I often wonder what a world where Charlie Angus was currently the NDP leader would look like…
Canadian MP Charlie Angus deliverers a direct message to Donald Trump before the inauguration.
He starts out by saying you’re a disgrace as a human being! and it only gets better from there.

“Begin The Begin” – R.E.M. with Eddie Vedder
If you read the Bible and think it’s anything other than fiction, it’s not that hard to have a higher IQ.
A very unique take on the musician biopic featuring a massive star from the UK that Shea and I both really like (I was in England in 1995 when his boy band, Take That was big and still remember the girls swooning over bad boy Robbie.) so very excited to see the new movie about his life and career…

I didn’t really have to change the inscription in the coffee table book of prairie photos I gave my Grandma Hammond when she moved into the Golden Prairie Nursing Home in Indian Head when my mom moved into the same facility – just had to change the date and add the names of our kids – even still safe to leave it as “Gram Ham”!
In essence, organizations focus wrongly on trying to “fix” individuals (I-Frame) rather than the systemic (S-Frame) issues that create or exasperate mental health issues for staff.
Always love year-end “best of” lists – this one about good tech advances that stand to benefit humanity.
Really getting back into R.E.M. lately. So many good songs and albums that soundtracked some of the most important and memorable moments of my life.
