Don't be delulu. As per after-midnight BBC feed on our Oregon Gone Gone Public Radio this is now a new word entered into our lingo! As in, delusional. Love it, thanks for letting me try it on...
Seriously everything you write is so powerful and yet simple -- the best IMHO way to write. Your voice, particularly on Gaza, is a guide through the darkness of our sick western culture. This list of navigation tips is invaluable. Thanks
This is beautifully expressed. Caitlin. It demonstrates very powerfully why we all need the kind of sound, ethical base that you possess, from which you can demonstrate the kind of insight and compassion which informs your work. And also, of course, builds a shield to help protect you form the deranged attacks you will attract for speaking the truth, as well as having to face the world's indifference to the New Holocaust we are witnessing, with the distress it is bound to cause, and which we feel powerless to stop. But at least we can document and explain it, unbound to the denial and outright lies/indifference which is the default Western view.
AT THE SAME TIME, WE IN THE U.S NEED TO ADDRESS AND CONFRONT HEAD ON THIS SAD, INDISPUTABLE FACT: ONLY A BLACKMAILED PRESIDENT WOULD ALLOW STARVATION AND FUND GENOCIDE OF A DESTITUTE POPULATION.
Epstein, Mossad equals Trump. No one could be regarded as intelligent and say what he does, basking in his megalomaniacal atmosphere, if he wasn't so sure of his safety.
However, his end is coming, one way or another.
His replacement will be made of the same stuff, however, bought and paid for by the same locally placed American/Israelis, (that should read Israelis hiding in America).
So a little way to go yet before the air becomes fresh and clean.......and decently American again.
Excellent advice. Paying attention to only one side of the News not only narrows your view but sets you up for manipulation. False stories on both sides of the spectrum have pretty much caused every war of note in history. Never forget that both sides at some point were humane. This is where Israel differs. It isn't that it's an anomaly. It's that it was started with a lie and with evil intent on the part of its creators. When it was founded the Western powers were already well on their way to losing their humanity.
I’d add too — be aware of what you’re buying. A friend recently had a garage sale to reduce the amount of stuff they are going to move and she was shocked how much stuff she threw out, donated, or sold, proving she said how much money she wasted and how much land fill she generated. We worry about co2 but we’re turning the world into a trash heap. We all need so much less than we buy. She told me from now on before she mindlessly buys anything she’s going to ask herself - “is this a future garage sale item?”
A concise and prudent piece of perspective. It works well, must be your concise construction in those words that enables its way into consciousness without unnecessary stuff to consider. How relevant.
How did you know I needed to hear this? ♥️
Agree with you everything here! In this crazy world we find ourselves, we have to find the good in the bad. Good news is, if we listen, it’s there.
Phenomenal piece.
PS: here’s a piece on how to filter out the good information from the bad: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-information-reality
"Hold no loyalties to the collective delusions of your family, your social circle, or your culture."
Drop ideology, as it similarly short-circuits critical thinking.

Oh yes, I see beauty every time a Mercaba is blown up by the Palestinian Resistance.

How to stay sane in an insane world....
Caitlin and Tim 🙏 Sadhu, sadhu!
Beautifully said. All that I have been trying to live my life with. My bottom line is " do no harm to yourself; do no harm to others".
Thank you.
I agree but it wont make you rich in money, The US culture is money,money and more money and they don't care how they get it.
💯. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR HUMANITY.

The reason for it all, Alan.

This is really beautiful, Caitlin and Tim. I'm old and I've tried to live like this. It has often been challenging but always been worth it.

If everyone really wanted to save the world with concrete actions, we would all find ourselves united together to save the world.
These are the concrete actions. This is how we unite together.
A New Eden Heaven on earth in 6 steps - 8/18/25 - Dr. Meghan Roekle on substack
In my opinion, concrete actions are not the words spoken and/or written but behaviors with respect to the economy, consumption, etc.
Natural "law" in a free world -not operating from a scarcity mindset freely resolves this. A gift economy. Not consuming more than you need.
I needed this….

Great advice.
