So I was rewatching the hbomb plagiarism video to get some chill morning embroidery time in and I got to the bit about Radclyff Hall and her book, The Well of Loneliness, about lesbian WW1 ambulance drivers, and the video says all of her books were ordered burned, but I was curious and fam. At least one person hid their copy. It's on Project Gutenberg Australia. So if you want to read about lesbian ambulance drivers in the first world war...

#I don't particularly want to read about ww1 ambulance drivers rn no matter how lesbian #mostly because I don't even have time to read the cnovels I do want to read right now #but I thought this was a good thing that should be shared #Radclyff Hall #james somerton #hbomberguy #Loxie has words #my embroidery is going very well but I'll have to stop soon and finish catching up on my physics lessons #this course is hybrid so I need to watch all the videos before class monday #which is also the very last class this semester #I'm very excited

Mental Health Spotlight: Jasmine Marie, Founder of black girls breathing®

Jasmine Marie is a speaker, breathwork practitioner, and the founder of black girls breathing®. Her work is innovating the wellness, healthcare, and research industry by making mental health services accessible to Black women while filling in the gaps of data and research available on this underserved and underrepresented demographic. Marie plans to impact one million Black women and girls with her work by 2025. She is a serial founder with a past life in global haircare brand marketing and an alum of NYU Stern. The impact and range of her work to date is expansive—ranging from underserved minority communities to stressed-out college students and executives. She’s brought her expertise to elite colleges such as Harvard Business School, Columbia University, and Cornell University, and her client list includes corporations such as Estée Lauder Companies, Under Armour, Capital One, Ford Motor Company, Facebook, and Twitter. Marie has been featured in Oprah Magazine, Good Morning America, VOGUE, Forbes, Harper’s Baazar, Marie Claire, Glamour, Nylon Mag, Wall Street Journal, and Black Enterprise, to name a few.

What is black girls breathing®? And why was it created? black girls breathing® is a safe space for Black women to manage their mental and emotional health and heal trauma in their bodies with breathwork and community.

I created black girls breathing® after finishing my breathwork training and seeing so few facilitators that looked like me yet knowing how much chronic stress and trauma (generational, societal, etc.) and decided to create it. I used my background in business to help me develop a model where we could provide this work accessibly.

Do you have any secret hobbies, skills, or interests?

I don’t think I have any secret hobbies but for a while, I would always feel embarrassed whenever anyone asked that question, as a lot of my hobbies can maybe seem boring to others lol. But I love to read. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. I love having quiet time…any activity that allows me to feel refreshed, sit with my own thoughts and enjoy my solitude. I think because I deal with so many people’s energy that in my spare time, I just like to spend time with self. I love to cook though…it’s a very meditative activity for me that allows me to unwind from my day.

How did you get started in this work? And why is it important to you?

As mentioned above, after my breathwork training, I realized there were so few Black breathworkers. But before that, I found breathwork while being stressed out after graduating from business school at NYU and working in beauty in NYC. My nervous system was so fried I began having physical symptoms…rashes and an inability to sleep. The doctor would see me and always say, “This is stress. How can you reduce your stress?” Fast forward to me finding my first breathwork class and falling in love with the way it allowed me to just feel more space in my mind and body.

WOW — ONE MILLION Black women and girls breathing by 2025 what an ambitious goal! What impact do you see this having?

It is an ambitious goal, but in 2020, we fundraised $55k to make our work accessible for one year. After the year was done, it was so clear that we couldn’t stop there. So many Black women needed this work, and we would hear that over and over again. So I decided if I was going to do this work, I was only interested in creating real impact and a goal that would signify that. Imagining 1 Million Black women using breathwork as a tool to regulate their nervous systems, heal from compounded trauma and reduce the effect that chronic stress has in our community (health challenges linked to chronic stress: heart disease, high blood pressure, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, fertility issues, and the list goes on) will not only affect them but our community as a whole. Ending the passing down of generational trauma and normalizing healing.

What would you suggest to people who feel like they cannot find the time to breathe or practice mindfulness?

I would first affirm that it’s okay they feel that way. Western society has done a great job of making us feel that anything outside of productivity is not only a waste of time but the least important thing we should make space for. Making time for yourself for any mindful activity can be eased into and it can start with being more aware of the present moment and practicing that action on a daily. Maybe you create a routine where every morning for 3 minutes right when you get up, you take a moment to be still, notice your breathing pattern and focus on each and every inhale and exhale.

Why is Black representation important in this industry?

The wellness industry isn’t unlike other industries where Black representation is lacking. I think it’s important to see other Black women caring for themselves because, historically, we’ve been taught to do the opposite for oh so long.

Where do you find joy?

I find joy with my family and my loved ones, in intimate moments with friends, in good food and conversation, and in being able to create something and see it grow, shift, and evolve.

SHAWNEE SMITH as AMANDA YOUNG SAW III (2006) dir Darren Lynn Bousman

#filmedit #filmgifs #horroredit #horrorgifs #amanda young #* #mine: gif #mine: misc #m: saw iii #happy mandy monday everyone #today i am thinking about how amanda desperately wants to believe that people are good #that they're capable of forgiveness and change #but she's so traumatised and so lost in john's cruelty that she can no longer see the good in humanity #no matter how hard she tries and how much she wants to #because she is just. surrounded by cruelty all the time that it drowns out the good. #and she hates herself so much that she thinks SHE'S incapable of change. and therefore thinks everyone is. #if people can save others and love others and forgive others then why will no one save her or love her or forgive her #why can't she save herself or love herself or forgive herself #she's not good enough. so nobody is good enough. #because isn't that what amanda's games are at the end of the day? a projection of her self harm? #hurting others the way she hurts herself so they don't have to be confronted with the things she believes to be true? #amanda kills because hurting and being hurt is all she knows. #but also because. in some ways. #she believes she is doing people a kindness. #it is better to be dead than to live with the knowledge that everyone is inherently bad and nobody can change #oh mandy. oh mandy.

I went down a bit of a Martian rabbit hole today and came across these pictures of Sebastian Vettel congratulating Mark Webber for winning the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix.

Uhh…let’s just say I went a teeeeeny bit feral. *glances guiltily down at my broken fingernails* Oops…! 😳

Look at these pictures and tell me they don’t look like they were about to kiss each other right there and then. I DARE you!

Apologies if these images are all out of order. That’s just how I ordered them! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Seb is the type of guy who technically *would* kiss Mark if an opportunity presented itself #I mean he was brave enough to give David Coulthard a peck on the cheek at a Japanese press conference so… #I want them to kiss so badly! #On the cheek or on the lips? Doesn’t matter! It’ll make my Martian brain happy either way~ 🥰 #I love them with all my heart your Honour #I feel much better from the cold but not from the Martian fever #It’s a fever that’s everlasting and cannot be cured 💕 #martian monday #martian #sebastian vettel #vettel #mark webber #webber #formula 1 #f1 #2010 #2010 monaco grand prix #2010 monaco gp #red bull #red bull racing #not bad for a number two driver #monaco #monte carlo
