With burnout spreading like wildfire throughout progressive advocacy circles even before the COVID-19 pandemic started nearly 3 years ago – I’ve been feeling called to take the pod in a bit of a different direction this season. 2/x
So starting with this week’s episode w/the brilliant @Aisha_Nyandoro, @OffKiltershow will be leaning into another dimension of "off-kilter" – by talking to social justice leaders about how they care for *themselves* while fighting for economic justice and liberation for all. 3/x
Happy #SelfCareSunday! Today, let’s take a moment to learn a bit about our sense of smell and olfactory memory. 
Directly connected to the hippocampus and amygdala in the brain, the olfactory bulb is responsible for many of our earliest formed associations. That is where our scent memories develop and why smells can bring back such strong emotions.
For instance, think about your grandmother’s house. Imagine walking through it right now. What smells do you detect? Is it something sweet baking in the kitchen? A certain piney cleaning product? Her signature perfume?
Since it is #ShamelessSelfpromoSunday this thread will be all about what makes my podcast special.

Florence’s memoirs reveal that she massively fancied her female cousin “I have never loved but one person with passion in my life, and that was her” but being resourceful and generous by nature, she managed to distract herself by bonking loads of other women:

A #monk decides to #meditate alone, away from his #monastery.
He takes his boat out to the middle of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes and begins his meditation.
After a few hours of undisturbed silence, he suddenly feels the bump of another boat colliding with his own

With his eyes still closed, he senses his anger rising & by the time he opens his eyes, he is ready to scream at the boatman who dared disturb his meditation.But when he opens his eyes,he sees it’s an empty boat that had probably got untethered & floated to the middle of the lake
