Alright I guess I should do my intro.

I'm Grace the Rat. I draw furry art. Sometimes I draw furry porn. Mostly I draw comics now. I used to stream on Twitch. I like boomer shooters, old sci fi and horror films, pulp fiction from like a hundred years ago, and my partners. This is not really meant to be a personal blog but until I feel more established on this site I'll be maintaining just the Rat Life official Cohost page oh yeah I'm in school for CIS as well and I'm a non-binary trans woman almost forgot.

There will be a website eventually.

i hate how thoroughly capitalism and "wellness" industry have poisoned the term "mindfulness meditation"

when the words come out of my mouth i feel like i'm talking about "manifesting", or embracing my "inner girlboss" or having a "growth mindset".

it fuckin sucks.

mindfulness meditation as a practice has been so important for us in so many ways, and it's infuriating that now the term is drenched in this connotation of corporate retreats and becoming a more productive manager. fuck.

SERIOUSLY

Mindfulness is a huge base skill for DBT that all the other skills are based on. It's a way of slowing down the space between thoughts and action to regulate impulsiveness and feel able to think through what coping skills will help.

But when I talk about it everyone thinks about the fucking Headspace App and the ways it gets prescribed to people as a way to Fix Stress when they're overworked and underpaid.

It makes me so mad because I really do feel like it fundamentally fixed something in my brain when I learned how to be mindful and returning to my mindfulness exercises always helps me center and ground myself.
