May 1, 1969: Fred Rogers testifies before the Senate Subcommittee on Communications
I adore this video of Mr. Rogers, a hero of mine. Watch as he completely brings this hardass senator around by being himself and sharing his gift. It’s simple, but who else has such a kind and gentle energy? That’s not something you can fake. He was and is such a gift to this world.

I feel like so many people feel like you have to either be kind or be firm and he really shows that you can be both, especially for something you believe in. I wish I could learn this type of advocacy. If anyone knows how to, I’d take their course!

I just bought a “saint” candle of Mr Roger’s for my altar. I definitely consider him one of my teachers in life.

DANCING YOURSELF CLEAN
Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
