Escapism refers to the act of withdrawing from reality or everyday life by engaging in activities or hobbies that allow one to escape mentally or physically. This can include activities like watching movies or TV, playing sports, reading a book, or in Baewolf and Wolf's case, video games... especially Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley is a farming simulation and RPG game that was created by American Indie game designer Eric Barone, under the alias of ConcernedApe and originally titled Sprout Valley. It's a charmingly creative, and very addictive game that challenges the player to restore their farm to its former glory, while also building relationships with other residents of the valley. As much as we enjoy the game, and we do, our engagement with Stardew Valley has us questioning the impacts that escaping into gaming can have on one's life; both positive and negative. Join the Wolf, Bull, and Baewolf in episode 82 as they discuss one of their favorite games, Stardew Valley, and the effects that escapism, especially in relation to video games, can have on one's life. We hope you enjoy the conversation and that it provides you with some food for thought when it comes to your favorite games and the impact that video games have on all our lives.

Uhm....... I did NOT plan this or go about this transition wisely.

They discuss Facebook's renaming to Meta, the semantic web, ChatGPT, a Turing test recalibration period, Rocco's Basilisk, the conversion of the real world into a meta-world, Elon Musk as techno-monarch, the limitations of his understanding of free speech, returning Twitter to the people who use it, Zuckerberg's Caesar obsession, Rushkoff's criticisms of GameB, the dangers of an abstracted "omega point," understanding the complex binding energies of GameA, dominant political isms as a result of industrialism, GameB's schism over personal vs institutional change, the need to actually deliver, coherent pluralism, what being a member of GameB will mean, dangers of a totalizing narrative, not knowing what GameB is, cultivated insecurity, rejecting the metaverse, GameB's resilient response to critiques, and much more.

Although it can often seem more convenient in the short term to turn to habitual escapism as opposed to dealing with the main issue that is causing us to feel stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated, Clay explains why this strategy rarely works out for the best.

228 - "Oh Brave New World that has such people in it!"Aldous Huxley's Brave New World shines a light on the fallacies of all collectivist movements. In pursuit of a greater good, the individual spirit is decimated through the pursuits of technological advancement and meaningless pleasure.The Brave New World has already arrived, as the masses have chosen to engage in an unconscious pursuit of pleasure.  Escapism is the root of what has allowed the Brave New World to flourish. Everybody knows there is more outside the illusions of comfort, but there is not even a thought to explore this realm because of the programming that's taken place.We must remember that the greater good does not exist. A collective is only maintained through an integrated group of individuals choosing harmony.Donate to support this show!PayPal | VenmoPurchase a copy of The Mystical Collection: Poems on Love, Freedom, and Awakening.Book a Donation Based Tarot ReadingConnect with Evan:Subscribe on SubstackInstagramTwitterYoutubeStart Your Own PodcastThe Fifth Dimension ShopIf you like the show, please subscribe & leave us a Review :)Theme Music:Highland Song by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Cover artwork: Ian YoungSupport the show

What kind of surprises do i have for todays show...........

On this episode, the hosts talk with Carrie Smith, co-founder of Brightside Sober Living in Austin, Texas. Carrie has been sober since 2006 and is a notable fixture in the Austin recovery community. Carrie grew up outside Houston, Texas, in a two-bedroom trailer with her parents and 4 siblings. She recalls a lot of drinking in her family. Her childhood memories start to become clearer around her early teenage years. Carrie had her first drink at age 12. She recalls how it changed her feelings, and she knew she would do it again. She remembers pretending she had a different life to escape from her own. Carrie turned to self-harm around age 12. Escapism became a theme throughout her life. She moved out at age 17 and, by 18, was in an abusive marriage. The couple divorced when Carrie was 21 years old. By this time, she was drinking regularly and using ecstasy and diet pills to get high. She struggled with mental health and attempted to end her life. Carrie moved in with her sister and was encouraged to start AA. She found a sponsor but didn't do 12-step work. Days after meeting a new man, she started drinking again. She recalls searching for someone to care for her and something else to change how she felt. Carrie later moved to Austin, spent a month using substances, and attempted to end her life a second time. Carrie's sponsor helped her get into treatment, where she completed 28 days. Carrie started to take her recovery seriously when she moved back to Houston. She worked the 12 steps and spent time with other women in recovery. At 5 years sober, Carrie received a bipolar diagnosis and made some drastic life changes. She started eating clean and working out. Today, Carrie participates in bodybuilding competitions. Although she says she still struggles with mental health, it's much better now that she's sober. Carrie's story exemplifies the importance of dedicated recovery work and accountability. #AddictionRecovery #LongTermRecovery #SoberLife #SoberAF #Addiction #MusiclsOurMedicine #WeDoRecover #RecoveryWarrior #RecoveryCommunity #RecoveryPosse #SobrietyRocks #Talksicology #TalksicologyPodcast #RecoveryPodcast #RecoveryUnplugged Talksicology is Sponsored by Recovery Unplugged.

Moms, parenting, and drinking have been a pop culture phenomenon by some estimates as far back as two decades ago, now known as mommy drinking culture. Today we speak with Kelley Kitley about the dangers of mommy drinking culture. And later, we discuss what we should be mindful of when it comes to our escapism this holiday season. Special thanks to Kelley Kitley, author & national mental health media expert.

Too much of something is never a good thing. Whether it's simple things like eating sweets or something more serious like being on social media excessively, there's a huge chance that it will become an addictive habit or mindset. But why do we get addicted in the first place? Addiction to something is usually a result of the dependency on that rush or high that we get from doing that act or habit repeatedly. A bad habit can create a “rewarding” effect, but that reward is definitely short-lived - or worse - is only masquerading as a benefit but is actually harmful to us. Addiction can lead to many things, one of which is negativity. This negativity comes in different forms, and so it is a must that we unpack the cycle of addiction and trace it down to its core so we could find the way out of this vicious cycle. In this episode, Andrew and Benjy mapped out the stages of the addiction cycle and drilled down to its root cause. As important as knowing the reason why addiction happens is to understand that there is a pattern to it. Knowing your addiction pattern and what triggers it are helpful in breaking that destructive cycle. Listen to Episode 153 to learn more! Unpacking the cycle of addiction [3:55] Emotional trigger on the top of the addiction cycle [5:03] How to deal with stress in a productive way [9:46] Unpacking the emotional reason why we do anything good or bad [11:38] Craving as the second part of the cycle [14:36] Rituals as the third part of the cycle [22:08] The Blessed Couple Podcast [24:32] Using (as in substances) comes after the rituals [27:26] How do you break the cycle of addiction? [29:51] Shame or guilt is the last part of the cycle [30:40] The realization that despite your mistake, you are still worthy of love [34:28]

When you're so close to a problem, it can be very challenging to see the way out. In moments like these, what you need is escapism or said differently, to distance yourself from the situation and your environment. Often, there are many influences impacting our decision. These influences are the expectations of others, the should's and have-to's. None of these are as important as that which is written in your heart. In order to arrive at that answer, you must drown out the noice, you must perform escapism. This episode is about giving yourself the space to decide what you want for your life.To subscribe, ask a question or comment, visit www.donnyraus.com.

Ellen Butler is the internationally bestselling author of the Karina Cardinal mystery series. Her experiences working on Capitol Hill and at a medical association in Washington, D.C., inspired the mystery-action series. Book critics call the Karina Cardinal mysteries “intelligent escapism.” Butler also writes historical fiction. Her WWII spy novel, The Brass Compass, recently won a 2022 Speak Up Talk Radio Firebird Book Award for historical fiction. The second book in the duology, Operation Blackbird: A Cold War Spy Novel, is Butler's latest release. The novel is inspired by true events. Reviewers are calling it “riveting” and “a thrilling adventure.” In today's discussion, we learn how Operation Blackbird was inspired by true events and how the tensions surrounding the Cold War when the book takes place invites comparison to today's ongoing concerns in Ukraine--and the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons.

SoulChef & Uptown Swuite - Bless The Child a 2022 single on SoulSwuite Music. New Zealand-based rapper SoulChef has been churning out soul and jazz-inspired hip-hop for well over a decade now, starting with 2010's Escapism. He focuses on invoking serenity through his thoughtful lyricism, meticulous productions, and head-bopping beats. He's also an endeared collaborator. For one of his latest singles, “Bless The Child,” SoulChef teams up with Bay Area-bred rapper and member of the Digital Martyrs collective Uptown Swuite, for a breezy jam steeped in nostalgia. In the song, the rappers forgive their former adolescent selves for their mistakes since it's not their fault they were products of broken homes. This isn't the first time the two have worked together. In 2020 the duo dropped the collaborative album SoulSwuite. At the time, Uptown Swuite told HipHopDX this about their relationship: “Soul Chef and I are of Samoan descent. Although I reside in California and Chef lives in New Zealand, New Zealand is like my second home. I used to live there and have real strong roots in the music/Hip Hop community of New Zealand. With this album, we really just wanted to capture the Samoan experience all around via our eyes — whether it be a Samoan living in California, New Zealand or even the motherland Samoa/American Samoa.” Watch the video for “Bless the Child,” directed by Digital Martyrs, and read the full post at KEXP.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interesting watching things develope over twitter court system lol just reading some tweets and random thoughts

You probably already know that I've become increasingly disillusioned with the use of plant medicines. A key book I read that significantly informed my decisions on this topic was titled Pharmakia: The Biblical View of Drug Use, by Robert Orem. This is a book that I often mention these days when I'm discussing plant medicines (and in my opinion, if you're using or thinking about using plant medicines this is a book you must read). Many people aren't even aware that the Bible refers to drug use (in fact, there are 37 distinct references to drugs in the Bible) but his book is more than just a thorough investigation into what the Bible says about drugs. It is also a powerful, hope-filled message of hope and love, and freedom from addiction for drug users and addicts, or folks who feel like they are heavily attached to or dependent on plant medicines. Robert Orem, the author of Pharmakia and my guest on this podcast, is a Christian former drug addict who researched the Bible's references to drug use for many years. A teacher in jails, treatment centers, schools, and churches, he recently launched In Step Fellowships, a biblical recovery group for all types of addiction.

So I have to be in tune with my purpose and values… it is what I bounce all of my actions, words off of and what my calendar resembles.  A distracted life is a half ass life and that is what you become… an ASS A-always S-seeking S-Something    2  They cultivate self awareness What do I need to work on? What do others think I need to work on? What are my weaknesses? What do those closest to me say are my weaknesses?  A tuned out life is unaware of what is stopping them.   3  They show empathy our world is filled with indifference. We think not caring is some type of super power. We spew things out of our phone or computer to let others know we not only disagree with you, but we don't care about how you feel. A tuned in person sees those who are bitter, hard, snarky, negative as simply people who don't have what they are looking for. Love them anyways.    4  They focus on positive People can be tuned into the possibilities or the problems. you either get to choose to be negative about things or positive. it is really that simple. It's not that you don't see the problems in your life- you do - you are tuned in to them so they don't get worse, but you also see the opportunities for success, answers, achievement and learning.     5  They are great listeners Do you want people to follow you and be around you because you are cool, accomplished, successful??? and guess what - If you do that is very shallow of you. How about they want to be around you because you truly listen. You know what that actually means you care. When you tune in to others words, emotions and their body language, it says to them “this guy really cares”!    6  They are stress resilient I am tuned in to what stresses me out and I am tuned into what builds my stress resilience. I have shared on this a few times, but stress is best beaten by having a full emotional tank. My emotional tank is filled up by daily prayer, scripture, a good book, working out, playing my guitar or drums, talking to my family and laughing. I do that every day. I am in tuned in to when I don't get enough of that and when and how to fill my tank.    7  They keep good company and encourage others I seem to have a problem in my life… I attract a lot of needy people. It drives my wife nuts. I tend to push away or drive away people who don't like strong opinions, or people who are used to getting their way through manipulation or people who are just not used to honesty. I don't care what people think I am going to be Garth and live for jesus. Now with that said “I have learned it attracts needy people because they want to be the same way and they think that by being with me it will make them like me… nope”.  long story short- I have only about 5 people in my life that I continually hang with outside of my mom, dad, wife, and boys. Ty, Scott, my sister, Tim & Amber. They feed me and I feed them. I am in tune with people who drain me and people who fill me.

Depression. Anxiety. Self-harm. Perfectionism. Escapism. Young people today are bombarded with internal and external forces which can wreak havoc on their developing minds. In today's episode, Julie and Jeremy reflect on questions they hear from friends, family, and patients alike. Are the kids okay? Are we in the midst of an adolescent mental health crisis? How did things get like this? How can we help make it better? At the helm of today's episode is our favorite therapist, Rose Metivier, LCPC. Rose provides valuable insight on the developing adolescent brain and the threats to the emotional well-being of young people. Rose reflects on the inadequacy of the American mental health care system, and suggests meaningful changes we can make as adults to perhaps make things a little easier for kids. Topics covered in today's episode include: Internalizing vs externalizing behaviors in mental health The role of social media in adolescent mental health Barriers to mental health access for young people How parents can support kids' mental health Why CONSISTENCY matters so much to kids The failures of today's mental health care system Mental health provider shortages How the pandemic/remote learning/isolation has impacted kids' mental health The benefits of emotional learning in schools starting at a young age Why "Inside Out" is such a rad movie :) Rose recommends these sources to learn more about mental health: https://www.nami.org (NAMI )(National Alliance on Mental Illness) https://www.namichicago.org (NAMI Chicago) https://www.wbez.org/stories/child-mental-health-resources-for-chicago-parents/2a871b49-3cee-4cf1-a381-4a201d8e0bb2 (Chicago mental health resources for kids via WBEZ) https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2022/07/feature-childrens-mental-health (No Going Back to Normal- Harvard Magazine) https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02206-9 (Tackling the Mental Health Crisis in Young People- Nature) For more episodes, limited edition merch, or to become a Friend of Your Doctor Friends (and more), follow https://linktr.ee/yourdoctorfriends (this link)!

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we wade into the sometimes healthy, sometimes not-so-healthy, yet always tempting waters of Escapism. Inspired by a listener's question, we explore and untangle all the ways in which people find ways to escape, why we feel a need to do this, and how to recognize when it's gotten a little out of hand. From Page of Pentacles and The Moon, to Three of Cups and Reversed Hermit, we dive into the mystery of this topic, it's hidden joys, and it's very real consequences. We invite you to join us this week as take on the topic of Escapism.

Bethany Bennett has returned to the Steam Seat and I am HERE for it! Ever wonder why we have billionaires and dukes and all manner of wealthy men in our romance novels? Escapism and fun, sure, but our brains are telling us something more.  Bethany and I dig into that. Plus we talk about her penchant for tipsy baking, her new puppy, and I get schooled in Regency vs. Victorian fashion. Then we talk about how we climb over mountains of past shame to write the naughty bits. Stay for me reading a steamy scene (and you know Bethany does amazing steamy scenes) from her latest book Dukes Do It Better.Connect with Bethany online:Twitter Instagram Facebook Facebook Reader GroupGoodreadsBookbub TikTok
