    #BelfastME - Kindling Collective Rest and Recharge Fall

    October 10, 2026

    "About this trip:

    Rest and Recharge is an event for folks who take part in #CommunityCare work who are looking for rest and connection.

    KC is committed to creating programming that is responsive to our community. We’ve heard from folks who are deep in local community care work that they are exhausted, overwhelmed and struggle to find time to rest. In collaboration with #MCHT , we put together two day events inviting organizers to be with the land and seek rest/play. Join us for the second of these events on October 10th in the Belfast area (specific location provided after registration). #DanielleArroyo and #DaeneKugel will hold this space and offer a guided #NatureWalk and optional #crafting projects. Music and vibes courtesy of Kafari. Lunch will be provided.

    Who is a community care worker?

    Someone who spends time doing work (for pay or not) that supports the people in our community who need it most. This includes but is not limited to:
    - #MutualAid / food delivery / #cooking & shopping for folks / #farming & #FoodSovereignty
    - #StreetMedicine
    - #Doula / #DeathDoula / #GriefWorker
    - #Policy / #advocacy work / #LegalSupport
    #CommunityDefense / #documenting law enforcement
    - #SocialWork / #CaseManagement
    - Community based health care
    - #Elders / #KnowledgeHolders / #storytellers "

    This event is for Queer / BIPOC participants only!

    "Queer events are designed as an affinity spaces for queer and trans people of all racial identities. If you think you might be queer or trans, you are queer enough. While we love our allies and advocates, if you’re not queer, don’t come to these events.

  2. @davoyager I agree those are both problems, but the fundamental flaw, IMHO, is the #truebelievers and their #storytellers that spin lies with only a modicum of truth but convincingly enough to make it sound unambiguous/#blackandwhite. The storytellers stoke fear leading to hate in targeted groups: the basis for #fascism

    They can’t tolerate ambiguity or any notion that two opposing arguments can be valid so only believe the conspiracy theories… and there’s no arguing with them

  3. He Went to 11

    Rob Reiner, Actor Who Went on to Direct Classic Films, Dies at 78

    “People take a look at ‘Princess Bride,’ and exclaim, ‘God, this is such an odd conglomeration!’” Mr. Reiner told The New York Times shortly after the movie was released in 1987. “‘How could you balance all those things?’”

    “But it didn’t seem all that strange to me,” he went on, “because those are all parts of my personality. I’ve definitely got this satirical side to me, and this romantic side, and this more realistic way of looking at things.”

    I don’t know about you, but Reiner’s eclectic approach to storytelling was one of the things I loved about his work. That and the clever humor, the touching moments, and the personal stories. 

    My favorite quote from this statement, Close friends of Rob and Michele Reiner release statement on their lives and work, is a reminder that we all make an impact.

    “Each man’s life touches so many other lives, and when he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?” — from It’s a Wonderful Life

    Maybe we’ll watch The Princess Bride this weekend. Or Stand by Me. Or Spinal Tap. Or When Harry Met Sally. Or A Few Good Men. Or or or.
