Bio

Humans are social and communal beings. We exist to give and receive care.

You are more lovable than you think.

A better world is possible for everyone.

Quotes from Lyla June, from the YouTube video - Lyla June Speaks on the Topic of Non-Violence:

Context is talking about forgiving someone who did awful things:

"And in that moment, I would feel a weight lift from my shoulders, from my mind, and from my heart, and from my entire being. And this is the feeling of hatred leaving the body, and it was this feeling that set me free and also restored me to my true nature - which is the nature of peace and compassion."

"Forgiving does not mean that what someone did to you was okay. If
anything, it means what they did to you was really not okay or else you
wouldn't need to forgive them. What you're saying is, 'Even though you
wish the worst for me, I wish the best for you.'

"It is those people who have travelled farthest from their nature of peace and compassion that need our prayers the most. I don't have tea with these people. I don't invite them over for dinner. I don't see them in person because they're liable to still hurt me. However, from a safe distance, I do still pray for them and I hold compassion for them."

"We should never place ourselves in the line of fire unnecessarily."

Request to add "Spam/ Advertising" as reason when reporting post

...See more There are many unwanted spammy advertising posts on 7cups that I find need reporting so they get deleted promptly. These posts are obvious and usually very easy to distinguish from other posts as they usually include attention grabbing messages and urls in the title. Or, in some cases, they're just a jumble of incoherent words, letters, and numbers. When you click the flag button to report such a post, it requires that we give a reason. So far there is only "Graphic, Racist, or Sexual Content" and "Other" as options. I would like to see "Spam/ Advertising" or something along those lines added as one of the reasons for reporting. This should hopefully help with categorizing reports for users and help internally when reviewing said reports.
Sophia Therapy Request Bot conversation doesn't delete, eternal message notification

...See more I accidentally clicked the "Considering Therapy" button and I cannot get the Sophia Therapy Request Bot conversation out of my conversation list. Every time I click the (x) to delete the conversation, it's there again when I come back to My Path. Also, now it's giving me an eternal message notification that I have a new message in my conversation with her, and I can't get the overlay on the bottom of the screen or the notification on the top right to leave, no matter how many times I visit the conversation. If I respond to her, to get rid of the notification, she'll automatically respond right back, because she's a bot. So this message notification won't leave. It's getting very frustrating. It also irks me a bit to have the message of needing therapy be consistently thrust into my face. How can I stop it?
Can Noni Bot Give Members The Self Care Option Of Taking Better Care Of Themselves That Listeners Have?

...See more On my listener account, I've noticed Noni bot has an extra option that I think would be helpful to members too; Self Care: "How can I take better care of myself?" Self care is something I struggle with a lot and try to get support for as a member. Could this option be included for members to use as well? I've used it on my listener account. Noni asks you have helps fill your emotional gas tank and remembers what you tell her, so she can remind you to do those things when you're struggling. I think that would be fantastic for members too. This way, members wouldn't have to log in to their listener accounts so they can be reminded of what helps them cope and care for themselves. I hope this feature can be added for Noni bot's options for members.
Self Care Discussion never happened

...See more There was an event scheduled in the Community Calendar; Self Card Discussion - Fri Nov 17th 11:00am - 11:30am in the Compassion Corner room, led by @katiaclaire " @katiaclaire will be leading a discussion in the compassion corner on self care, feel free to join in and contribute!" It's supposed to be happening right now and I'm in the Compassion Corner room and it's not happening. There was no indication it was cancelled on the Community Calendar. I'm quite disappointed, as I stayed up for this. Self care is something I really struggle with and could use insight on. I tried searching for the user who was supposed to lead the discussion on 7cups search but the search didn't return anything. Any reason why this discussion didn't happen?
Can we have a search function that brings up all our past posts done by ourselves?

...See more Can we have a search function that brings up all our past posts done by ourselves? It could go under your user image pull down menu in the top right (such as "My Posts"), or even as a search function of the page "My Forum Threads" you are directed to when clicked on within the same pull down menu. It could bring up all the past posts you've made in different threads. It's helpful in case there's something else you wanted to address within the same thread, without having to sift through the search history of your browser to find the threads you've posted in.
Can we get a dark mode for 7cups?

...See more Can we get a dark mode for 7cups? YouTube recently implemented a dark mode for their website with their recent UI update. You can also find browser add-ons that allow some websites to have a dark mode, as well. I find it easier on the eyes and it saves a small amount of wattage, compared to loading a white page. Dark mode YouTube looks like this with an add-on (since I haven't upgraded to the new version), as an example: I hope this change can be implemented. Thank you for your consideration. :)
