In the fall of 2021, John Bigley was sitting on the floor of an apartment in downtown Denver. He held a cup of psilocybin mushroom tea, trying to calm his nerves.For more than 30 years, he’d kept the sexual abuse he experienced as a child a secret, buried in the back of his mind where the abusers couldn’t hurt him. That’s also where he relegated the grief about his father, who died when Bigley was just 13.He’d kicked an alcohol addiction and tried counseling, but nothing restored his sense of self. In an effort to save himself and his marriage, Bigley hired a life coach to help him prepare for a different kind of treatment.“I want to find the freedom to feel again,” Bigley, 42, recalled saying in that apartment as he sat in a circle with about 10 other people, plus four sober facilitators assigned to offer support.

With more celebrities than any other state, it might not be surprising to hear that Californians "cancel" more celebrities on social media as well, according to a new study.According to Merriam-Webster, cancel culture is defined as “the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure.” A recent study by OnlineCasinos.com found that Californians are the quickest to “cancel” a star out of anyone in the country. The Golden State also had the highest unfollow rate of canceled celebrities, the study found, with 59% of those surveyed saying that they would unfollow someone who had been canceled – the highest in the nation – with the main reason being for “inappropriate social media actions.” California had the highest weighted score for overall cancel culture, the study found, with a score of 100.
