We live, think, & feel the experiences of late-stage capitalism & white supremacy. It’s pervasive & shapes our psychological and emotional worlds. Integrity of our unlearning doesn’t mean purity. It means staying aligned with what we’re for to the best of our abilities, even amidst contradiction.

Yes, therapy can be a helpful space to explore experiences AND therapy isn’t the golden standard for processing experiences. There are many other valuable environments and forms in which processing and exploring can occur.

High Functioning and Low Functioning labels were created through an ableist & capitalistic lens that places value and worth on a person's ability to conform to normative values & be productive within a performance oriented society. These labels don't allow for the complexities of lived experiences.

People are going to show up imperfect. To be in community we must learn how to engage in generative conflict & explore accountability as needed. Conflict is unavoidable & is not to be automatically feared. Repair can facilitate growth. We can’t engage in liberatory work & be avoidant of conflict.

The trauma informed framework can fail to explicitly name institutionalized or systemic trauma. When it's not addressed, individuals can be blamed for behavior that is a natural response to a distressing situation.

A hard truth is that therapists are an extension of the policing system & it’s a therapist’s duty to challenge the ways it’s imbedded within the mental health industrial complex. It’s imperative that therapists use additional ways to engage in crisis care without automatically involving the police.

Dream & create alternative ways things could be. There is no step by step guide & there is a role for everyone. We are the revolution. Painting, humor, archiving, writing, care, music, media, consciously consuming, herbalism, reading, sewing, etc. Find what you already do or want to learn & engage.

The individualism in western society is one of our biggest challenges and it’s by design with roots in capitalism and colonialism. We must learn and practice how to be in relation with each other. We need less disposability of people and more repair. Liberation skills are relational skills.

A reminder that our struggles are not just personal, but are deeply connected to the systems of power and oppression that shape our world. Our mental health is not separate from the fight for equity. In fact, it's at the very intersection of these movements.

Today my 8 yr. old son drew a picture depicting Marsha P. Johnson, LGBTQIA+ rights, & the Stonewall Riots. He’s a rad kid but I’m hella biased. Alt text describing the drawing is included. #art #drawing

Stonewall is on the left side of the paper from perspective of a side view. In Stonewall are chairs and a bar with Marsha P. Johnson standing outside talking to a police officer. She is saying “Stop it! It’s okay if they’re gay.” The police responds, “No it’s not.” Another police officer is speaking rudely to a person saying “You’re gay. I’m not gunna give you the license!” The person the police officer is talking to is standing there wearing a shirt that says “We’re human.” Then a police officer on the right is running saying, “Come here!”

First online purchase made since canceling my Amazon Prime subscription was a breeze. I just went to the company’s website & purchased the item. The website offered a 15% off coupon AND it’s going to arrive 2 days before it would have arrived if it was purchased through Prime. A breeze I tell ya!

Abolition can start at home. By teaching kids to co-create rather than comply, we teach critical thinking & mutual respect while challenging trad. power dynamics & hierarchies-skills that transcend into community to dismantle oppressive systems & build alternatives rooted in collaboration & equity.

i can’t fix anything that’s going on right now, but i can show you some beauty that’s out there… 🌌✨

Many stars crowd the image, shining in shades of white, blue, and orange, and more closely concentrated at the center.

Bright blue stars are in a cluster at the center of the image. They are surrounded by a shell of brownish and burnt orange dust and gas. The shell has ridges that reach towards the stars like teeth. Stars within the dust and gas are hidden from Hubble but visible to Webb in the infrared. A number of more distant galaxies also appear in the background.

Ferocious stellar winds, likely from the bright blue star at the top of the image, are blowing through a curtain of dust. The fine dust scatters the starlight at blue wavelengths. Farther down, another bright, super-hot star shines through filaments of obscuring dust, looking like the Sun shining through scattered clouds. A diagonal string of fainter accompanying stars looks reddish because dust is filtering starlight, allowing more of the red light to get through. The bottom of the picture presents a keyhole peek deep into the dark nebula. Hubble captures the reddish glow of ionized hydrogen. It looks like a fireworks finale, with several overlapping events.

Fluffy tan-colored nebula clouds, with rust-colored highlights, surround a black central area. Within that area, the focal point of the image is one large yellow star with eight long thin points. To the right of this star is a bright star cluster in an oval shape. The stars within the cluster look like tiny pale blue sparkles. The cluster is more densely packed at its core and scatters outward. Towards the bottom of the image, multiple arms appear to spiral out of a cloudy tan knob. Taken together, the structures resemble a spider or a squid. Other blue and yellow eight-pointed stars, as well as distant galaxies, are dotted throughout the image.
