what i love abt these comics is their gentleness <3 <3

when i worked in defense contracting, i lost out on numerous opportunities bc i didn't feel safe going out w 'the boys'. it's a known thing.

dude says he's tired of being told he's the problem. he won't support anymore. he's part of the problem. good guys will force their kindness on femme people, expecting those of us non men to accept it - it's dubious at best. do better! #cornell7 #traumasurvivor

New bro code: "Protect women. Respect women. Believe women." The code is accountability, human decency, human kindness, respect. It has to be.

Today’s Canadian painting is “Mother and Child” painted by Norval Morrisseau in 2005. This is Truth and Rconciliation Day in Canada, a day to remember the harms done to Canada’s first peoples.

it's orange shirt day. i am properly decorated for remembrance. not every child made it home. some did, & the harms stretched out for generations. my abuelo went to the spanish schools & lost his language. i remember him today along w every other child. every child matters.

Your quality of life is important enough to not spend one more second than necessary tolerating a person or a situation that makes you feel like sh*t. No matter what that voice from your past is whispering in your ear— or screaming in your face— as you read this.

No doubt, managing your emotions can sound overwhelming & complicated. Remember that you don't have to perfectly understand or manage anything this second. Just start w/ refusing to beat yourself up for whatever you're feeling now. Reel in the judgment, just sit w/ the feeling.

As WCK teams in Nepal are able to reach more communities affected by the flooding, we’re expanding our efforts & distributing staples like fresh produce, eggs & rice. Restoring access to essentials people rely on empowers communities to cook for themselves & fuel their own recovery. #ChefsForNepal

The shame experienced by CPTSD survivors who were victimized as adults, whether or not they were also victimized as children, leads many to not seek support or acknowledge what happened. But you deserve exactly as much sympathy, support & grace as any other trauma survivor.

You are not a burden, you are enough. Friends help friends. “Friends would rather see you messy and alive than not here at all.” 💚

Love my friends, being released from the hospital made me all the more thankful for them. Being home is a relief, but also a lot. It's okay to not okay AND it's mentionable & manageable to say, "I feel like a burden."
Do you ever feel like a burden? Lean on these words by Jazz Thornton: "You are not a burden, because you belong. To you, the person who is reading this right now: you belong. You may have a burden, but you are not a burden."
Friends help friends. Victoriously messy and alive
