Highlighting good work of a lot of churches is always a trick bag because the bad churches have the megaphones, but the good work is happening in the background. And it is supposed to be that way. It’s supposed to be quiet.

The moment you start doing a press run for good deeds, it gets shaky.

"turn your hobby into your job, so you'll enjoy work" is the just utter BS, in my experience having your wellbeing dependent on your hobby will make you resent it and ruin it for you

Stop talking about Native Americans, and start talking to us, then spreading our work around.

A guide for not being annoying online:

1. If something is clearly a joke, don't leave an angry reply

2. If you're not sure whether something is a joke, don't leave an angry reply

3. If you don't have the ability to identify jokes, don't leave an angry reply

Hope this helps!

Forgiving myself for having bad mental health by reminding myself that I am very forgiving to others when they tell me they're having a hard time

If I have years of patience for others, I can have a couple days of patience for myself amen

Dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and dyspraxia are the most ignored disorders when it comes to activism.

Because typos are funny, being bad at maths is mocked, messy handwriting is lazy, and being clumsy is on purpose.

Can we focus more on how victims of sexual violence continue to be failed today and less on the drama of the Royal Family? Then perhaps some good might come from this?

can i just say that it's pretty easy to boycott anything entertainment-related. you don't *need* to watch the new Scream. you just really want to. fair enough! but you can also watch something else instead!

not playing by their rule book and timetable makes the world so much more enjoyable.

don't feel bad about not starting a thing you're really interested in! you'll get to it eventually. just focus on what you're doing in the moment. 😌

(having trouble starting new things is a very ADHD problem, so i've learned)

Christian nationalism has NOTHING to do with the Bible and the teachings of Jesus. It's racism, bigotry, and misogyny wrapped in a very thin veneer of religiosity to give it some moral authority.

at the vet, there was a newly neutered 7 month old german shepherd making all the noises in the treatment area.

my vet: "there's a little girl who got spayed back there, too, but she's not so dramatic. it's always the boys."

there are times when you need to recognize that your own bad brain demons are making you want to be combative with people and you just need to shut the fuck up

it is, as a person with depression, an important life skill!

When we talk about autism, we need to talk about race and gender, too. Black autistic women are often unseen masked out of recognition. Let’s make visibility gentle, not forced 👌🏽

Looove hearing people be passionate about things. Doesn't even have to be topics, interests, or careers I have any interest in, just love hearing people rattle off on stuff they're passionate about, I find it super interesting and endearing!
