National Coming Out Day.
When I go out, I wear my Progress Pride button — a small act of resistance against a country that keeps trying to erase us.
I refuse to be invisible.
🏳️🌈 I’m here. I’m visible. And I’m not going anywhere.

I find myself defining myself too often in ways that aren’t in line with how I would like to live! What must we do to live in more alignment with our values?
Suggestions?

BIG WIN: Voters in Wisconsin have elected Susan Crawford to the state Supreme Court, securing a pro-equality majority on the court.
Not only does this win help protect LGBTQ+, reproductive, & voting rights in WI, it also sends a clear message: We won’t let Elon Musk buy our courts.

Even after Awakening, the dishes still need washing, the laundry needs doing, and the cat still needs to be fed.
Liberation is not an escape from life. Liberation is meeting each moment fully, with clarity and ease.
