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.

My son found Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso’s Tiny Desk set on Spotify and then we cruised around while jammin’ to it together. Little pockets of joy really do exist in the midst of chaos.

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.
