‘Moral injury’ happens when you watch injustice unfold in real time, knowing what could be done....and seeing those with power choose not to do it.

Your distress isn’t dysfunction, it’s clarity.

An excerpt from our piece “and still, you carried on.” You wake up to a world that rewards violence more than conscience. You eat your eggs as a baby starves to death. You drop ice into your water and think of your missing neighbors.... for whom ice means something else entirely. You go to work You read attachment files as you watch democracy fade, headlines vanish, evidence disappear... and you think how easy it could be to delete files when you're the one in power.. Your heart breaks...and still, you clock in for another day

Text from a poem we wrote about the current events. “You wake up to a world that rewards violence more than conscience. You eat your eggs as a baby starves to death.

Isolation isn't imaginary, it's engineered.

If you've ever felt invisible, excluded, or like you didn't belong you're not alone.

You're not "too much." You are navigating systems that gave you too little.

Read this if:

You feel disconnected, invisible, or chronically misunderstood.

If you’re longing for something different.

Longing to exhale in relief and finally say: “I belong here.”

Working on Saturday’s piece about isolation and the importance of neurodivergent communities.

“Isolation isn’t just loneliness - it’s a symptom of systemic harm. “

Forced isolation wasn't an accident. It was policy. For disabled and neurodivergent people, being cut off from community has never been just a personal misfortune. It's been systemic, deliberate, and deeply rooted in historical practices of segregation, institutionalization, and erasure. Neurodivergent people today still face the consequences of systems built to isolate and those systems didn't disappear. They evolved.

Institutionalized. Ignored by doctors. Pressured to mask.
This isn’t a coincidence, it’s a pattern. And it takes a toll on mental and physical health.

You’re not “too much.” You are navigating systems that gave you too little.
