What I heard was: I saw my mother do it all with no support from my father, her family, his family or community so I refuse to support my partner in a meaningful way because you’re not better than my mom so you don’t deserve ease & if you have a support system I will shame you & try to isolate you.

It’s grief awareness week. Take moments out to sit with the sacredness of grief. It exists because love exists. Good morning

My reminder that NOTHING breeds violence, like poverty.

Huge corporations playing with the lives of everyday people will come to a head, and we live in an armed country.

It’s about to get REEEEEAAAAAL French around here and I get it. I’m not even mad at it.
