I think it’s really important that we think through our Fandoms, and I currently can’t get behind the dogwhistling, microaggressions, and mean girl energy TS brought to this album. Yes, I have been talking about her in some of my videos because I will use anything to talk about mental health.

Why is it all the healthy women are scared to wear allegiance to themselves as if it’s some type of bad thing?

And I have even more thoughts…Ophelia and TS …

Trauma recovery is about showing up for ourselves-- maybe imperfectly, maybe late, maybe scared, maybe sad, but showing up for our "parts" & our inner child in ways we needed someone to show up for us back then.

Men often ask me, 'Why are your female characters so paranoid?' It’s not paranoia. It’s recognition of their situation.

What is happening in the United States shows that divided we fail.

Therefore, let the broken governance system controlled by the rich fail as it always has and let “we the people”—the commoners & nonwealthy—truly begin a new era and create a true democracy of rule together by the people.

I went to a local tea shop and bought fresh food made onsite and tea for my kid and I.

Then we went home; my kid invited a friend over. I ordered dinner for us all from a small, local place and had it delivered—and tipped the local driver very well.

My money went local on purpose today.

Are you willing to be wrong and correct it? If you are, you can handle life. If not, you likely need counseling and probably are the problem in your relationships.

Everything you’ve ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear. -George Addair

How do we stand up to our fear in times like these in order to set all of us free?

I called R-MO Rep Bob Onder’s office the other day to let him know how much I disapprove of my information being stolen by Elon Musk. I wanted to know what he’s going to do to represent me and protect me as a constituent. Today he sent me the following survey, and I groan at the wording. Let’s reply

Langston Hughes was a leader of the Harlem Renaissance-a poet, essayist, playwright & activist who gave voice to Black Americans.

Kendrick Lamar is a poet, rapper, & earned the Pulitzer Prize for music.

This image of their work speaks of racial injustice & is thought-provoking.
