It’s valid af to be barely holding on right now. So many of us are feeling so depleted and hopeless.
Hold yourself with gentleness about what supports you through these times.
Reach out to someone. Simply showing each other we’re not alone in the pain and struggle can give life. #recovery

Sending love to all the people who menstruate and are having more intense #periodcramps, chills, grief, GI issues, or rage this month
I find that when there’s intense stress from the collective, our cycles tend to reflect that. This month was wild.
Be gentle 💙

We must do what is within each of our power to resist escalating fascism. Escalated fascism does not have to be an inevitability, but we must all resist its manifestations, even when we might want to feel like it hasn’t impacted us yet. It only happens if we allow it to. #collectiveliberation

Alcohol craving check-in for times of revolution:
When do you notice craving drinking? Is it when you feel overwhelmed? Lonely? Wanting community? Financially afraid? After talking with someone? Hopeless? Fearful?
Noticing cravings can help meet ourselves with gentleness #sober#recoveryispossible

Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance was painful to watch. Literally, as in it was inaccessible for photosensitive folks. The flashing lights, pyro, and unstable camera made that show visually inaccessible.
I LOVED it 🍉, and I’m sad I probably can’t rewatch 😭. #superbowl#kendricklamar#disability

We all have to identify what we can contribute to #movement. What are your talents? What do you enjoy?
Can you cook for your neighbors? Can you educate? Can you drive/have a car)? Are you good at listening to folks?

Reach out to and check in on that person you were thinking of. If you’ve been in your head, maybe check in on how someone else is doing with all this heaviness.
We need each other, now and always. We need to know we are thought of and loved #resist#communitycare#revolution#community#love#queer

Be gentle with yourself and others in this time. A lot of the collective is very activated and grieving, numb, in shock, anxious, and/or scared all at once.
It’s a lot to move through with so much threat. Meet yourself and others with gentleness. #decolonize#mentalhealth#capitalism#trump#selfcare

Thinking of all the folks who are drinking through this inauguration, who are struggling to feel like you can be here. You’re not alone. It makes so much sense. Meet yourself with gentleness. You are seen and held. We as a planet will resist. #trumpinauguration#sobercurious#dryjanuary#harmreduction

The resistance to martial law in South Korea is a lesson for Americans in how to do de-arrests. As fascism escalates here in the forms of policing and militarism, we need to know how to prevent them from succeeding #abolition

How have you been holding up since the election? Our struggles are often invisibilized, but we aren’t alone!

The election taught us we need to show folks more is possible than capitalism. Because if folks are hurting, they can be swayed to fashism#decolonize#capitalism#election2024
