one thing i have no shame about is texting back fast, texting back slow, double or triple texting. i also don’t care if others do the same to me. there is no judgment here. i am not checking the time you texted me or looking into it as a sign. you’re free with me lol

i wrote about the ability to survive neglect, and how surviving is not the same as being alive.

get the bag, sure.

but more importantly, get some joy. get some sun. get some laughter. get some love. get some peace. get some romance. get some rest. get some community. get some inspiration. get some air. get some peace.

be with the things that really matter.

At times uncomfortable - but I like to describe it as a good discomfort, one that's important to experience and to see what is a very real experience for many black queer folks.

An absolutely brilliant, beautiful, and hilarious show 💜

I’ve played so many JRPGs that if I walked into this room I’d fight the pope

I just want you all to have good food, peace, laughter, a decent home, great healthcare, time to do what makes you happy and joyful and great relationships with people from around the world. I want this for ALL of you around the world.

I knew suicide rates for Black youth have been rising, especially since the pandemic began. But this lecture by Dr. Benton highlighted many other facts I wasn’t aware of. Gonna share some for folks who are interested.

in general, I feel like psych and social work training in the U.S. feel so unbelievably outdated

disability justice and trauma-informed work still get treated like niche interests or add-ons when they should be integral to the foundation of the field

2021 made me realize that I actually want to enjoy my life and spend it with the people I love instead of being the frazzled career-obsessed DC girlboss workaholic I'd pictured myself becoming since college

This song is for every artist or creative who has wondered if they should keep going....yes you should because you have a unique story and vision only you can bring to the world. This movie musical is necessary

@MrBurnItDowN29 @FredHamptonLeft Black ppl can't do anything without someone telling us its the wrong way, or to do more or do better, or its not enough, or its not giving immediate results, or we should just sit down & shut up, or we're not allowed to get angry & respond when we're insulted or-

Its exhausting.

[Denisha @DenishaGHedge]

Its ok if all you did today was get out of bed and eat. You don't need to be "on" 24/7.

[Denisha @DenishaGHedge]

We don't talk enough about how real compassion fatigue & secondary trauma is.

[Denisha @DenishaGHedge]

Listen to your body. Its trying to tell you to slow down in the only way it can. It doesn't mean you don't care. It means breathe. Step back. Be kind to yourself.
