@AdrianCJax That part! I'm here visiting for a week and was woefully unprepared for this Houston heat!

@ShanaeRebecca that their love continues to hold me and bring me strength. 💕

We have become so comfortable with poverty, with Black folks in distress; that when a Black person says I have no water or food- no one thinks- “lets get him some water and food.” No, instead someone thinks- lets put him in a chokehold.

Celebrate everything!

[Dr. Justin Zimmerman @JZPhilosophy]

Hi future grad student. As I make my way out, I have a little bit of advice. Celebrate EVERYTHING. Celebrate being admitted. Celebrate coming up with a research question. Celebrate just being alive. Damn what the more stuck up folks of academia have to say.

[Mahader Tamene (she/her) @MahaderTamene]

if we’re not pausing before reacting, if we are not reflecting on the why behind the trigger, we can easily fall prey to an ego that seeks to blame before it looks to heal.

[Joél Leon. @JoelakaMaG]

slow down, friends. the magic is right here, waiting for us all to look up and take notice.

the heartbreak you feel—the grief, the loss, the hurt, disappointment, rejection—is bringing you to the precipice of your breakthrough.

stay the course.

Today we introduced a constitutional amendment to restore voting rights to people who are incarcerated in
California State Prisons.

It’s the right thing to do.

same page, same page (minus the cat)

[The Nap Ministry @TheNapMinistry]

Really thinking about retiring. I’m over daily engagement with work, emails, etc. Want to sit on porch with my cat, go to museums, brunch with friends and nap.

I’ve done enough.

[Joél Leon. @JoelakaMaG]

celebrate yourself more often, beloved—you’ve earned this.

[Mahader Tamene (she/her) @MahaderTamene]

To working through pain; to healing
To loving strong and laughing harder
To community
To letting go; accepting imperfection.
To constant reflection and awareness;
To loving self. To nurturing self. To trusting self.
To living in purpose. To living on purpose

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”
