Unlearn and Relearn

[Victoria Alexander @victoria_phd_]

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:

This is one of those unprecedented times that is fun to watch.

[Nara (they/fae) @ShannonNara]

Nights in this quiet
Can feel like
Rejuvenating rest
Or like a
Pitiless prison

- the battle of living alone

[Nara (they/fae) @ShannonNara]

I do want to like this sentiment… really I do bc we all need rest & balance.

But this is also just such a white man thing to say. You absolutely should be taking accountability for mistakes & learning from them. Forgetting mistakes w/o any consequences is a gross privilege.

Instead of “till death do us part” how about “for as long as this feels healthy, safe, and meaningful for both of us”

Authenticity
is the currency
Society
won’t accept

Kindness
is the value
Individualism
won’t embrace

So fuck it
Be you
Be kind
Fuck everything else

The vibe is
Alleyway kisses
And Pinot on the patio

The swoon is
Home cooked meals
And backyard fire pits

You wanna break a generational curse? Give your kids the right to tell you when something you're doing is hurting them, without being defensive or dismissive.

the ADHD urge to turn a small task into an overly-ambitious project, only to get so overwhelmed/intimidated by the massive undertaking that you abandon it and never return

[Andrea Gibson @andreagibson]

Trauma was not being
able to get the hands
of the clock off of me.

Healing was learning
no one has ever laid a fingerprint
on the part of me that’s infinite.

@Declyned Damn, I was really hoping for Leesa mattresses

My toxic trait is thinking I should have a podcast.

The greatest part of the world is connecting w/ people who give you an opportunity to self-reflect & grow. Many years after my first experiences w/ poly relationships & after many years of internal work, I’m revisiting it from a healthier, kinder place. https://t.co/4pk5EQyHw4
