Love yourself.
Spread your wings as far as you can reach them.
Be mindful of the shadows they cast,
But don’t let them stop you from flying.

@loveyourboka She’s a 10 but lives in Canada so she can’t use Boka 🙃

wondering why no one listens to her flower tongue

meaning, why no one takes her seriously.”

Hey! If you don't have one already, go get a library card for where you live! It'll support the funding for your local library and it's free and quick and libraries have so much free stuff, not just books!

Not recognizing or valuing oral history is a form of racism called epistemic racism—where certain forms of knowledge are considered superior to others.

Intelligence is when you learn from a book, being wise is learning from life.

(My nephew asked what “wise” meant)

[abbi longmire @abbilongmire]

It’s necessary to grow. It’s okay to say “I didn’t think of it that way, I’ll learn from this” or “I didn’t know that, I won’t do that anymore”.

If you read this whole thing, thank you. Let’s learn together. It isn’t cancel culture, it’s change culture. And we are the change.

I saw a comment where someone said they were uncomfortable with the term Aspergers bc of its terrible history. Someone else responded saying that lots of things have terrible histories and we “shouldn’t let it impact us” and that “acknowledging it is enough”.

No. Here’s why:

[abbi longmire @abbilongmire]

Let’s make a better future. That can’t happen if we don’t accept, learn from, & make changes from the past.

Let go of the idea that admitting fault/apologies are bad & followed by punishment. Let go of shame and replace it with humility. Accept that we are all just learning.
