we really screwed up by creating the expectation that the average human being has to read and check their email EVERY DAY

[your friend, Dracula @Remember_Sarah]

Why am I so tired all the time? Aside from the fact that it gets dark at 3 and I'm not exercising and I'm lonely and it's raining and I've forgotten how to groom myself like those mice in the experiment where they had plentiful food but utterly meaningless lives. Aside from THAT

If you're reading this...

May your coffee be the perfect temperature.

May your meetings be short and effective.

May your energy be high.

May your work be appreciated.

3) Go to therapy (if at all financially possible)

Hearing your best friend call your ex a “waste of human life” may feel great in the moment, but its not going to help you identify what went wrong, and make sure the same thing doesn’t happen in your next relationship.

1) It's OK to not be OK: I spent my late teens/early 20s dealing with depression, and reallllllly hate admitting I'm not OK. Wallowing on the couch feels like failure to me.

Rushing to get over something monumentally sad will not serve you well in the long run. Be sad, it's OK.

Not everything has to be some grandiose gesture. Do something small every day that makes the world a little better. It adds up.

Do not use derogatory terms, such as insane, crazy/crazed, nuts or deranged, unless they are part of a quotation that is essential to the story.
Avoid using mental health terms to describe unrelated issues. Don’t say that an awards show, for example, was schizophrenic.

We hold ourselves to these high standards like we have to continue every single thing that we start, but it’s okay if we don’t, and the sooner we tell other people, the better.

[Allison L. Jensen @allisonjensen_]

Being on a board & spending a few years watching people step down from various roles has taught me that if you think you’re going to step down, just go ahead & do it. I know that sounds kind of harsh, but I don’t mean it to.

[Allison L. Jensen @allisonjensen_]

It it’s what’s best for you, the board will understand. If you’re holding on because you feel like you have to, you may be holding other people back. This isn’t about any one person in particular, I’m just frustrated that it happens so often.

Not special education.
Accessible education.

Not special transportation.
Accessible transportation.

Not special employment.
Accessible & accommodating

Not special needs.
Human needs.

[R. Eric Thomas @oureric]

This feels unabashedly good. Tonight. There is work to do. There is much pushing to be done. But the relief, the acknowledgement of humanity, the pivot away from fear and hate in this moment has broken my heart wide open. Let this be the first day and let us move on from here.
