Marsha Linehan passed away yesterday at the ripe old age of 83.
After defeating suicide.
After defeating BPD.
After building a movement, battling despair and claiming hope for people with Borderline Personality Disorder.
Her work has changed more lives than I can count. It helped change mine. I know many, many people who are alive today and credit it to their work under her model.
She was made for a mission. And she fulfilled it.
May you rest in peace, Marsha Linehan, may there be treasures in heaven for you, and may we continue to carry on the torch. 🔥
@carynannharlos Healthcare should at the very LEAST be a human right because EVERYONE NEEDS basic care…and everyone deserves to be treated with DIGNITY and decency…and at the very least, RESPECT.
I am extremely thankful to everyone who has helped my family. My pain is pretty high so it's a difficult time. If anyone could help with our most dire needs we would be incredibly grateful
100 phone
200 food
200 for pain treatment 🫣😬
Thank you for your help and kindness 🙏🏻
@story__horse I would say make sure the apology was sincere. Make sure it was truly for them. Keep it about them. Keep it short, take accountability for what you did. And hope that time can heal. And that’s really all you can do. 🫂💜🫶🏻
Disabled family of 3, each severely disabled in our own ways, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, AuDHD, Epilepsy... We each have daily struggles and fight for growth and survival.
Thank you 🙏🏻💕

That's a white feminist analysis.
The Kardashians were NEVER financially free of men, and the men in their lives were central to their strategy for acquiring fame and wealth.
Their initial wealth came from a multimillion-dollar inheritance from their father, a famous attorney. The Kardashians pandered to the Black male gaze with their numerous plastic surgeries, as a family of white women who paid to have Black women’s features.
The Black men they've dated have admitted to advising them on how to imitate Black culture. It's not a feminist utopia if their successful empire under capitalism was built on theft from Black women designers (just Google the lawsuits against them).
Their proximity to, and romantic relationships with, famous Black men paved the way on their highway of cultural vulturism. They're wrongfully credited as innovators of styles and trends invented by Black people.
This isn't matriarchy, but white supremacy.
@lydia_Caitlin_ You never owe anyone an apology for having emotions and for being human Lydia. We ALL have our bad days. The people who are truly there for you will still be there regardless. We will be here to support you. 🫂 Take care of yourself!
Disabled people have been begging non-disabled people to do this type of introspection for years: admitting to the biases and discomfort you have around us.
It doesn't make you a bad person, but not working to challenge your ableism does. Chrisean Jr. has exposed how cruel society is towards disabled kids.
