“We have so much of that (trauma) here — just start with racism and go on. It is repressed and treated with denial. That doesn’t make it go away. It’s controlling how people respond to new trauma, whether it’s a diagnosis or a pandemic or a January 6th.” https://t.co/NVuUyskEEk

“The 2019 Yale University study, called “The Misperception of Racial Economic Inequality,” found that Americans believe that black households hold $90 in wealth for every $100 held by white households. The actual amount is $10.” https://t.co/K5Ef8TwbMm

It’s more than crafted statements about equality. “We have to challenge ourselves. We have to consider ideas that seemed impossible. We have to take risks + make ourselves uncomfortable...to continue talking about the ways racism influences our lives.” https://t.co/P01bjMDtIA

“If baking bread and getting a six pack moves you, or brings you comfort, go ahead and do it,” she said. “And if you can figure out how to do both — DM me.” - Brené Brown https://t.co/PVqWRHGtr8

“A lot of us already felt like we were half-assing it with work and half-assing it with the kids — now we’re like quarter-assing it.” she added. “We need empathy around that rather than perfectionism.” - Brené Brown https://t.co/PVqWRHGtr8

“Coronavirus grief is a vast, monstrous grief, its reach and breadth expanding daily. It’s also a collective grief, a worldwide loss that — physically isolated though many of us have to be — a lot of other people are, in one way or another, also mourning.” https://t.co/VoCjGvHPpQ

[jamie cavanaugh @jamiecavanaugh]

“Grief can’t be fixed, but it can be acknowledged and that is the best medicine...With our own grief we should take time to check in with ourselves, to slow down to name our pain. Not to fix it, since it likely can’t be fixed, but to notice it.” NY Times https://t.co/VoCjGvHPpQ

“Epidemics of unspoken grief: Everybody’s got pain they’re carrying around, but they never get to say it. It doesn’t go away if you don’t get to say it. It comes out in epidemics of suicidality and depression, social isolation, loneliness.” The NY Times https://t.co/VoCjGvHPpQ

“This urge to overachieve, even in times of global crisis, is reflective of America’s always-on work culture — the idea that every nanosecond of our lives must be commodified and pointed toward profit and self-improvement.”

“Doubling down on love demands that we be brave enough to straddle the tension of staying awake to the struggle in the world and fighting for justice and peace, while also cultivating a love ethic in our own lives.” https://t.co/kaeWwlOq0D

“Erich Fromm writes, ‘There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as ‘moral indignation,’ which permits envy or hate to be acted out under the guise of virtue.’”

“Work has become an obsession, long hours and endless striving has caused burnout, unhappiness and gender inequity. But younger workers are pushing back. More of them expect and demand flexibility, ability to work remotely, come in late or leave early.” https://t.co/Ye2xNjo4NF

“I’ve seen an increase of people in tech feeling more hopeless. They say, ‘I don’t know if my job is helping anybody.’ People who want to change the world and have good energy around it — I’m seeing a lot of them saying: ‘I don’t know. Does it matter?’” https://t.co/TZ0m0HgQo2

“It’s one thing to be grinding for a big tech company that you believe in, but once you start questioning that company’s motivations, that can make the eight hours a day that you work not feel as fulfilling.” https://t.co/TZ0m0HgQo2
