When we tell someone to “just choose happiness and stay positive” we are ignoring their pain.

Ignoring pain doesn’t reduce pain, it creates a space for pain to exacerbate, and shame to grow.

Let’s make space for healing by just being w/ someone in their darkest moment.

Emotional self care is important and it’s less talked about because it doesn’t always feel good and it isn’t always easy.

Why you need emotional self care:

Stop gaslighting yourself into the narrative you’re lazy when you’re actually exhausted AF from:

•faking well
•ReParenting your inner child
•trying to fit into an ableist society
•doing trauma-healing work
•just surviving dark times
•having to live w/ chronic pain

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.

Oddly enough the provinces that are bitching and moaning and struggling the most are all ran by Conservative governments. Weird.

I wanted my baby. My husband and I have tried for years. I got pregnant in august 2021 and then miscarried. My body doesn’t naturally expel so I needed a D&C. I was denied one because my doctor was worried about the laws here in Texas. I waited for 2 WEEKS carrying my loss while

BREAKING: Ontario loses the 2022 provincial election

[Teachers Unite @Teachers__Unite]

Doug Ford ran the largest deficit in Ontario history and isn't projected to have a balanced budget any time soon. His government can't account for a missing $4 billion. Can we finally do away with the myth that conservatives are excellent money managers?

@CityNewsTO Imagine that

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

If you think Friday the 13th is scary, just think of how scary it will be if the Conservatives are re-elected in Ontario. They seriously underfunded health care & education during COVID...and even now, plan to spend over $10 billion on new highways.

Seriously...isn't this scary?

[Lindsay Stamp @lindsaystamp05]

Doug Ford in majority territory? Seriously?
After LTC death camps, #COVID19 catastrophe, selling the Green Belt to developers, autism waitlists, firing nurses, starving ODSP & OW, opening hc to US profiteers, gutting #Toronto Council, selling ON water to Nestle & so much more? 😳

Excellent map in @globeandmail showing driving times to abortion services in Canada. That big gap in Ontario is striking.

Dear Canadians: Don’t for one second think that what’s happening in the United States with #RoeVWade can’t happen here. Be vigilant. Take nothing for granted. Vote like our basic human rights depend on it…Because they do.

My #abortion was life saving surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. According to conservatives I should have died at 21 years old with a clump of cells. #abortionrights #AbortionIsHealthcare

1 Don’t ask when someone is having a baby
2Don’t ask when someone is having “another”
3Not everyone ends up with a baby and if you are struggling it is ok to stop. Stopping is hard, but sometimes it’s the kindest thing to do for yourself and she has to matter the most.
