One of the most loving things you can do for yourself is to forgive yourself for mistakes you made when you were operating out of fear. Without those mistakes, you wouldn’t be on the path towards Love that you’re on now. View them as wise teachers and not shameful enemies.

Something that this thread doesn't mention is that though the Cordero siblings tried incessantly to get Celestina certified and paid, the white elites in government rejected her...Even though the quality of her pedagogy was such that many took their kids to study under her.

Idk who needs to hear this but just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean you can’t learn to swim, take dance classes, start gymnastics, learn a new language, etc. like I know it’s obvious but sometimes we need the reminder.

“So many ppl autistic now a days”

Yes…because y’all stopped lobotomizing us and sticking us in hospitals to die and euthanizing our autistic children around the late 1900s So yes you’re gonna see more autistic ppl showing up.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

In the black community, New Year’s Day used to be widely known as 'Hiring Day' or 'Heartbreak Day', because enslaved people spent New Year’s Eve waiting, wondering if their owners were going to rent them out to someone else, thus potentially splitting up their families...

There’s no marriage equality until disabled people are able to get married and keep their benefits.

A Black Trans women who was recently attacked is raising $600 by the 5th. She didn’t report the attack as she’s faced harassment from cops too but she did take time off work and is now struggling to pay rent this month. Ally support is urgent here.

The female placenta is predominantly made by the fathers genes. The fathers nutrition, smoking and lifestyle habits contribute to female infertility and miscarriages. The fathers health is equally important as the mothers health to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

Thinking about our ancestors that escaped North to freedom during the winter months. The bravery it requires to run when it’s cold, and when most cover from the leaves have died back. Simultaneously revealing a clear view forward, while making it easier to be a seen target.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

I find celebrities discussing their disabilities so validating; recently, Celine Dion and Christina Applegate have spoken about Stiff Person Syndrome and MS. Whilst every disability is unique, constructive conversations about any disability help to normalise disability generally.

If you hate writing in a journal, start a voice recording diary instead. Give yourself about 10 minutes to free from say your thoughts before you go to sleep in a voice memo & add it together each day to comprise a week.

[kuri @authorkurikuri]

it’s so funny to me when writers use the term “almond eyes” to mean “east asian” because like. i don’t know about other countries in asia but at least japan has a boatload of terms to describe eye shape. for example, here are some fairly common terms:

I got an Indigenous philosophy paper rejected because one of the readers claimed I was "assuming" that Indigenous people have knowledge when at best they had beliefs. Because all knowledge "has to be empirically ascertained." 1/2

Capricorn placements should be protected more. They've often had to be the provider and the responsible one for MOST of their lives. ♑️

They don't want to tell you this..but they're tired.

Sometimes, they need a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes, they want to be nurtured too. 🥺✨
