It’s bad enough for awkward mixed Black 12 y/o Gloria: spit wads in her kinky curls & eye-rolls at her passion for science

But when Gloria’s bestie gets an older 8th grade BFF, she’s demoted to 3rd wheel. She faces betraying herself to win back her friend

@NaithanJones “It is not enough to share beliefs, we must share a grace that must be tested through fire.” Thank you. Mistakes are at the core of our learning. True friendships hold space for this learning and growth to occurs. I am grateful for this message today. ✨🙏🏽✨

This went viral so I wanted to share it here too..

Do people have depression or are they sad and apathetic because they can’t make ends meet?

Does a teenage girl who’s been violated repeatedly have borderline personality disorder or is this the modern day hysteria? *75% of borderline diagnosis are women*

Do children have a disorder or learning disability because they can’t sit still for 6 hours straight?

Does a mother partnered with an abusive husband have an anxiety disorder or is her body constantly on alert to try to keep her safe?

Are people with a history of abuse having mood swings (likely diagnosed as bipolar) or natural reactions like anger that stem from the past?

Do half of the children in foster care have disorders (like “reactive attachment”) or are they unable to trust or emotionally connect because adults have betrayed them?

We’re diagnosing coping mechanisms.

We’re suppressing valid symptoms.

We’re treating people as quickly as possible to get them back to work. Or, the same environment that made them sick.

May we wake up. May we educate and create collective healing, together.

If you feel this to be true in your body, please RETWEET for awareness 🙏

In 1902, this is 18-year-old Alice Roosevelt, accompanied by her long-haired Chihuahua, Leo. She also had a pet snake named Emily Spinach, whom she would wrap around one arm and take to parties. Unlike many women of her time, Alice was known for wearing pants, driving cars, smoking cigarettes, placing bets with bookies, dancing on rooftops, and partying all night. In just 15 months, she managed to attend 300 parties, 350 balls, and 407 dinners.

A friend of Alice's stepmother once remarked, "She's like a young wild animal that's been put into good clothes." Her stepmother went further, describing her as a "guttersnipe" who went "uncontrolled with every boy in town."

William Howard Taft banned her from the White House after Alice buried a voodoo doll (of Taft's wife) in the front yard. Woodrow Wilson also banned her after she told a very dirty joke (sadly, no record of the joke exists) about him in public.

Her father, Theodore Roosevelt, famously said, "I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both."

Alice once told President Lyndon B. Johnson that she specifically wore wide-brimmed hats around him so that he could not kiss her.

During an interview in 1974, Alice described herself as a "hedonist."

She died in 1980 at the age of 96.

Images of the Lahaina fire are heartbreaking. We are donating to those in need, and I hope many others who read this have or will donate as well.

Aia ko mākou naʻau me ʻoe.

[Dillon Ancheta @DillonAncheta]

-Officials said only 3% of Lāhainā has been searched.

Just 3% — and there are already 93 deaths

-Only 3 cadaver dogs have been aiding officials in the search, 12 more are coming

I tried, but simply couldn’t contain the emotions. At least 67 are now dead. 67.

I tried to uphold journalistic stoicism, but I’m only human.

To my fellow journalists who have ever covered trauma — allow yourself to feel. Love yourself. 🙏🏼🩵

@gollysue4truth @KathrynRiver @HotshotWake I’m so sorry for your elderly sister. Fountain Grove or Coffee Park? I hope she was as able to rebuild. 🙏🏽 We were in SR during the Tubbs fire as well. Now we are in Maui, devastated for our community once again.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

People say they’re being nice.

When they hide the truth because they don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. Or let them down.

This isn’t being nice: it’s self protection.

That’s not a bad thing, just call it as it is: a fear of someone being upset.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Emotional rock bottom has lessons. Breaking down hurts, and it's also the beginning of rebuilding. Take a deep breath and remember who you are.

You are the single irreplaceable element of your novel. You provide the life, meaning, and impact no one else can replicate. If story is a tree, you are the roots. https://t.co/KwD1k9iOix by @daniauthor
