who are any of us anyways?

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

Trauma survivors in recovery don't need to be "saved"-- we need to be seen. We don't need to be "fixed"-- we need to be supported.

We don't want to be "coddled." We want to be empowered.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

I've been seeing a lot of people talk about how autistic people have justice sensitivity & though this is true-ish, I think it's important people realize that we are sensitive to what WE THINK is just, not that we have some magical ability to discern what is objectively just.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

Because ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorder (SPD), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) often overlap...

@FeralHeather Those people don’t care if you live or die so fuck them, as Taylor Tomlinson would say

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

Complex trauma survivors often feel paralyzed if we don't have an "escape hatch." If we feel we're trapped in a situation, we'll shut down-- but if we know we have a way out if we need it, we can often stick around another minute or two & keep trying.

@DrDoyleSays Well said! We’ve experienced this so many times, didn’t really know how to articulate it though so thank you for this:)

@spoonfulofhan I wish I had such firm clear boundaries with myself around others, I’m a recovering people pleaser >_<

[Willow @sprite701]

@sensorystories_ Thank you :)

I forgot I had this platform till now, I’ve enjoyed catching up with everyone

Last night's shooting & the appalling rise of anti-Asian violence stem frm a sick society where nationalism has again been stoked & normalized. Anti-Black & anti-Asian racism & violence run in tandem in the U.S. Both grps were brought here for labor but never meant to be citizens

No one should be profiteering off of our criminal justice system. That’s why today, I ordered the Department of Justice to end the use of private prisons by the federal government.

@ChelseaClinton @serenawilliams @The_Pigeon @JackieWoodson @Octonauts @sesamestreet Such a wonderful example for her daughter! Grace!

Today, I repealed the discriminatory ban on transgender people serving in the military. It’s simple: America is safer when everyone qualified to serve can do so openly and with pride.
