Feeling things today. This sums up a lot of it.

Even on the messy, un-showered, “meh” days, you are still wonderful. Just saying, in case you forgot.

A little self-care reminder. How many things have you done today? I'm at.... zero. Kinda been a bit of a bleh day but I'm working on turning it around!

A colorful, bright image of a clipboard, with a list of #selfcare activities to do today such as #drinkwater, take a walk, practice kindness, and make time to do what you love.

I would add to this: Read a book that you loved a decade ago. Play a video game that has a fantastical world and lore to get lost in. Binge watch the anime or cartoon that your teenage self was obsessed with. Create art. Find those pockets of safety and sunshine and revisit them.

Shay Stewart-Bouley @blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social · Jan 18

My advice is to folks who are feeling deep stress over the political climate. If possible, unplug. Go outside.

Physically, go outside and spend some time there, be present with the external world. If possible, connect with people you care about. Be present in the current moment.

A little encouragement for anyone who's struggling with #depression or #anxiety. Give yourself a little pep talk and celebrate the little wins.

How many trans people does it take to change a lightbulb?

One. But they will need confirmation from three professionals that the room is in fact dark.
