talk to yourself out loud — using i, you, and we.

do what you say you’re going to do, especially small things.

encourage yourself out loud AS you’re doing things, especially hard things.

smile at yourself when you pass mirrors in your home.

learn any new things. acquiring knowledge helps a LOT.

What is some practical advice for improving self-esteem as an adult, esp ages 30+?

(I don't think we talk about this enough because we're too busy criticizing those who haven't figured it out, so I'd like to get the convo going.)

Correct people whenever your name is misspelled or mispronounced. When you let them slide one time, they’ll do it every time.

I’m nannying for a single mother today and I’m here at her parents home with them and the baby, and her mother informed me that the father passed away from cancer, 2 months before his child was born. Literally holding in my tears.

They Cloned Tyrone was a cinematic masterpiece and it is in the same realm as Sinners.

the message behind it is incredibly brilliant as it relates to the Black community but widely misunderstood.

From Oaxaca, one of the Mexican cities with the highest percentage of Afro-Mexicans. Their ancestors were brought as slaves by the Spaniards during the colonial period, and they later integrated with Mexican society.

This administration is totally fine with more Americans getting cancer from water contaminants if it means corporations and their wealthy friends might keep a penny or two more. Insane.

when the people who shuttered USAID learn of a diabetic single mother and her disabled son starving to death 9,000 miles away because of aid cuts, they don't see failure or dereliction or tragedy, but rather success: the people they view as unworthy of life are dying

She has no real way of explaining the danger of their situation to her son, who is 17 years old but cognitively closer to a toddler. And as a single mother too weak to forage, she has no real way of ensuring their survival. She also is too old to benefit from a recent policy change the Thai government made in a bid to prevent mass starvation, granting work rights to some of the 107,000 Myanmar refugees who, like her, live in Thailand’s border camps.

Her son never learned to speak, and needs her help with everything from getting dressed to using the toilet. Since the funding cuts, their survival has hinged on the charity of her Christian church, whose members occasionally give her handfuls of their rice.

She suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure, and begins to sweat and grow dizzy when her hunger is at its fiercest. Some days, she eats nothing.
