Gentle reminder to myself:

This is a marathon,not a sprint.

Reserving resources,including emotional ENERGY,for strategic resistance & for tending to individual AND collective nourishment is key.

Nurture authentic connections & engage in coregulation as often as possible.

We get through together.

I’m thankful to have a big cat on my lap and I’m angry & nervous today, too.

That so many selected a 🍇ist & r-cist AGAIN is troubling on a level I don’t have the words for right now. Thankful for friends, family+community. Nothing pithy to add, just holding the grief+gratitude together.

Good morning. Reminding myself that things can feel truly awful (certain events happening Monday) and alongside that I can still fiercely love and be in community.

Enjoying a day off and the house all to myself. I think my audhd brain is doing a system reset today.

What I’m reading today:
