The Silver Selkey

if you think about billionaires as large three year olds who are mad because the cake they have wasn't the precise cake you had, which they wanted precisely, then you'll get it!

I made it about 7 weeks off all social media except instagram, and it DID dramatically improve my mental health. But I’m back momentarily to say it’s only Wednesday after Trump was inaugurated and I don’t think I can handle 4 more years of hearing about what he’s doing. RIP 🇺🇸🗽

As an experiment, I’m deleting my social media apps (but not my accounts) off my phone and trying not to use them for the month of December, to see if it improves my mental health. Wishing everyone an early Merry Christmas! 🎄

I think the USA needs to rethink the way the heads of our most important national agencies are chosen because it’s clearly dangerous and stupid to just let the current president pick whoever they want based on nothing but a personal whim.

Healing is reclaiming yourself
It’s picking up a hobby they made you give up
It’s wearing the clothes you used to love
It's pursuing the goals you had put on hold
It's reconnecting with friends they pushed away
It’s finding your voice again and refusing to silence it
Healing is finding you again.

I’m trying not to feel so grumbley on Thanksgiving but right now I’m failing.

Paternity Leave Skylar went back to work last week after two months of paternity leave, which he has called "maternity" leave despite, and I think, in spite of my constant corrections. This is a pattern in our marri...

My new quick story about what it feels like to be a new stay-at-home parent.

It is. Those tears heal. But it takes a lot of them to wash the pain away.

Oh Leah 🥺 🫂

Feels like it 😅

It was torture tonight, sitting uncomfortably in the room w/my grandmother-in-law as she told my husband with tears in her eyes how happy she is that he married me and turned his life around. Then thanked me for marrying him. I wanted to sink through the floor.

I don’t like the implications of this new information 😟

🤢

I’m sorry you’ll be alone.

Is your family too far away to be an option?

do you ever think about the fact that our sun might be a star in the sky to someone else way out there??

Not being aware of pain because a dissociative "part" of us is holding it isn't the same as not feeling it. Part of us ALWAYS feels it-- the question is, do we let that part hold that pain alone?

For my money, recovery means NOT abandoning or ignoring our suffering "parts."

They’re getting on my nerves equally 😬

Chemtrails 😂 j/k 😅

"The Deconstructed"

One by one we joined the call
And then some saw it all
For what it is and what it's not
Not inclusive or blood bought

We broke ourselves to fit the frame
We abandoned reason to play the game
Twisted and contorted minds
Excluding many from divine

Love it!

I was going to to suggest Rowan actually

Trying to keep my dad’s anxiety level down by playing him Joel Osteen sermons even though the sound of this fraudster’s voice and his bullshit preaching makes me want to puncture my ear drums. But, it works for dad. So I suffer.

So true! Thank you

Well this is no fun 😤

6. I dyed my hair dark red a year and a half ago and I loved it until it started growing out and fading a few weeks later. Ultimately I think I feel more comfortable with my natural dark blonde that doesn’t require constant upkeep but the red was hot.

Who asked for tariffs???? I just don’t understand why this is The Big Plan that apparently republicans want???

I always thought the USA had a pretty good system of government until Trump blew everything up and nobody stopped him.
