My face is just the most honest expression of where I'm at in the moment. I have no poker face.

Today just wanna share this #muppetmug brought to you by the kids days off school and trying to shepherd them out of the house and off of screens

Deep thanks to @desibility.bsky.social for working with me on this essay. I'm so happy to be given a space to talk about what the past 6 months have looked like me, from a long time in the hospital, losing my ability to walk, and now - although mostly trapped - home.

I promise you the smallest acts of love are fierce and sustaining to others AND ourselves amid the intentional chaos of the machine. Use your echo location skills

Through all this noise .... How are you showing up for your family, community, disabled people, trans and queer friends?

Are you logging off and doing the work of loving with your hands and heart? Writing love notes? Checking in on people? Making care plans? Listening? Holding?

What a disgusting comment someone felt compelled to make. 🤬

If you need someone to say " I believe in the best version of you" I got you. And. Truly. I believe that we all can do better. So whatever it is that we can be better at let's take small steps to make that happen - Your caring, firm yet gentle Mom 7 #momcorerant

They must not have experienced the unconditional love of parents or have ever had to reckon with the disappointed " I know you are capable of more" parenting that is essential in order to for people to believe they can be better 6

Our words were chosen with utmost care for their well being and if that's insulting it makes me really sad that they view community guidance or parentage as insulting to their being 5

I'm actually doubling down because a community member found a couple of our parental vibes insulting and beneath them when held accountable for harm.4

It's hard AF to be a parent but we need more caregiver energy. So if you need mom energy ( I mean this in a genderless way) I'm here for you.3

I'll also hold you accountable and dole out consequences not as punishment but so that you can grow.... That we can be the best people we can be. That is unconditional love.2

Today I'm fully embracing #momcore by that I mean outside of being an actual mom if you need a cheerleader or advocate, to help move, drive you places, make you a meal, pack snacks... I'll do my darndest.1

Love as an organizing principle sounds so radical and so necessary right now. Wise words from @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social ♥️

I want to SUPPORT the folks who INSPIRE ME the artists, musicians, writers, creators that energize me. How can I become part of their nourishment as they are for me?

DIVEST from apparatus, platforms & services that ACT as middlemen usurping nutrition & nourishment to line their profits alone DEFINE what EXPLOITATION looks like online. Slowly unweave from services that don't benefit the hands of creators that they may be able to be SUSTAINED FULLY by their offerings

I used to share random thoughts on IG stories as text but I recently just started writing the words down on paper with whatever I have on hand. I don't edit for clarity or grammar. I may start sharing snippets of these here. #supportcreators #handwrittennotes

Amazing Mel!! Stoked for you 💞

First Screen free Thursday in the books. Had to cheat and use my phone as a camera, calculator and recording device 😉 So much living happens outside social media platforms and entertainment. Highly recommend
#screenfreethursdays

Gonna embark on a practice of no screen Thursdays to prioritize creativity, curiosity AND get ready to move into my first art studio outside our house ever! #noscreenthursdays #prioritizecreativity

Very inspiring!!

Went down a fascinating rabbit hole ( thanks alej!) about this and thinking about my earlier days of wandering the internet driven by curiosity and searching for depth .... That can no longer really be found on social media due to its nature. When the tools no longer serve us find different tools

More please!! I love this photo series so much💞

Thanks so much for this info! I have GHC but I should be able to ask for a referral and wait🤞

Glad and so happy to hear this! I'm currently hoop jumping to get a diagnosis or waiting for answers myself. Knowing this is a possibility makes waiting somehow easier. I'm supposed to start PT in the interim but am so distrustful of just doing PT with someone who doesn't understand.
