Someone needs to hear this: When people decide to be audacious with their disrespect, you have a right to be courageous with your boundaries. You do not owe kindness to anyone who treats you with contempt. Teach people that there are consequences for their actions toward you.

In case you haven't figured it out yet people in my life (especially my kids) often hear, "look at that sky!" Or "what a pretty sunset!" Accompanied by me usually pulling over or otherwise stopping what I'm doing to try and grab a photo.

We had storms a couple weeks ago and these were the skies afterwards....

Two kindergarteners are in critical condition after a gunman opened fire in a KINDERGARTEN CLASSROOM in California today and it isn’t even on the front page of the news sites.

WTF have we allowed ourselves to become?

Drawing of a Venn diagram by “the adhd gift” One side says “wanting to go out and do all the things” and the other says “never wanting to leave the house ever again” with “me” in the middle

Always the struggle.

Knot,cord magic & witch's ladders are probably descended from ancient folk magic; think Celtic patterns and knotwork.In earlier times it could have involved subtly weaving magical intention into everyday objects,such as clothing & bedding. Fascinating topic!🪢 #Druidsky #OBODSky #witchsky #pagansky

There are no bad feelings!

Yes, some feel bad in the moment. Yes, some are challenging, some are motivating. Yes, some may drive us to act in ways that we don't want to act.

All feelings are important, all feelings deserve to be recognized, validated, respected, processed.

Please don't share videos or images of autistic children (or adults) having meltdowns. You likely wouldn't want someone exposing your most vulnerable moments without your permission, and autistic people deserve the same respect and privacy. Spread the word. #neurodiversity #autism #autistic

Here’s a crazy idea. Let’s make sure the proposed new FBI Director can pass an FBI Background Check.

So pretty!

So much of being disabled is grieving. Grieving the body you’ll never have, grieving the capabilities you used to have but no longer do, grieving friends and family who no longer reach out. It’s a heavy, ongoing type of grief that is compounding.

Keep pushing 😤

Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.

Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.

Love is essential.
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander.

Love puts in work.
