#DEI “activists” :
How many of us need to be attacked, injured, and DIE, for you to care?
Asking for a growing number of friends.
*if there is one thing I’m proud of lately, is not tagging anyone.

When I was a kid, @lyndacarter.bsky.social’s Wonder Woman paved the way for millions of girls to see themselves as more than damsels in distress.
If you are a woman who see herself that way, a mother of girls who wants them to perceive themselves that way,
That’s DEI!

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are.
After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

I truly believe that everyone should have access to mental health.
And
I’d rather work with a sliding scale and be paid less, than work with insurance companies.
So I joined Open Path Psychotherapy Collective, and whoever calls me through them can set their own fee.

As a therapist, it’s my job to hold space to my clients at the most vulnerable times of their lives. To me, that means that I also have to hold a safe space for the most vulnerable people, those who are at risk from the very systems that are supposed to serve them.

As someone who experienced serving under incompetent alt-right leaders, I approve this message.
And I was not even in battle.

I for one, am grateful to have a Fox News host with zero administrative experience, a drinking problem, and who is accused of multiple sex crimes in charge of the armed forces when my son is drafted for the wars in Greenland and Panama.

We grieve people we’ve never met, or who weren’t even real, because they touch our lives in profound ways. Artists and well-written, masterfully portrayed characters speak to our emotions. We form attachments to them, and with attachment comes loss.
How have artists or characters impacted your life?

The holiday season may add a layer of complexity, stress, and pain, or it may offer distraction and relief. Most likely, both.
In any case, let our language honor the fact that the holidays are temporary but our grief is not.
Throughout the season I’ll share tips for #HolidayGrief.
