“Sometimes I think 2019 was the last year that felt real. Since then everything's felt slightly distorted, like we slipped into an alternate version of the world and no one ever said it out loud.” (1) @warpaintjournal

“Therapy helps but let’s be clear. You can’t CBT your way out of capitalism. You can’t mindfulness your way out of racism. You can’t self care your way out of oppression. You can’t journal your way out of ableism. This isn’t about coping, it’s about deconstructing the systems.” ~ Briana Mills

We are pathologizing people for being affected by a world that is objectively unwell. People are dissociating because it's unbearable. People are anxious because they're paying attention. People are depressed because they're stuck in systems that rob them of safety, connection, and hope. N. Addesi

“We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art – we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones.” ~ Nin

i find it an unmistakable waste of breaths

there is no political center… only the right wing in disguise.

I woke up thinking about this poem today.

“Unfortunately, it has to be you that changes. It has to be you that decides to live a different life. It cannot be your ancestors, spirit, or even god. You are your own breakthrough. And you will absolutely break through.” ~ iya ehime ora @ehimeora.bsky.social
