I need you all to look at my good fictional friend, Autumn Ansong. She's from @bevsi.bsky.social's brilliant sapphic webcomic, Heartstrings. THEN I want you to get back to me about Black women being desirable! 💜🤎✨ (Pictured here with her bandmates in Velvet Crowbar with lead singer, Ro Cambria)

Yup #ghostandpals #ibispaint #fanart

everyone look at my vocaloid undertale crossover again

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

When I think about doctor Mafuyu, I end up thinking back to this meme for some reason -- #prsk_FA

Daily trauma recovery looks like managing our time & money; talking back to cognitive distortions w/ patience & realism; taking time to stretch, move, rest, & care for our body; feeding & hydrating ourselves appropriately; & responding to "symptoms" w/ care & grace, not judgment.

So you were wrong. I've been wrong plenty of times in my life. It doesn't mean we're "stupid" or "bad." It doesn't mean we can't trust ourselves going forward-- provided we're realistic & willing to cop to it & adjust when we've f*cked up. Ease up. Turns out we're human.

Trauma Brain will try to tell you today that since this life isn't what you expected or what you wanted, there's "no point" in trying to change or improve or save it. What bullsh*t. Breathe; blink; focus; & look for the next recovery supporting micro choice.

It's real important, as we work to reduce our anxiety & make ourselves less vulnerable to anxiety, that we not shame or attack ourselves for being anxious. Anxiety happens. It's not a character flaw. It's a sign part of us is sensitive & wounded-- & needs compassion & patience.

A thing almost everybody reading this has in common is, we are absolutely committed to NOT being like our abusers & bullies-- which starts w/ how we talk to & behave toward ourselves. Kicking the sh*t out of ourselves is not an option if we really don't want to be like "them."

CPTSD is going to try to trick us today into focusing on "urgent" things, instead of things we know to be actually IMPORTANT-- that is, aligned w/ our recovery (& life) goals & values. Don't fall for it. Remember who you are, what your life is all about-- & stay on target today.

Sustainable trauma recovery is going to have us thinking about what we really want & why we want it more than we ever have in our lives-- because for many of us it was never safe or realistic growing up to think of the future or take our own needs & desires seriously. IYKYK.

We are not our thoughts, feelings, & behaviors; we are people who think, feel, & do things. That may sound semantic, but it's an important, practical distinction for survivors who have been reduced to our symptoms & struggles by a world uninterested in who we actually are.

Holding ourselves accountable for past behavior we don't love, that doesn't represent our true values or best self, doesn't have to mean ruthlessly punishing ourselves. True accountability & amends require change, not suffering. Focus on doing the next right thing.

We have nothing to prove by exposing ourselves to people or situations that do nothing but make us feel like garbage. Nobody's going to give us a medal for proving we can "take it." Don't get baited into wasting time & focus playing stupid games to win stupid prizes.

I'll tell you right now, shifting our self talk to be realistically supportive & self compassionate is going to feel fake as hell when we've been conditioned for years to kick the sh*t out of ourselves in our own head. Rewiring that sh*t takes time, patience, & commitment.

Breathe. You're enough, & you're doing enough by focusing on just the next recovery supporting micro choice. Breathe. Breathe.

People don't get what a risk it feels like to CPTSD survivors to try new things, when we've been conditioned to believe we'll be mocked or abandoned for being "bad" at them-- which, EVERYBODY is bad at EVERY new thing at first. Trying takes courage, patience, & self compassion.

Oh my god: what a stunning reminder of why the humanities are important, and why conservatives want to devalue and debase them…

Kind of obsessed with my 11-year-old's drawing of a black hole barfing out a rainbow and creating the earth.

That belief that we "need" the approval of specific other people to have worth goes back to an instinctive craving for our parents' love, which was linked to survival in our evolutionary history. But it's a false connection. We don't "need" ANYBODY'S love or approval to survive.
