(@manijadegarcia) (2) COVID-19 taught us that we have the relatively inexpensive digital tools to build more accessible virtual & blended (virtual + in-person) spaces for creating #community. But tools don't build community, we have to! So how do we do that most effectively?

(@manijadegarcia) (3) How can we utilize #acceptance #compassion & the tools we have to build interconnecting #communities as disabled people with intersecting identities? For example, how do we make people with "psychotic" or "personality" symptoms feel more welcomed?

(@manijadegarcia) #Compassion to me is like creating welcoming, gentle internal space for the things I am #accepting—so I can be curious instead of judgemental about them. I'm reminded of indigenous views of trauma as "wisdom" & a "teacher," that can lead us to healing.

(@manijadegarcia) #compassion & #acceptance are closely related in my experience, like a bi-directional positive correlation, (increasing either can increase the other—try not to get hung up on stats "rules.") & #SelfCompassion is super powerful for general #MentalWellness.

I went by Mani for most of my life. Then last November I opened-up about being a two-spirit person. I began using "he/they" pronouns until that didn't feel natural, then I switched to "they/them," which I am most comfortable with. So I now go by Mani-Jade or "MJ" for short.

So please call me "Mani-Jade" or "MJ" for short. BOTH energies are very strong in me and really love to be acknowledged 🙏🏾❤️.
Today I'm going to share ideas I have been contemplating for managing stress; cultivating joy; & healing as disabled people. I hope we can discuss.
