My adjusted dose of depression meds hit last night after a couple of months of feeling pretty low and I just wanted to share my experience. It’s taken me years to consistently recognize my own depression bc it can look different for different people. For me it looks like this: OVERSTIMULATION. My number 1 love language is physical touch. When I’m depressed, physical touch is very overstimulating. My dog will put her head on my or my son will throw his legs over my lap while we’re watch TV and I will have to push away the urge to push them away.

We really all we got because the government doesn't give a fuck. So here's all the places I could find in the last ten minutes that are supporting abortion access: Indigenous Women Rising supports access to contraception and abortion for indigenous people on reservations where domestic and sexual violence are disproportionately high and non-Native offenders are rarely prosecuted: iwrising.org

I want to go to a fucking coffee shop and read a goddamn book while listening to the ambient sounds of folk music and gentle conversation, occasionally glancing up to people watch. I want to walk down a crowded New York sidewalk and step into a bookstore and browse leisurely for approximately two and a half hours.

THIS IS A PERFECT ILLUSTRATION OF SEVERAL SYSTEMATIC RACISM-FUELED FAILURES HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE. Allow me to explain: Black people are statistically more likely to get rejected by banks for loans for homes and businesses = less black owned businesses, including book stores.

I was talking to a couple white friends about the tiny ways white supremacy snakes its way into normalcy and I realized how invisible some of it has become to nonblack people. Tiny ways we're dehumanized daily. So I wanted to do a quick thread about a few examples. "Flesh tone" tights.

I was six and in ballet when I first heard this term. I had to buy flesh tone tights as part of the supplies to take a dance class. Flesh tone tights are not the color of my flesh. This assumption of white as the default is white supremacy.
