This has been living rent free in my head for days so enjoy

Fellow #Freelancers, an agency is still on the hunt for an experienced PR consultant w/emphasis on media relations who specialize in sustainability, climate change, and/or cleantech. Someone who has 20+ hours available p/week. Solid, consistent work and $$ for the right person.

This was the laugh I needed today.

To all my friends who love to write and occasionally find themselves feeling bemused and stifled by ALL THE FUCKING RULES we're supposed to follow: this entire article is one giant breath of fresh air. tor.com/2022/01/04/sto…

You’re not lazy. You’re tired. You’ve been living in survivor mode for so long. Your mind is exhausted! You’re still processing trauma. Be kind to yourself, please.

Been saying this for years. You aren't a failure if you don't love your job. Your passion and your financial needs don't have to come from the same place. npr.org/2022/01/31/107…

Sometimes there are no right words. But even if you can't find the words, you can hold space -- for others, for yourself. It's not enough. Of course it's not enough. But it's not nothing, either.

O best beloved, if you are doomscrolling Twitter today, ask yourself if there is anything you can personally do. If there is, do it. If there isn’t, remember that anxiety is not activism. Your misery does not improve the world a single iota.

We used to “correct” kids who were left-handed - through violence, shame or “guidance” on how to be right handed. And so there seemed to be very few left handers. Then we stopped, & with no shaming there was a seemingly rapid rise. Then a plateau. This is a tweet about trans kids

“Spare me the bullshit of mental illness,” says Sen. Murphy of the United States. “We’re not an outlier on mental illness, we’re an outlier on firearms”

If you woke up angry, a while back we put together a list of local organizations helping to stop gun violence. From addressing mental health issues, fighting for background checks to teaching guitar lessons, there’s good folks doing good things. cc.com/topic/jordan-k…

While Brendan Fraser is certainly talented, being "amazed" that he "manages to bring humanity" to a 600-pound character isn't actually praise for his acting, it's proof of the widespread dehumanization of fat people, especially super fat people. Fat-suit movies perpetuate that.
