Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
I’m not a fan of the term ally. It feels like a consolation prize for not having a label that is traditionally othered by society? Why do we need a label for what is baseline human decency?

#ChronicPain #Grieving #SeasonalDepression
You are not alone, you should not have to deal with that on top of everything else, and one day I hope you’ll be able to look back and feel grateful it was temporary. One day I hope you’ll find family and friends who appreciate you and all your wondrous qualities.
You’re not missing out on anything either because let’s be real: nobody could have as much fun when you’re not there 😉
If this year there are people in your life who aren’t supporting you, people who you can’t be yourself around, or people who are treating you unkindly, I am so sorry.
the people who love you would rather you rested, asked for help, or cry if you need to! The people who love you will be glad you’re making the effort to be with them! The people who love you want you to know you’re not ruining anything!
I know how hard the holidays can be, the pressure to push through pain because you don’t want to ruin it for your friends and family, well let me tell you something...
