Someday, you'll be someone's best thing... Until then, be the best thing for yourself. 🥀🤞🏾

🤍

We also do not speak ill of “or to” the living. I should have told so many people to f off, but I didn't because I was always told to be a good girl.

Therapist: So you've been avoiding people again.

Me: Not avoiding. Filtering.

Therapist: How's the filter working?

Me: Very few survivors.

Lovely Bird Songs 🎶

—Rainer Maria Rilke

A birdsong can - even for a moment - make the whole world into a sky within us, because we feel that the bird does not distinguish between its heart and the world's.

~Rainer Maria Rilke
Excerpt from The Inner Sky: Poems

Single-panel cartoon showing a woman saying "It's raining men." Facing her is a man saying "Not all men."

Photo of two women sitting on top of a high wall which has a mural on it featuring Indian womend and rhe word 'fearless'

Fearless, a collective of activists/artists building a movement of women across India and South Asia, who use art to reclaim public space for women #WomensArt

Daily reminder:

Caring about the well-being of other people is not being political or "woke."

And I'm not interested in a love that gives up so easily I want a love that's set on keeping me When it hurts, we don't even think to cut it off And I'm not interested in a heart that doesn't beat for me I want a mind that meets me equally When it's hard, it won't ever feel like it's too much Remember when we used to do anything for love?

And I'm not interested in a love that gives up so easily
I want a love that's set on keeping me
—Remember when we used to do anything for love?

~ Dua Lipa

You are worthy of a beautiful life.

And I'm not interested in a love that gives up so easily I want a love that's set on keeping me When it hurts, we don't even think to cut it off And I'm not interested in a heart that doesn't beat for me I want a mind that meets me equally When it's hard, it won't ever feel like it's too much Remember when we used to do anything for love?

I Stop Writing the Poem Tess Gallagher to fold the clothes. No matter who lives or who dies, I'm still a woman. I'll always have plenty to do. 1 bring the arms of his shirt together. Nothing can stop our tenderness. I'll get back to the poem. I'll get back to being a woman. But for now there's a shirt, a giant shirt in my hands, and somewhere a small girl standing next to her mother watching to see how it's done.

Dans le métro, New York (1967)

Good night, friends. ⭐️ I feel in every girl there is a spirit, a wild pixie, that if let go, would run and dance in grassy fields until the end of the world. And then that girl grows up, that pixie hides, but it's always there, peeking out behind old eyes and reading glasses, laughing, waiting, to one day dance again. Atticus

Good night, friends. ⭐️

Thank you.

I have also noticed the collective break among women. I know personally so many who have been at their bandwidth and living in fight or flight for so long, having to deal with this misogynistic, tyrannical nightmare.

Sending you love back, Ande.
You deserve all and more…

Truth

🤍

Things I never told you.
A home has never quite meant safety for me. Nothing felt or feels like it's mine. I am forever on the outside looking in, hoping someone will welcome me "home" in a way that feels real - in a way that doesn't leave me wondering if I'm wanted there.

Are you okay?

I’m having a hard time the last few weeks re: The Men™️. I haven’t been able to talk about it without tears, suppressing white-hot violent rage or feeling sick.

Not one man has asked me if I’m holding up, so I’ll assume they dgaf or think I am.

I’m asking every woman.

No, I am not ok. Thank you for asking. Now that I think of it, no male friends IRL have asked how I'm doing. I am an SA survivor; it is all very depressing. I'm pretty sure I've voiced that.
I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I'm heartbroken for all females.
I'm at a loss.
