We Don't Survive Quietly — We Burn Brighter Than the Wreckage This is for every person who has been told their life depends on a pill — then made to feel guilty for needing it.

"I am fire-born.
Truth-heavy.
Loud with purpose.
Soft where it matters and steel where it doesn't.
And I know damn well what I'm fighting for." ~Cupcake80

Our #Top10Tuesday comes to a close with a powerhouse #1 blog from an author bravely stepping into her future. #AGirlLikeMe #WomenandHIV

Still F*cking Here Going into a new year, I don't want us chasing "inspirational." I want us choosing real. Messy. Honest. Boundaries over burnout. Silence when needed.

"We're still here.
Despite the stigma.
Despite the bullsh*t.
And honestly — that's everything. ❤️‍🩹"

Existing in a world that tries to shame you, erase you, or push you into a corner can be overwhelming. #AGirlLikeMe blogger Cupcake80 wants you to know you were meant for greater. #womenempoweringwomen

A Woman Named Ruth March 10th is NWGHAAD (National Women's and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day), and this is also Women's History Month, so I would like to tell you about one woman in particular who was called "the Cemeter...

"I wanted to learn more about the women who have been involved in the movement against this pandemic from the beginning and celebrate and honor them." @katie6817.bsky.social #AGirlLikeMe

In honor of #NWGHAAD and #WomensHistoryMonth, learn about #RuthCokerBurks - helping to #endHIVstigma since 1984.

yeah, i just finished #AGirlLikeMe and honestly i don't recommend going past episode 33, because after that they introduce a fat character and use every opportunity to make jokes about her. also the english translations nosedive around there - like all the good translators went on strike...

I loved the beginning but after a while I felt tired with the pacing. I'm now in the middle and can't watch another 20 episodes like that... even #HouMingHao can't make me do that...
Imo that drama had really profited from a cut down to max. 30 eps...

The Love of My Life Our pets are such amazing sources of comfort and healing, at times more effective than medicine and as soothing as prayer.

Any pet person can tell you that sometimes support comes in the form of furry hugs.

Disclosure Is My Gift to You For twenty years, I have carried a truth within me: I am a Black woman living with HIV. That truth is not a burden, but a gift—though it took me many years to see it that way.

🏆 In at 6️⃣ in our #Top10Tuesday series is a blog about #disclosure - and a gift of vulnerability.

"Disclosure takes #HIV out of the shadows and places it where it belongs—in the full story of who I am." -NikNik 'NeekNeek', #AGirlLikeMe Read more ⤵️

Happy New Year Sisters The voice that whispers you should accept less, stay small or be grateful just to be tolerated. That voice is not truth.

This feels like a good time to share this reminder from #AGirlLikeMe blogger Marig2016 👉 "You are worthy of safety, softness, honesty, and love ... starting with your own."
