Hey friends! Are you neurodivergent? ♾️ Do you experience justice sensitivity or extreme feelings when something unfair happens at work? I’m doing a presentation on this topic and would love to talk with you! I only have 1-3 questions and all are optional and would be shared anonymously. Just DM me!
I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

This is a pre-Black History Month announcement!
Do not post colorized historical photos!

Let it be.
If Black & White photos bother you, interrogate why. Sit w/ more. #blackhistorymonth
It does and they do, too!! ❤️❤️❤️
