Description: When the laws are unjust you have a moral obligation to reject the laws. And goddamn the laws are looking pretty f*cking bleak right now.* . Yeehaw fuck the law #emotionalbirds . *obv some people have more privilege and safety in rejecting or even critiquing the laws--so, I guess I'm encouraging those of us with more privilege to *use* it.
Description: I am holding onto the words of Audre Lorde to remind me that there is no one right way to move through this moment in time. We each have unique gifts, abilities and experiences we are bringing to the resistance of fascism, and also of antipathy. The most important thing, I think, is that we are each investing in the ways we can connect with one another and take care of one another. It happens in lots of little, daily steps. We fight back.
Description: When I am struggling most with how dark and scary things feel right now, when I am feeling the most overwhelmed... I try to remember that I am not alone. We are not alone. I have to remember there *is* a long history of resistance in this country. As long as the legacy of hatred and abuse spans in the united states, there is an equally long and storied legacy of activism and organizing against injustice. . "We can each of us do the impossible as long as we convince ourselves it has been done before." Octavia Butler
Description: I am struggling with exactly what I want and need to say about this illustration. But, here is what I know. In many ways, we have been here before and the way through it is through our own collective strength and power. "Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind." - Virginia Woolf
Description: I guess I just feel like most days I am doing my best, but I’m not sure that makes a warrior? Here is my daily journal entry? Here I am going on another walk for my brain? Mostly I’m just here trying to figure out the best ways to live in my own brain and body, and isn’t that what most of us are doing anyways? Why yes, I am a mental health warrior. Rawr. #emotionalbirds
Description: I was talking with my kiddo on the way home from school the other day and we both agreed that sometimes you just need a little side quest, ya know, as a pick-me-up. A little treat. A little help-me-get-through-the-task-i-really-don't-want-to-do. This #emotionalbird is right along for the ride. and the quest. but these are my emotional support side quests #thequestchoseme
