I’m going to pop this up for y’all that are awake with your mind spinning on that relationship issue. Send it in. No question is too “weird.”

@nickimoraa I go with the tooth was soo heavy....or had a cavity in it when I fall asleep. The other week I had to commit to sleeping in my kids bed because they half woke and rolled over and held me..... we all woke up with BFF necklaces for us to share. Our TF does not leave money..

I forgot to switch out my son’s tooth and leave money last night so instead of breaking the charade, I spent 90mins explaining that tooth fairies are federal employees and there’s currently a government shutdown.

Let’s be real oranges and sweepstakes are what people are holding on to right now @sumocitrus ! sumocitrus.com/?rpid=9&rpr=36…

People of America 🇺🇸 Let’s give the jealous orange rapist in chief a reminder here , of Obama’s accomplishments while being in the office of the Presidency!! #BlackHistory #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

When I talk about history with my kids-I get to show them that my grandpa Pete sang Obama into office, when yours voted for the thing occupying the White House & our country at the present moment. It’s all important history, let’s not erase it. Let’s use our voices @springsteen

How it started. How it's going.  Ten years later, and it's still a good look! IWillVote.com

@canyouforgive Truly feel that. Moving into a softer, restful season that leaning into these ways of self compassion brings such lightness.

@MorayaLMFT Forgiveness is a form of self-compassion

“For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?” - bell hooks

Today, we’re sharing Sonya Cohen Cramer and Pete Seeger’s recording of the anti-war song “When I Was Most Beautiful,” a translation of a Japanese poem by Noriko Ibaragi that Sonya’s uncle Pete originally set to music in 1969. Listen here: orcd.co/sonya-cohen-cr…

For the remainder of Social Work month I’ll be posting 1 daily question that I have for SWs/therapists in the field. A thread. 😊 #socialwork #socialworkmonth #therapists

@briimcnair @distinctly_Kara @nicolefallonNY @UnsungEmpath @AlignYourLife @_thetruthdoctor @LisaSavageLCSW @drcmcleod @SWcareer @BlackTherapyFri @ChariceCalloway @MelissaDumaz @Kaela_MFT Since I’m neurodivergent/with a visual processing disorder I used an audio prep course and listened to it. Game changer. Passed on the first go.

@EdwardNorton is now playing my grandpa (Pete Seeger) in the upcoming @bobdylan movie I hope he shows/fight club style: The #1 rule in my hippy childhood home that Seegers (all BIPOC grandkids) can only think about what you do for the world and self-care is never an option🫠

Bravo @Dove on this fantastic PR box. Honestly the curly hair products are fab for my entirely family, adults too! Love that you combined it with a cause! I just signed this petition @ColorOfChange. Will you join me? #O4 campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/help…

Brilliant read. Things we explore so much in therapy.

I’ve lived back in the south for only 1 month and I had the urge to make my own buttermilk today…
