If we refuse to engage our pain, struggle, and uncertainty, we cut ourselves of both from the presence of God within those difficult times and from the possibility of new life emerging from them. By acknowledging our struggles,
we embrace all of life and open ourselves to God in every moment.

Disabled people’s lives are not tragedies. Parents and carers are not “heroes” for loving disabled people. Disabled people’s private moments should not be shared without consent on your “warrior mom” blog. Disabled people are not your pity hires, dates, or friends. Disabled people do not exist to be saved or spoken for by non-disabled people.
Treat disabled people with respect and dignity. Treat disabled people like people.
good job, guys, we’re killing the shitty pet food industry this time. it can’t POSSIBLY be that we just recognized Gravy Train or Kibbles and Bits for being piss poor food choices; no, we’re just treating our pets too nicely.
forgive yourself. whether you fail a test, eat too many cookies, say the wrong thing, fail a class, or spend a whole day in bed — learn to forgive yourself. the next day will be better. the next day will be a day closer to your next success. you can do it.

Nonbinary people aren’t the reason cis people don’t take trans people seriously. Stop blaming transphobia on other trans people & instead set your sights on the actual cause of transphobia, which is transphobic cis people.
Nonbinary people aren’t the cause for their own oppression.

I’m so mad about the treatment of chronic pain patients with the opioid crisis. I’m so tired of arguing and being scared. I’m so tired of being called a criminal and an addict. I’m so tired of being told I’m going to die from the medication my doctors have prescribed. I’m so tired of being afraid that medication will be taken away without warning and I’ll be bed bound again. I’m just so fucking tired.
