“My energy is expensive. I reserve it for the people, spaces, content, and things that add value to my life and align with my values.”

“As a Black femme who’s been blamed for the downfall of community and “democracy” for merely setting boundaries, having standards, and saying no. Seeing this much grace extended by the public to an abusive war criminal has made me MORE audacious about my preservation and autonomy.”
This racket seeks to run us dry. Erasure in exchange for slivers of conditional approval will never be worth our life’s autonomy. It’s time to stop chasing after the dignity that’s been afforded to our counterparts for free.

It’s hard to recover when you’re being retraumatized.
Log out and protect your psyche.
Set boundaries for the content that makes you feel like shit.

Prolonged stress impacts our heart health, increases chronic pain, decreases our energy, causes digestive issues, and insomnia. It also weakens our immune system, putting us directly at risk during the pandemic. These symptoms are serious and fatal.
You aren’t an android. If your mind and body are grappling with trauma response and struggling to hold things together, please give yourself a break.

If you are ignorant, I will not teach you.
