If you need to take a nap before doing tasks, nap. If you need help, ask. If you need medication to better your health, take it. We should all be gentler on ourselves. Just because we need a little help (or accommodation) doesn't mean we aren't worthy or incapable.

I always do multiple takes, but someone walked in during the first take, which made me mad as hell. I can’t sit in here without booking the booth. So, as to why they thought it was available WITHOUT reserving the space for themselves, is beyond me. 🤦🏽♀️

So-called “conversion therapy” is an abusive pseudoscience that pits kids against their families and has been rejected by EVERY major medical & mental health organization.
This week, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case challenging Colorado’s ban on this dangerous practice.

If conversion therapy is deemed speech, then bans on it likely will fall.
