If it isn't hard, you probably aren't learning anything. Say this over and over again! Does anyone thing watching sport on TV will strengthen their skills & muscles? No!
Education works the same way. As I used to say to students: "enrolling in college is not a flu shot; it's a gym membership."

This constant abusive behavior by the President of the United States is incredibly triggering to SA and/or DV survivors.
Statistics state 1 in 6 women have been assaulted in our lifetime.
But we all know that number is even higher - coercion, threats, death, silence.
The complicity is worse.

I'm waiting for a reporter to say, after Trump calls them a terrible reporter, that the American people think he is a terrible President, probably the worst in American history.

Holding space so everyone can live their truth seems even more important than usual these days.
We made these pieces as holiday gifts for family — and a few more for anyone who’d like to pass that care along.
