#YouAreEnough #YouMatter #hope

I had a very emotional weekend. It's been tough around here after I was forced to make a decision that I didn't want to that affected all of the fur babies in different ways. I have been crying and depressed and hibernating. I appreciate that I can come here, even if for only 5 minutes, and scroll the feed to see the good things people are up to and have little hope restored. #YouMatter more than you know.

@si_irini and you are changing the world! Never doubt that!
#YouMatter

@si_irini losing my son was and is still very sad. I miss him more than any words can explain.
But we have work to do to save all the children and folks who deserve HOPE.
By teaching people that everyone is important and that #YouMatter is where the promise for tomorrow becomes a reality.
There is always hope. ❤️

We all know we can eat our way to better health through positive food choices, but – for many of us – there are barriers in the way.

For those with little choice, small changes can offer options.

I used to listen to this playlist almost daily during my FMLA and DBT IOT last summer. I haven't listened to it in quite a few months. For some reason I loaded it up this morning, and wow, it's like a punch to the gut that I needed.

I put it on for background music, but hearing her spoken word... I found myself having to stop everything I was doing to really focus on her message. To hear her words. To stop. And take a moment. To breathe.

I found this album on the Calm app and then I discovered the spoken word version of it, which is truly just incredible to listen to with real focus. I needed this today.

So I am sharing it again for everyone, should you ever need it.

Reach out if you ever want to discuss any of this or learn more about resources.

You matter.

#introduction

(**NOTE**: See thread parent for the reason that this may not ultimately happen.)

Hello #Fediverse! I'm Jason (he/they) / @north@fosstodon.org and I'm preparing my potential candidacy to take the #GA14 seat currently being held hostage by QMAGA terrorist and Internet troll Marjorie Taylor Greene. Marjorie and her ilk have no business representing anybody and need to be removed at all costs.

I'm doing this primarily because the safety of my family quite literally depends on it. I'm otherwise just some software developer from the Oregon Trail generation with a sense of empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding that people should be accepted and allowed to be who they are, regardless of their sexuality, gender identity, ethnicity, mental health, education, economic status, fur-affinity (:eyes:), or religious beliefs. It's also just the right thing to do.

I'm a #Fedizen and I recognize how irritating it can be, so I'm not here to ask for anything and won't be soliciting donations here, now or in the future. I'd be thrilled just to receive advice, constructive feedback, and questions from anybody willing to provide them.

I always have DMs open on every platform and my personal email address is freely available (although info@gadeservesbetter.com or press@gadeservesbetter.com would be generally preferred); please feel free to reach out. My intention is to personally read every message and respond to any good faith comments or questions, particularly in early stages while that's still manageable.

Kindness matters and so do you, so be good to yourself and be good to each other and always be kind.

Limitations are the point.

quick follow-up (admittedly this pep talk is for me as well as for you)... a reminder that no life is wasted, no effort useless, and the quality of *you* is that you are unique. Your life matters, and what you do matters. #YouMatter

(Quote from Charlie Mackesy)

Leave it to life to throw a devastating #curveball in the last few days of the year. I'm really struggling.

So here is my plan for #SelfCare today:

🛏️ Get out of bed
🥣 Eat
🧦 Get dressed
🧼 Wash my face
🌳 Go outside — whether that be a walk or to the car to go somewhere
🫶 Do a self check-in and decide where to go from there.
