You’re Tired. Burnt Out. Exhausted. Stressed.

I've been working on these Sailor Scouts throughout the year (some longer) and now seems like an appropriate time to preview them. None of them are done yet, but they always remind me to find the light in the dark. We are not alone.

Hello there 👋

The holiday season can take its toll. What should be a time of joy and celebration can be a period of stress, blues, or even burnout 😩 fortunately for all y’all, that is where Sunday comes into play.

And that is why we are back with Self-Care Sunday, to ensure that you get some essential downtime that y’all need to truly look after yourself. We are partnering with Therapy for Black Girls, who have put together some essential resources to help YOU through the winter. 🌠

This second week is simple, but vital. We are looking at The Importance of Community and Friendship! 

During the pandemic, and in the years after, we all learned so much about the importance of community and friendship for emotional well-being. Join @therapyforblackgirls Community Manager, Jasmine Jones, for some essential tips on sustaining healthy relationships. Felt you were not celebrated by your circle in 2023? Well, find out how to find the people that will do just that in 2024. 🎊

i feel like disabled people are expected to tolerate and put up with things that able-bodied people aren't. (in my experience and from what i've witnessed).

disabled people shouldn't be expected to put up with ableism, rude comments, invasive questions, and just bad faith remarks in general.

we're people with boundaries and emotions, but firstly, we're people. we shouldn't be held to a different standard of what we should think is okay. we don't exist to educate or inform. we're allowed to not answer a question, even if you meant it well.

disabled people aren't mean for setting boundaries or having their caretakers/caregivers set boundaries for them if they are not able to set them themselves.

we're allowed to have privacy.
