May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It's worth educating yourself. You never know who IS dealing with mental health issues. And we'd appreciate it if y'all would stop being idiots about it and give us a break lol.

This is why the USA is so unrecognizable to many of us. I dont even have to go back to childhood for an example. Even 25 years ago Americans overall would have been FLOORED if politicians at this level got away with crap like this AND won. There was a time when scandal got you ousted, not elected.

I don’t like pathological liars. I don’t like bullies. I don’t like sexual predators and abusers. I don’t like criminals and insurrectionists and inciters of violence. I especially don’t like ones who run for president.

People still don't get it. THEY STILL DON'T GET IT. 😡There's no such thing as perfect mental health at all times. Mental health issues are REAL, have ALWAYS been here & aren't going away. And those of us who deal with them are NOT going to let the rest of the world sweep us under the rug ANY. MORE.

I'm afraid to say that the name of her blog only rang a distant bell. I think a co-worker 20 years ago pointed it out to me. But it dropped off my radar. I'm SAD to hear that her struggle has ended this way.

Somethin to counteract the political bile that's risen in my throat today. Claire (from the series Outlander), 14x17", #graphite pencil on paper. It was a gift to my mother. Well...more a gift strongly suggested by the recipient LOL.

I already think AI is moving way too far, too fast. Now is the time for glass ceilings to be shattered. We don't need to be creating new, artificial ones.

Yet another corner women have been painted into for ages. To be fair, many people across many cultures have been conditioned to this gender-specific behavior, and it isn't binary or flow in only one direction. Mo' money, mo' problems. Been true since before the first shekel. https://bzfd.it/3VQOTeu

Oh, and a metric they totally forgot to specifically call out: #mentalhealth . Just saying "health" overall isn't the same thing. That stigma is tough to outrun no matter what gender construct you identify with. #MentalHealthMatters #bipolardoesnotmeanbroken #youwishyouhadADDsuperpowers

This has followed me my entire life. Still is. Not sure I'll get to see the needle move much on workplace gender bias during my lifetime, but here goes nothin.

Gorgeous. If anyone had seen that design on any other surface they wouldn't even blink. Taking that down as "offensive" is literally calling this woman's body offensive. How anyone who would say so can live with themselves, I dont know. 😔

This tattoo was made for a woman who had breast cancer. Some media has removed it for considering it a nudity image & for being offensive. However, i think this woman is brave & strong, so I’m going to Spout the photo. I ask for your support. Echo to show your support for her.

It's imperative we keep Spoutible toxic-free, and I am going to need your help to accomplish that. The past few days have made me realize just how many people want this community to fail. We have to show the world a social media platform can be successful without the toxicity we are fleeing.

BEWARE: There are Republicans running as Democrats and will change back as soon as they are sworn in...

Do your homework and find out who these candidates really are by investigating their past beliefs and the company they were keeping.

Noise-cancelling headphones are one of the greatest inventions of the last 100 years. Now it just needs a mute button for those people who may happen to come along and try to salt your day. *click* nope, REALLY aint tryna hear dat.

Nicole @NMgardener

I hosted a PS dance-a-thon today. Every kid standing on the periphery not dancing got a pair of noise-reducing headphones. Guess what happened next? They danced and had a great time. Auditory hyper-sensitivity is a real trigger for fight, flight, or fright. Give yourself the gift of noise reduction!

Anyone who thinks Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him & the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just *today* died—& w/o accountability.

Racial terror is not ancient history. It's contemporary reality.
