When we say money is political….

For real though. We aren’t kidding when we talk about figuring out the money stuff because it gives you OPTIONS.

RIP to the legend known as Jane Goodall

Some facts about her you may not know:

· Goodall began her research in Gombe, Tanzania, without a university degree. She was a secretary who dreamed of working with animals. Her lack of academic training initially led some scientists to dismiss her work, but it later gave her a fresh perspective.

· The paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey chose her for the Gombe project specifically because she was untrained, believing she’d observe with “an open mind” instead of being constrained by scientific dogma.

·  In 1960, she saw a chimpanzee (David Greybeard) stripping twigs to fish for termites. At the time, “man the tool-maker” was considered a defining human trait. Her discovery forced scientists to redefine humanity’s uniqueness.

·  Instead of numbering them, as scientists did then, she gave chimpanzees names like David Greybeard, Flo, and Fifi. This was controversial but helped prove they had distinct personalities and emotions.

·  She was the first to record violent inter-group conflict among chimps, challenging the then-idealized image of them as “gentle vegetarians.”

·  She observed them hunting colobus monkeys, upending the belief that chimps were herbivores.

·  She became Dame Jane Goodall in 2004, one of Britain’s highest honors.

·  In 1991, she launched this youth program in Tanzania to inspire young people globally to engage in conservation and humanitarian efforts. It now operates in over 60 countries.

·  She spent around 300 days a year traveling, lecturing, and advocating for the environment, despite being in her 80s.

people who've never experienced family court can't comprehend the reality: it's a cycle of psychological torture that drains you emotionally and financially. they don't understand that the system is incentivized to drag cases out, making wealth from our despair.

the ultimate insult is the advice from those on the sidelines: "move on." "stop fighting." "think about the children!". as if I'm the one causing the chaos, and not a parent desperately trying to shield my children from it.

fighting legal abuse is one thing. but being punished by our own circles for trying to protect our kids? that's a special kind of hell—exhausting, painful, and utterly isolating.

“We can’t just sit and stare at our wounds forever” 🫶🏼❤️‍🩹

Triggers are reminders of pain we still carry. Healing means understanding where those feelings come from and learning how to move forward with compassion. 💙
