🫠 “So… are you seeing anyone?”
😑 “When are you going to have kids?”
😩 “What even is your job again?”

If even reading these made you flinch, this one’s for you.

Whether it’s the holidays, a family reunion, or just brunch with a boundary-pushing friend, it’s okay to:
✔️ Not explain yourself.
✔️ Protect your energy.
✔️ Practice responses that feel good before you’re in the moment.

Let’s normalize the art of not answering ✨ everything ✨ in 2026.
Save this post for your next “you still haven’t...” moment.

Today is Trans Youth Day, a day to pause, affirm, and act.

Trans youth aren’t “brave” just for existing. They’re brilliant, creative, resilient, and worthy of thriving without having to fight for it.

We see you. We’re with you. We’re committed to building spaces of healing and belonging, together. 🖤

If you're spending tonight exactly how you want to -- amazing! If you're navigating messy family dynamics, complicated feelings, or holding a little grief -- you aren't alone.

There’s no one right way to be in this season. Joy can look like keeping the tradition of making chocolate matcha cookies. Peace can look like not going to a Christmas church service. Connection can look like choosing yourself and people you choose.

Here’s to quiet joy, full laughs, warm food, safe spaces, and being exactly where you are. Wishing you a gentle, meaningful, and whatever-you-need-it-to-be kind of Christmas. ✨

Feeling off lately? Your brain might just need a little support.

When dopamine is low, everyday tasks feel heavier. This menu offers your nervous system something to work with. Pick one. See how it feels. That’s enough. 💚

Your q***r and trans loved ones aren’t statistics or headlines. They’re human beings navigating systems that weren’t built with them in mind.

Let’s show up with care, not commentary.
With presence, not pressure.
With warmth, not worry.

And if you’re the one carrying the weight today: You’re not alone. We see you. We love you.

The holiday season can feel like a spotlight...bright, busy, and full of expectations.

But if your reality is quiet grief, fatigue, or guardedness? That’s valid too. Maybe you’re navigating faith wounds, identity shifts, grief, or simply the heaviness of the world. You don’t have to wear celebration like armor.

This space was built for the souls who need softness: the ones who need permission to rest, to say “not this year,” or to feel what feels real, not what looks good. ✨

Whether you’re okay with festivities or skipping them altogether, your pace is yours, and it’s enough.

Raise your hand if you're tired! But if you're tired, are you giving yourself the type of rest you need?

There are many types of rest and some includes:

-Mental: Our brains are frequently working to sort information, solving problems, and making meaning. Rest here is giving your mind a little breather with activities to let your mind do what it wants to, quiet time, meditation, or dumping all those thoughts on a notepad.

-Physical: We're most familiar with this. Physical rest is low energy activities like lying down/sleeping, gentle movements, and giving your body and muscles a break.

-Sensory: Sensory rest includes taking a break from sensory input that feels overstimulating. Examples of senses that can get overstimulated, bright lights, loud noises, constant physical touch, and crowded environments.

-Social: Social rest can include managing (e.g. reducing) time with stressful or high needs relationships, or even breaks from social interactions.

What are you needing (and what would you add to the list) for yourself?

SAD can show up as fatigue, irritability, loss of motivation, or feeling emotionally heavy. You’re not lazy or ungrateful. This is your body reacting to seasonal shifts. So, let’s talk about it.

You don't need to justify if you're hurting. If you're hurting, you're hurting. And though it's hard to admit in a world that values a shiny exterior, starting where you're at is needed.

Therapy is one of those ✨spaces✨ that's inclusive and non judgemental to work through what you're struggling with. You deserve to be understood.

Being welcoming and accepting is a good start. But intentional affirmation? That's where healing begins. That's what true allyship is.

It's the difference between being tolerated and being deeply valued. When spaces move from passive acceptance to intentional affirmation, they become safer, more honest, and more human.

Let this be your reminder: You deserve to be more than accepted. You deserve to be seen, respected, and loved in full. 🧡

Everyone experiences holiday seasons differently. And that's okay. While we're in the midst of it, here's a gentle reminder to not forget about what your body's telling you and to care for yourself ❤️

Today is Human Rights Day, a global reminder of the rights every human should be afforded.

But “should” doesn’t mean “is.”

For q***r and trans communities, human rights aren’t theoretical. They’re deeply personal—intertwined with safety, healthcare access, housing, freedom of expression, and the right to exist without fear.

This day is a call to keep showing up, speaking out, and standing beside the people still waiting for their rights to be seen as non-negotiable.

🏳️‍🌈 Q***r rights are human rights.
🏳️‍🌈 Trans rights are human rights.
🏳️‍🌈 Liberation means all of us.
