I remember sitting in every history class thinking “I wonder when a woman will show up. I wonder when we’ll learn about a woman in history. I wonder when we’ll hear about a woman.” There are many important female historical figures. We don’t hear about them because men don’t want us to. Men are not the only ones who shaped this world; but they like to pretend they are.

hey, if you’re a speaking person (or partially speaking due to speech loss episodes or what have you) and you hear another speaking person say shit like “going nonverbal” or “i’m semiverbal bc i go nonverbal sometimes”
stop that shit. program a button into your aac or keep a card in your communication cards or prepare a verbal script to inform others.
a bit lost as to what to say? try this one out for size:
“actually, nonverbal is a permanent state of not talking. it means you don’t talk ever, you don’t “go nonverbal”. some words to describe your experience could be, losing speech, speech loss episode, losing words, verbal shutdown…”
the nonverbal community does not need to do this on their own. we owe them that much.
spread the word like butter on toast yall! call out that shit when you see it.
this is so important, take care of yourself babes
I wonder if you have tips on how to deal with depression and finding joy in life again when you struggle to feel it 🫠 💜
I will try my best to answer this but I am not super educated on this subject so keep that in mind.
Depression can often make it feel like the joy has been sucked out of life, but it's important to remember that you are not alone and that help is available.
SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP
If you are feeling depressed, it's important to reach out to a mental health professional. They can provide you with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication, or both. If your diagnosis includes medication it is also important to not get addicted to it, as that could lead to other thing
STAY CONNECTED
Loneliness can exacerbate feelings of depression, so try to stay connected with friends and family. Even if you don't feel like talking about your feelings, just spending time with loved ones can provide a much needed boost. But also make sure you are taking time to yourself
SELF CARE
This can mean different things for different people, but essentially, it's about taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. This could involve getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, or practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques.
FIND JOY IN SMALL THINGS
When you're depressed, it can be hard to find joy in anything. But try to take pleasure in small, everyday things. This could be a cup of your favorite tea, a walk in the park, or an episode of a show you love.
BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF
Recovery from depression takes time, and it's okay to have bad days. Don't beat yourself up if you're not feeling better right away.
LIMIT EXPOSURE TO NEGATIVITY
Try to limit your exposure to negative news and stressful situations. Surround yourself with positivity as much as you can.
SET PERSONAL GOALS
Having something to work towards can provide a sense of purpose, which can in turn lead to feelings of joy and fulfillment. This could be anything from learning a new skill, to completing a project, or achieving a fitness goal.
UPLIFTING ACTIVITIES
Engage in activities that make you happy. This could be reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, painting, or spending time in nature.
PRACTICE GRATITUDE
Try to focus on the positive aspects of your life. This might be difficult during a depressive episode, but acknowledging and appreciating what you have can enhance feelings of joy and satisfaction.
