This is actually the nut of it: Leadership (elected or otherwise) is not about YOU - it's about your goals and your team. It's about them. Too many have forgotten that.

You're not drowning because you were too "stupid" or "lazy" to learn how to swim; you're drowning because you were raised by people who didn't get you swimming lessons, & you're exhausted from treading water for decades. No shame-- adult swimming lessons are a thing.

If you are also worried about tariffs and supply chain shortages, and have the financial means to prepare, here is what I have stocked up on and plan to buy soon, plus what I would get if I had kids, a car or a larger home, based on reporting I've read or done myself in the last several months (🧵):

one of the genuine problems with the opinion attention game is that it rewards those who double down and doesn’t particularly reward introspection or intellectual humility. of course this is accelerated by the internet but frankly plenty such cases in boring, slow academia

You are smarter & more effective than your trauma conditioning is letting you believe. The voices of your bullies & abusers are lying to you. Focus in on the image & vibe of who you're becoming-- not who they want you to believe you "have to" be.

Remember: anyone's insistence that what you did go through or what you are going through "isn't that bad" has exactly zero to do w/ how bad something actually is for you, or what you need to manage it. Your lived experience in the arena trumps their view from the cheap seats.

You're allowed to feel positive things without shame. Feeling good does not invalidate your trauma. It does not mean "it wasn't that bad" or that you've been "faking" your symptoms or struggles-- nor does it mean you've "forgiven" your abusers or you're "over" the past.

Many things are bad, but if something good happens to you, I want you to celebrate it. Tell yourself affirmations, compliments, and encouragement. It makes a huge difference, especially over time. I know how hard you are working. I know you are doing your best. I am so proud of you.

I’m excited to announce that I’m putting my candidacy forward for Pope. I don’t meet any of the qualifications—literally none of them—which means I’m highly competitive for the position in this era of rewarded mediocrity.

If you have the means, treat yourself like a beloved friend. Be generous to yourself. Take yourself on adventures. Give yourself little gifts, like a favorite pastry or a favorite meal. Compliment yourself. Make yourself laugh.

I joined my New Jersey Democratic congressional colleagues to call out NOAA cuts ahead of hurricane season. These budget and staffing slashes prevent @noaa.gov from meeting its mission to protect public safety, marine research, and coastal resilience.

Young people SHOULD “have it easier” than you did. I’m sorry you got the strap up hill both ways and paid your debts with pounds of flesh, but the reason we work for progress is to make growing up and growing old gentler, easier, kinder, freer. Struggle isn’t necessary in a healthy society.

A very common challenge for survivors & addicts in recovery is not blowing up a situation, such as a job or relationship, because we're feeling anxious or because Trauma Brain or the Addict Beast is going hard on us about how we're going to f*ck it all up if we don't act first.

Your child could have a school library filled with trans books, be taught only by trans teachers, have trans parents and siblings, be surrounded by trans people and trans content all the time, and I promise you all these things combined will not make your child trans. You know how I know that?

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

I don't think people really grasp that sewing is a skill and that textiles are a legitimate subject of study. The whole point of Elle Woods studying fashion merchandising is that it was supposed to be frivolous but it's actually hard and those skills were transferable to Harvard Law.

Listen. I believe ardently in criticizing our leaders for their failures and inaction but if you refuse to acknowledge their efforts when they do make them and if you refuse to recognize a step in the right direction, you don’t really want change. You just want to complain.
