From Kai, if you can help: tw transphobia, abuse mention Hi friends, I'm making this post on behalf of my dear friend Monroe Yeung who needs financial support in this time in her life. After graduating from UCLA last year, she began to attend law school in SF this academic year, but took a break for mental health. Unfortunately, this meant she had to stay with her abusive transphobic parents, and she ultimately needed to leave for her own safety. She then found herself living with an abusive and controlling roommate and had to move out again on short notice, risking homelessness. Currently she is staying with some of our friends, but she still needs to be able to support herself in her transition. She has secured a full tuition scholarship to law school starting this next academic school year, but needs funding for her transition, housing and other costs in the meantime while she is trying to find a job to support herself. If you have the capacity to donate, please do, or share this with other people. Thank you everyone ❤ GoFundMe: gofundme.com/transgenderemergencyfund Venmo: @monroeyeung

Fire 'devastates' 17th Century pub
Sadness. This pub is in the area where my family live in Northern England. Been there a few times over the years.

A new study finds Americans take the pain of girls less seriously than that of boys
Many friends know I have fibromyalgia, most likely the result of PTSD. I had unexplained pain for YEARS, and my doctor (who is also female) telling me if I just lost weight I’d be fine. It took changing doctors after my PTSD diagnosis (by a different department) to finally get the help I needed. Meds and exercise and understanding go a long way toward feeling somewhat better. Not being believed sucks.

There Is No Teacher Shortage
“There is no teacher shortage. There's a shortage of willingness to invest the profession with respect and support. There's a shortage of willingness to make the jobs appealing enough to attract and retain all the people schools want to attract and retain. There's a shortage of will to make the job appealing enough to hold onto the people who start out. There's a shortage, not just of money, but of respect and support and empowerment.”

Power of Positivity
My son spent only eight days in the NICU, but those were the longest eight days of my life. Everything inside me needed him to come home with us, but he couldn’t. I know how much parents of babies in the NICU need to know their children are being loved when they can’t be there to do it themselves.
