I absolutely LOVE the spirit of the image Amy Kearney shared below - but I question the tactics... specifically on social media. When we try to "shut down" conversations that we feel are "hating on" other people, it amplifies the negativity by extending the reach & visibility. For example - I saw multiple "flame fests" this week around an image of a "republican" attendee at the presidential inauguration in the US who was accused of a nasty gesture associated with nazis. Many of the comments included similar images of well known "democrat" people doing what appeared to be that exact same gesture. So - in effect - translating whether or not there was some nefarious meaning or intent was pretty much completely based on opinions, primarily formed before any of the images were shared. Participants in those posts on BOTH sides of the topic did not seem to be growing, healing, learning, or making any positive movement. In fact, despite what I feel sure was positive intent - all I saw was divisiveness & hate. Allyship for marginalized people - in MY opinion - includes action, not just tactic support. In person, that should absolutely extend to intervention when we're exposed to poor behavior. But online? Not so much... For me, some of THE most powerful words from Martin Luther King Jr. was when he said, "Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that".

I reflect not just on the "difficult" times, but on the immense resilience it has taken to still be here, trying. Despite everything, I am proud of myself for continuing to fight for my place in society.One of the hardest realities I face is the fact that I remain completely unemployed. I worked hard, aspired,& deserved for this situation to have transformed by now. Yet, systemic barriers & deeply ingrained injustices have kept me from achieving the opportunities I longed for.This year has been marked by profound challenges:Exclusion and institutional abuse that undermined my potential.Racism, lookism, and discrimination that have tarnished my experiences.Wrongful detainment and medical neglect that violated my basic rights.Defamation and betrayal from those I once trusted.Living with chronic illness has only added to these struggles, further highlighting the need for a society that sees and supports its most vulnerable. To all those who have felt unseen, betrayed, or pushed aside: your strength & yoour story matters. Let us continue advocating for justice, inclusion, & humanity in 2025. #Exclusion #InstitutionalAbuse #VulnerableAdult #Jobseeker #ViolationInHigherEducation #Betrayal #Racism #Lookism #Discrimination #WrongfulDetainment #ChronicIllness #Defamation #MedicalNeglect #Unemployment?

Of course

How about you? Are you celebrating that you made it despite its challenges? And, if not, why not, magnificent one? YOU MADE IT! ?? ?? ?? #midlifewomen #midlife #rediscoveredlife #transformation #downanddirtyspirituality #coaching #psychotherapy

Heh. It's hard not to appreciate this level of petty. Especially seeing as how anyone reading this knows exactly how that would play out if they had spoken up and solved the issue, saving the company those millions. They'd get a $25 gift card to some local coffee shop (would be Timmy's up here) and a hearty 'Good job!" And it would end there. Yep, that $25 gift card would sure help me put some more food in my fridge, or help me pay ALL of my utility bills instead of playing the monthly "Who Gets Paid This Month" game, or keep my aged vehicle safely on the road, or to cover that shiny new rent hike or mortgage increase... Meanwhile, I just saved the company $18M, so now I get to sit back and enjoy an announcement in the next quarterly internal newsletter informing us all that due to "cost savings initiatives" and "stellar leadership last quarter", the execs will be giving themselves raises AND a $250K bonus. Good job, gang! Yes, we ALL know exactly how that would play out. I've been a participant in this game as well. Too many times in fact, but one that sprung to my mind was when I spotted an inconsistency in a thing and reported it, with my findings, to my supervisor only to be told, "Yeah this isn't what you think it is. Nothing to see here." Only to have it all blow up just a week or so later, and an all-hands-on-deck situation happened...as I suspected it would...and I was the FIRST person to point out that I already covered this more than a week ago (you know - BEFORE it was a full blown issue) and here's all my findings again, you know in case you misplaced the copy I provided to you previously...and I've nothing more to say about it. The way I see it - my level of interest in your company and how I can save it money, is equal to the amount of interest you show me in paying me suitably for those value-adds I can provide.

Small steps make difference
