@kimberlyhirsh Thank you for writing this. I’m a 💯 percent with you on the need for occasionally “grumping it out”. I’m amazed that you were able to stick with your appointments, I’d have a hard time doing that on such an event. That speaks of commitment and self sacrifice. I don’t know how common grumping it out is, but I expect it to be more common than we know. I’ve had many people trying to guide me into “meaningful activities” and self-help test-extroversion, but I know deep down that sometimes (more often than not) it’s only grumping it out that fixes me to become ok again. 🥴😮‍💨😌

@odd I didn’t write the original post - that was Dr. Katy Peplin, and I’m impressed she could show up for her clients, too. Glad it was a helpful read!

@kimberlyhirsh That sounds like my day, too. It’s a “give myself permission to do nothing” afternoon, because even the leisure things are feeling too much. Nothing deep or grand bothering me, though, fortunately

@verumsolum Yeah, there’s not anything really new bothering me. It’s just a combo of lack of sleep and superactive hormones, I think.

I acknowledge that I live and work on unceded Lumbee, Skaruhreh/Tuscarora, Cheraw, Catawba, Saponi, Occaneechi, and Shakori land. I give respect and reverence to those who came before me. I thank Holisticism for the text of this land acknowledgement.

We must acknowledge that much of what we know of this country today, including its culture, economic growth, and development throughout history and across time, has been made possible by the labor of enslaved Africans and their ascendants who suffered the horror of the transatlantic trafficking of their people, chattel slavery, and Jim Crow. We are indebted to their labor and their sacrifice, and we must acknowledge the tremors of that violence throughout the generations and the resulting impact that can still be felt and witnessed today. I thank Dr. Terah ‘TJ’ Stewart for the text of this labor acknowledgement.
