I want to say one more thing about my thread this morning. Plans don't mean you have to have a big nest egg, a escape plan etc. You need to think about how to be in community, to think about mutual aid, to think about your circle and how you can help each other. Now, not later.Things are moving FAST

How Being Silently Pissed-Off is Fueling Autoimmune Disorders in Women of Color Emotional suppression is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in the prevalence of autoimmune disorders among women of color.

“Specifically, it seems that the very virtues our culture rewards in women-agreeability, extreme selflessness, and suppression of anger-may predispose us to chronic illness and disease.”
