“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” ❤️ I’ve always loved this quote, and today, when meanness has become normalized— by politicians who gratify the worst in us and keyboard cowards who tap out spiteful comments in the anonymous glow of their computer screens—it’s even more critical. ❤️ Being kind doesn’t mean being a doormat, and although it’s tempting to seek revenge, (I’ve imagined all sorts of unkind scenarios to befall my bullies) revenge only perpetuates the cycle. Instead, we can stay curious and open hearted, but if the bully continues their harmful behavior, we need to walk away. 🍁 I don’t hesitate to block a follower who writes a cruel or toxic comment. 🦋 While it’s painful to be bullied, we have choices. We can sit with our feelings, talk about how we feel with a trusted friend, or do something active like taking a walk in nature to give us perspective. Depending on the circumstances, we can also confront the bully (obviously, taking safety into consideration) 🌺 In the end, feelings are just feelings, and we have the power to transform them. ❤️ Although being kind won’t necessarily change a situation, it will change you. And it will always make the world a better place.  ##grief #laughter #griefcare #deathcare #anxietyproblems #griefanniversary #deathdoula #queercare #queerdoula #griefandjoy #griefandlove #griefandloss #griefandlosssupport #grief #griefawareness #griefandloss #grieving #griefsupport #griefquote #goodmourning #griefconfessions #goodgrief #kindness #beingkind
Most common questions we hear: Why is this helpful? When is it too late?

Sending you gentleness, warmth, and care. If you’re experiencing joy, beauty - there’s always room for that here! But you’re not alone if you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, disheveled. Appreciating the heartfelt calls to action + takes on here, including fellow yoga teachers talking about the somatic nervous system aspect of all this, which parallels where I’ve been at… so here’s another lil offering. My 🫀,mind, text threads, feeds have been full calls to action, (excellent ones at @jewishvoiceforpeace) rage, and grief about Palestine. Such violence inflames humanity’s inheritance of unprocessed trauma. When our nervous systems are activated, there’s not much space for discernment, nuance, understanding. Tender prayers to Palestinian friends, Jewish friends, and all of us. It’s also eclipse season so our personal shadow material is being dredged up. Personally between Covid recovery, trans stuff, deep inner work around self worth, boundaries, and belonging, plus the world ... wheeew. It’s a lot. Good thing we are incredibly strong, in our tenderness! I’m grateful for everyone who’s been in practicing with me, for shared space to tend to our hearts, relate, recenter. One of the most powerful things about having a yoga practice is that when big collective heartbreaking moments hit, we have a reliable anchor to hold onto. Not as a bypass, but a way to feel, process it. Integrate, regulate. From there, we can respond with greater skill and honesty. We can take effective action that is clear, loving, decisive. We can become a source of support to others, and discern when we need support. I want that for us. The last 2 Restorative Yoga classes I taught were especially soothing, loving. If you need some help to relax, regulate, and release, all month these 2 healing On Demand Restorative Sessions are FREE 🧡 My community care gift to you. Can’t do the whole class? Just do the last 20 or 30 minutes. Several folks have been sharing how these classes have been helping them. Let me know what you think!

👋🏽 Hi! Anna (she/they) here. Some of you may know me as the Director of Cornerstone Canada, others may know me as that loud femme behind Pocket Doula who keeps shouting about queer reproductive politics on the internet 😉 ❤️‍🔥 We’ve been seeing a lot of new faces here and I think it’s a good time to remind everyone that here at Cornerstone, everything we do in the name of birthwork is rooted in radical activism and political carework. ✊🏽 I deeply believe that one can’t exist without the other. All parts of reproductive care is imbued in systems, policies, and complexes that we need to actively dismantle. But, we can’t do that alone. 💬 When I talk about birthwork, I’m never just talking about birth, postpartum, and fertility. Though, yes - it’s a part of it. When I talk about birthwork, I want to explore how you and I can co-create spaces together where our kin can thrive. I want to know how best I can support you in disrupting colonial spaces that hinder our liberation. I want you to know how best you can support me in protecting the braver spaces I am cultivating for my community. 

🗣️ Birthwork is more than just pushing positions and postpartum recipes (though again, yes, it’s a part of it), it’s learning how to be in community with each other as radically as we possibly can and wanting what’s best for each other as we do for ourselves. ✅ Come and be in community with me! I’ll be leading Capstone Canada: Full Spectrum Birthwork starting September 17th. Let’s share space and learn how to be co-conspirators together 💛 

🔗 in bio to sign up, friends! See you in class this fall 🍂

🌈 Being part of the LGBTQ+ community means we got each other - for real! Sometimes all it takes is a quick “you good?” to remind someone they’re not alone. A lot of us don’t have support outside the community, so every message, every check-in, every kind word counts. 💛 And please please please respect people’s pronouns. It’s not “just a slip-up.” Misgendering can really hurt. Let’s be gentle with each other. Let’s be better for each other. 📞 If you or someone you love needs someone to talk to - Call or WhatsApp the Equality JA Helpline at 876-399-4357. We’re here. We care. You matter. #WeGotEachOther #LGBTQSupport #RespectPronouns #ChosenFamilyVibes #EqualityJA #QueerCare #CheckOnYourPeople #YouAreNotAlone #PrideEveryday #SafeSpacesMatter #HoldEachOtherUp
Twee jaar geleden werd het online platform Queercare gelanceerd. Dit is het online zorgloket van COC Limburg waar getrainde chatvrijwilligers onder supervisie van professionals gesprekken kunnen hebben met iedereen uit de regenbooggemeenschap met vragen of problemen in de breedste zin van het woord. Na twee jaar werd het echter tijd voor een uitbreiding van het zorgloket. Nu alle coronamaatregelen voorbij zijn en er toch steeds meer behoefte is aan intermenselijk contact is de start van een live loket dan ook de volgende stap. Op woensdag 13 september is het zorgloket dan ook voor het eerst live gegaan in Maastricht.

NASTURTIUM VINEGAR 🏵️ Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), also known as indian cress, makes for such an easy going plant to use in recipes! We decorate every dish possible with it, which instantly makes it look ten times better 😂 They are super tasty (leaves and flowers), kind of peppery like rocket 🌿 AND are full of vitamin C, so great to support our immune system. Also they carry anti-inflammitory, anti bacterial and even antibiotic properties. This vinegar recipe is just too easy not to try, and it makes a really tasty, tangy and beautiful orange vinegar that you can use as a fancy salad dressing. Top the salad with some of the raw flowers and leaves and you have yourself one pretty dish 🌝 For this recipe, all you need to do is: 🏵️ Pick or buy a small bag full of nasturtiums (just the flowers) 🏵️ Add to a clean jar or bottle 🏵️ Cover with white wine vinegar 🏵️ Shake 🏵️ Leave for 2-3 weeks (give it a shake every day or so, so there wont be chance for it to get mouldy) 🏵️ Strain and poor into a new clean bottle Thats it 💛🏵️🧚 🏵️ Like, share and save this recipe for later 🏵️ #nasturtium #recipes #vinegar #herbalmedicine #herbalism #herbalfoods #queercare #herbalcare
