Noirbnb….like Airbnb, minus the racism.

Black people inspire me everyday, the world gives us shit and we take it and turn it in to something beautiful.

It’s hard to face the fact that sometimes we can’t let overthinking control us. All it leads to is paranoia, fear, stress and sometimes saying things we don’t truly mean. I’ve had to face this when I realized I can’t trust everyone with all my feelings. I know I can’t control my overthinking but I can set myself straight. It’s not easy and some people won’t be able to do it so confide. Face the thoughts and tell them no. Im going to start journaling so I don’t overload my emotions during these difficult time but I hope this works.

Focus on happy 🙃.

one very important advice i want to give you is to stop suppressing your emotions. this will literally kill you, i’ve experienced it myself to the point where it got so bad that my body reacted with physical pain. and by letting out your emotions i don’t mean crying on public transport (even though this is also valid!) but don’t say it’s fine when it’s not. everyone is telling us to be positive and to not get upset over little things but if little things upset you please be upset. because the goal is not to SAY that everything is fine but to BE at a state where everything is fine which you can only achieve by letting out what needs to get out.

I’m finding it difficult to not blame myself for everything in existence that goes wrong. I know I can’t do that but everything is upside down.

I hear y’all out there. This quarantine is a terrifying thing. Don’t let it tear down the work you’ve done in your life! You can still move forward even though everything is moving backwards.

I was told today that I’m admired because I don’t settle. Why would I? I know my worth. I’m not giving away a dimond for the price of gold. :) I’m loving myself and I’ll only be with someone who can love and support me like I do.

Trump will deliver killing blow to the USPS

The USPS is about to declare bankruptcy. It’s at the center of the longstanding plans for disaster recover and has been since the Cold War. It’s the only institution that could (for example) deliver covid meds to every home in America in one day.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/03/25/national-emergency-library/#going-postal

But Congress has decided not to bail out the postal service, despite Art 1, Sec 8 of the US Constitution: “To establish Post Offices and post Roads.”

Maybe it’s because without a USPS we couldn’t have a postal vote in 2020?

https://pluralistic.net/2020/03/27/just-asking-questions/#save-usps

The proximate cause of the post office’s bankruptcy is the pandemic, but that is merely the finishing blow. The USPS was murdered in 2006, when Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act.

https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2020/04/will-the-united-states-post-office-become-a-victim-of-covid19.html

The Act gave the USPS a mere 10 years to “prefund its future health care benefit payments to retirees for the next 75 years.” That is, to set aside cash to pay medical bills for future employees who hadn’t been born yet.

The USPS’s murder is straight out of the neoliberal playbook: “1 Defund, 2 claim crisis, 3 call for privatizatization, 4 profit!”

As Lambert Strether points out, it was a bipartisan act of murder, cosponored by the “centrist” Democrat Henry Waxman.

Killing the USPS looms large in the Trump admin’s (nonmetaphorical, actual) privatization playbook, “Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century Reform Plan and Reorganization Recommendations”:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Government-Reform-and-Reorg-Plan.pdf

The proposals are for USPS to become a Wework clone or franchisee, but not to become a publicly owned bank - a common line of business for other nations’ postal services, natural based on the amounts of cash they handle.

The USPS is the nation’s second largest employer of veterans, with 630,000 employees. Trump is about to allow it to collapse so that UPS, Fedex and other private firms can skim off the most profitable parts of its business and leave rural Americans totally isolated.

The loss of the USPS would mean the loss of the last truly universal federal program in America and would unduly hammer the people whom Trump claims to love – veterans and rural voters.

I thought it was a great message

Feel free to messages me!

This is a reminder to drink more water! Including myself!

So honestly Anna’s song in Frozen 2 got me in tears. Sometimes everything crumbles around us and you can’t do it anymore. Sometimes the future is too stressful to think about so just stop, breath and focus on your next step. Your next right thing.

I made a group chat too! Wanna join? It’s called I need Friends.

[tryingtoglow-up]

Today we are working towards not waiting for other people. I’m going to go on with my life and hopefully I end up somewhere good! But I’m not a lapdog that waits until you are ready to have me in your life.

I made a group chat too, it’s called I need friends, why not join it?

[tryingtoglow-up]

I realized my favorite thing to hear is “I want you”

It doesn’t have to be romantic but as an example

“I want you to join us tomorrow for lunch”

“I want you to come with me while I run this errand”

None of that “if you want” stuff! Let me know you want me there so I don’t feel like a BURDEN!

[tryingtoglow-up]

I’ve tried this new thing where, whenever I start jumping to conclusions I ask the person if what I’m feelings is true. It’s saved me a lot of dread that I was created all on my own. It took a few weeks to get it right but I’m trying to not let my low self esteem trip up my progression!

Don’t forget I have a group chat! It’s called I-Need-Friends! Please join to support each other!

[tryingtoglow-up]

So I made a group chat, it’s called I need friends.

Please spread the word!

[tryingtoglow-up]

So today I kinda started feeling bad again and everything was draining my energy. I decided to take a step back and breath. I looked at myself, my situation, and my emotions. Then I smiled, because I wouldn’t let this defeat me.

[tryingtoglow-up]

I’m going to make this about my journey of self confidence too. I hope everyone gets something out of this.

I recently went through a break up that set me back years. I feel small and fragile and I’m not waiting for someone to come around and push me over. I’ll need support from myself and that’s difficult.

Join me through this?

-Thanks <3
