“I choo-choo-choose you!”: Chosen families and... →
“Chosen family has radicalized my being to the core. Moving from an assimilationist mindset of LGBTQ activism to a Queer concept of rejecting heterosexism, homo/transphobia, and gender norms, has not only changed me as an activist, but it has changed how I love.” Chosen families as self-care! Love it!

How To Say No: The “B” side to Self-Care →
It took me years to unlearn the habit of saying yes automatically when someone asked me for (or to do) something.  So often had that single syllable fallen from my tongue that I would often agree to things before people even asked.  In time I realized that I had spoiled the people around me to the point that they assumed I owed them a response of agreement, no matter how inconvenient and...
