🏳️‍🌈 “I believe that we must work WITH our community members to solve problems rather than without them or worse – against them,” she wrote on her campaign site. “But all too often, what we have seen is a lack of focus, a lack of drive, and most notably, a lack of presence regarding our elected community leaders.”

It's safe to say most of us know people who are struggling. Especially true empaths.
The su***de rates in 2020 are staggering.
This time is especially hard for people with mental illness.

You are valid.
You are loved.

A note about Pronouns: "They" is nothing new.

"Did you know that prior to 1745 there was an accepted and commonly used universal pronoun?

The person who changed all that was Anne Fisher, an 18th-century British schoolmistress and the first woman to write an English grammar book. In 1745 Anne wrote the hugely popular "A New Grammar" in which she decreed that the pronoun "he" should apply to both sexes.

For centuries before that, the universal pronoun had been "they". Writers as far back as Chaucer used it for masculine and feminine, singular and plural.

So did Byron, Austen, Thackery, Eliot, Dickens, Trollope, and more."
