some peeps are aware b/c i've seen a post or two.

if you don't know, our peeps in the north west territories are being evacuated. they are pretty far north so there's not a lot of quick places for them to evacuate to & be provided w/ services. it either means a very long drive or a flight out.

the wild fires are raging & there's a lot of scared anxious peeps rn. please send your bestest thoughts & if you have a deity you pray to, your prayers, for these communities.🙏🏾

Say it with me:

"My needs are valid. They are not embellished, nor are they trivial. I deserve the grace I extend, too."

Okay, back at it.
