Welcome to Litsy!

Was hoping I might be able to use this for some of the teens I work with but it‘s too “much” for adolescent community mental health. Kate Bornstein is straight up truth.

It's cool that this has a Jewish superhero, apparently a first for DC, but the story was just a big mess. 😞

“On October 3rd,
he asked me what day it was —
It‘s October 3rd.” 🤭

Reading this was hard since I just recently lost my dad.. BUT it drew me in right from the get go and I think that loosing my dad was part of the reason why. I felt the grief and anger Sidney felt-although for different reasons. When it got to the secrets of June, it hit home as well because I‘ve been there and so many loved ones have been as well. #abuse #death #manipulation #gaslight #LGBTQ+ #teens #love #loss #friends #family

Taking some liberties with the syllable pattern today.

Today's compliment:
"I'm not embarrassed by
anything you wear, Mom."

High praise from my almost-16-year-old.

With the latest in scientific research, Dan Siegel illustrates how we can best connect and nurture our relationship with our teens by understanding It‘s not “raging hormones” so much as it is the profound changes that take place in the brain during this period in their lives.

Listening to Go Ask Alice while I work on this artsy puzzle. I found a woman reading this book on YouTube. I was a little worried at first since the narrator seemed to be untrained, which is totally fine, but it held my attention the whole way through. While her tone was a little monotone, she was consistent and read solidly throughout the novel. This book is wild, and there is so much controversy behind it!
