In 2026 [in cis het presenting relationships] women are still doing the majority of the emotional and domestic labor in the home. They carry the mental load. Even when both partners have full-time jobs. Even when she is the primary income earner. So they’re depressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, and burnt out. And many eventually get so resentful and tired they leave.

There are many layers to this. One may be some women need help building skills communicating their feelings and needs. Another is that male partners are simply not showing up for their partners and either lacking awareness, not caring, or having an expectation that this is how it should be. But because this is so pervasive among so many couples, we also a know a significant layer is that this a cultural and systemic patriarchy shaping gender roles and it continues to oppress women and crushes our mental health.

I remember first learning about Gloria Steinem as a teenager when I first exploring feminism. I thought she was the coolest. Photos of her with her long hair, aviators, being outspoken about women’s rights, and being child free by choice- I mean, iconic for my teenage self 💅 and in many ways she genuinely was.

And along the way my eyes were also opened to the harm she has done. Making statements and writings claiming that (paraphrasing here) sexism is more prevalent or worse than racism, that working for the CIA and describing it as a nonviolent and feminist agency… yikes 😬

So I’m practicing my dialectics here. It’s all true, and I can hold it all at the same time. She contained multitudes. She was a force of nature and that force led to real good and at times real bad. She was a trailblazer and certainly had her blind spots and biases.

The assessment process is already so complicated and stressful, and while yes, we do need evidence that symptoms have been present since childhood, one of my biggest grievances in the industry is it must come from other sources besides the client themselves. Sure, the more evidence the better as that gives us a more clear picture but that’s not always a viable, safe, or affirming option for many when self-report can still be a perfectly valid source of evidence. The lack of collateral data sources should not be a gatekeeper from seeking a necessary service or a diagnosis that could help them receive accommodations, treatment, self-awareness, etc.

Anti-fat bias and weight stigma is a social justice issue. Period. And I love the way Michelle Buteau talks about it in this NPR interview with class, sass, and humor! She has lived her values, shown up authentically, in the body she has, despite being told to take up less space.

Opting out of diet culture is absolutely an option! Happy Fat Liberation Month!

Food has felt so hard lately. Not because I’ve been having ED urges, thankfully, I am fully recovered. I am in Autistic burnout and have been for months, maybe even over a year now. I have no energy or interest in meal planning, prepping or even eating- it all feels so overwhelming. So I’ve been going for meals that feel almost embarrassingly simple and eating them on repeat so I don’t have to plan.

These meals would give diet/wellness culture a panic attack, but I know they are nourishing and feeding myself regularly is the most important thing.

Being long recovered from my ED, I know the importance of eating adequately and regularly. I’m also neurodivergent, which makes eating regularly difficult due would executive functioning, burnout, and related challenges. One hack that has been SO HELPFUL during my workday is keep snacks stored in my office. But now it’s time to restock and I’m looking for new ideas! Give me your favorite shelf stable snacks in the comments!

Women are exhausted and have been shaped to do all and not to expect or assert their need for equitable contribution from their male partners because they will be perceived as “nagging.” This is a patriarchal, sexist term to make women seem like they are unreasonable, too emotional and asking for too much. Yet the data still shows that women are still doing the majority of mental, emotional, and physical labor at home even when they also are balancing work and/or school and other responsibilities outside the home.

One reason i went so long without being diagnosed as ADHD in particular is I’ve generally been pretty intuitive and skillful at building systems and knowing what “works” for me. No one ever flagged me as inattentive, because I figured out early on that having gentle background noise helps me dial in so I can work (I’m not functional in complete silence!), for example.

This may not be the case for everyone! Some might prefer silence over noise to be productive. The key is knowing your own brain and nervous system so you can live a more effective, fulfilling and joyful life.

The shame and self-blame in trauma recovery is brutal. It’s also pretty universal. I’ve never worked with a survivor who didn’t say some iteration of what evanrachelwood speaking to here. AND it is possible to work through it.
