While @RepBeatty jets off to whine about renaming a swanky DC arts center after Trump, her OH-3 folks in Columbus are drowning in skyrocketing rents (over 50k families paying half their income on housing!) and overflowing shelters. Instead of this ego-fueled farce, how about pushing federal bucks for 100k new affordable units via HUD grants or backing workforce bills to fill those 8k job openings in healthcare? Priorities, Joyce—fix home, not fancy plaques! #OH3Fail #RealNeeds

“Don’t give people what you think is good. Give them what they actually need.” This line comes from a very painful lived experience. I grew up in a violent household. My mother’s emotions were like an unexploded bomb— abuse, control, financial coercion, on repeat. From a very young age, I was pushed to deliver results: grades, KPIs, achievements. Whether I was happy never mattered. In elementary school, teachers would call— they sounded concerned, but when they saw my grades, every adult chose to side with my mother. “She’s doing this for your own good.” “The pain now is for your future.” I was locked at home to practice piano, stripped of freedom. If I didn’t perform well enough, the punishment continued. It was a deeply unhealthy way to grow up. Every day meant enduring physical and psychological pain. If someone had asked a different question back then— “How do you guide instead of control?” “How do you communicate so a person can truly feel passion from within?” Instead of using fear, humiliation, and violence to force outcomes— maybe I wouldn’t have lost my way with music halfway through. That’s why, when I design my online courses, I don’t only care about market knowledge. I keep asking myself: •Can people actually keep learning after they buy it? •Is the process engaging? •Do they gain a new way of seeing things—something real they can take away? Because real needs are often not the ones people say out loud. In some way, this is me making up for the version of myself who was never treated gently, never allowed to be happy. #SakuraZaiKotoJuku #RealNeeds #TraumaToWisdom #LearningIsNotPunishment

A man doesn’t ask for much. He fights the world all day for peace so when he comes home, it shouldn’t feel like another battlefield. Give him peace, treat him with respect, and share intimacy with understanding. That’s not weakness… that’s what keeps a man strong. #RealNeeds

The #RealNeeds of #Survivors are pretty basic. The #RealSolution is #Decrim. Survivors don’t need your judgement, your threatening interventions or your dream boards. #SexWorkers and #TraffickingSurvivors need #RightNotRescue Tell your friends.

#realneeds #hugeimpact I, along with fellow Rotarians, ate at the @ReddeerFoodbank in recognition of great support from @RotaryRDEast for the new, amazing Community Kitchen. This is a game changer for #foodautonomy Incredible work serving so many in need #100yearsRotaryRedDeer

Terrance:). You can run 'stuff' by me any time. Just as FYI, this Hearing parent got degrees in order to gain insight to her own Deaf kids' #realNeeds (70s-80s), and I got a good Deaf ed/1st/2nd Language) foundation, ...EXCEPT one thing! They let me graduate with lousy ASL skills

Dear Christmas - let me list all #ThingsInMyHolidayStocking - as in: "TakingStock"/"Inventory" of my RealNeeds. Courage to walk to work, again, & Stamina to PushAgainst what pulls me away from PersonalHygiene practices. Depression haunts me, as a Hater would.
