Stay Lifted Sis, Is Looking for Black, Brown, and Indigenous Guests

Hi My name is Devon J Hall and SLS used to mean something disgusting and demeaning to women. But now it means “Stay Lifted Sis,” a weekly reminder to stay lifted, to remain calm, and yes if you absolutely need to, to scream until you can’t breathe. Whatever. We’re pretty loose here, but we’re looking…
How Can You Miss Something You Thought You’d Hate?

I miss going to the gym, I miss working out, and I miss feeling the tiredness in my bones from a decent workout. I never, ever, thought, I would be the kind of person who loves physical activity because I was never good in the gym as a child. I was high ADHD, and I…
It’s Not Over

Nope, sorry, this is your reminder that it’s not time to give up. I know it’s hard, I know it fucking sucks, and I know you probably might maybe want to scream until you lose your voice. So do it. What’s stopping you?! Is it crazier to scream and let it out? Or nuttier to…
“Let Them Think You’re Crazy”

The last time I was gang raped – as opposed to all the times before – I heard these words in my head, CLEAR as fucking day. As if someone was giving me advice on the worst night of my life. So I did. I started by reminding them that this gang rape shit had…
I Do Believe…

I do believe that every person on this planet, needs some kind of spirituality, that grounds them when things get tough. I don’t believe that it’s my place to tell other people what to believe. That being said, I am going to share what I believe, and you can take what works for you and…
Make A Decision That Will Change Your Life…If You Can

If you are struggling with mental health issues, one of the things that I now realize helped me to get better, was deciding that I was and am going to get better. I know that sounds simple, but it’s really not. You have to decide, every single day, that you are going to make today…
If I Could Have, I Probably Would Have…Maybe

Several years ago I was asked if I wanted help building this website and turning it into something really massive. At the time I just wanted to do it myself. I especially didn’t want the help of a white man who didn’t, couldn’t, and would never, understand the struggles of a biracial Black person. 8…
Why Keep Bringing Up The Past? And “No Matter What, You’re Still A Rat…”

In the story of Persephone, she keeps looking back and ends up becoming a Goddess of Hell who can’t escape the trauma of being in Hell, and thus is forever regulated to trying to leave but never being able to. That’s probably because – and this is just a guess – no one ever asked…
Who The Fuck Gave You The God Damned Audacity?

Let me make this perfectly clear, no one “Gave me” the audacity to decide I deserve to be happy. I decided to take it because I am tired of wishing I had more, or was more. I am who I am, and as I develop I am finding parts of myself that I forgot existed.…
You’re Doing Everything You Can…Right?

The more that I talk about what’s happened to me, outside of the digital world, the more that I am feeling…triggered, by my own thoughts and actions. I’m still not drinking, which I am very proud of, but I am starting to recognize, that the reason I am not drinking, is because drinking brought out…
Well That Was Fun

Last night I went on TikTok live with my friend and neighbor That Bad Axe, and when it was over and I came upstairs again, I couldn’t go to sleep right away. I kept dreaming of being raped, I kept dreaming of my abusers, and it sent me into a tailspin that made me remember…
“No One Wants You Here…”

This is the lie that bullies, and abusers, tell people so that they can justify their actions. I’ve decided that I no longer believe the lie that people don’t want me here. Namely because many of you have told me that I am a part of YOUR healing journey now. That means the world to…
