#Repost @vent_diagrams (@get_repost) ・・・ this next #repost mini-series is made by @joeybirrd about some of the particular heartbreaks of working for a non-profit: @joeybirrd writes "Government funding requires us to compromise our values // government funding ‘legitimizes’ our work as a public good. #ventdiagrams #heartache 💵💵💵” *** check out her page for the entire beautiful series of ten vents that she posted in August.*** . . Earlier this year, @joeybirrd wrote to us and said: "Wow, this year has been such a whirlwind. I have very recently decided to walk away from 2 non-profit orgs that have been central to my politicization, my identity development, and my journey as an activist and facilitator. Vent Diagrams have been there the whole time. ⠀ ⠀ Creating Vents helped me to process the nuances and dualities I was seeing in my struggle to be the perfect manager, the perfect white person, the perfect steward of a mission and vision... all while working within a system that encouraged the opposite. Vents allowed me to hold both deep commitment to the work and deep compassion for myself - both of which I found hard to hang on to through a tough year. ⠀ ⠀ I hope you enjoy these vents about being heartbroken... and so in love... with non-profit work." ⠀ ⠀ thank you, Joey 💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1fhijBVpverC9kSXhiGD-S6jHGgFkmiLj6PQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qh861ogpgt87
