Platonic Valentines are the best Valentines. The little things just bring all the Squuees . Life is short. Treat your friends like lovers because they are.

Post mid life joys . Transition looks good on me

The best Valentine's gift we can possibly give one another is resources and support outside of the system that suppresses us. You are not alone and deserve non- treating support

During this time of fascism, please commit these numbers to your phones and memory. We don't need police to show up right now when we are at our worst times. We can't use a system that is oppressing and hurting us even more 💜

Let's not even give her THAT honor

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Post a bird to support @sbworkersunited.org and warn your followers not to buy Starbucks for the duration of the ULP strike.

While workers in 40+ cities began their ULP strike today, union baristas are also holding Red Cup Rallies in 17 cities!

Here's a glimpse from Pittsburgh, where Starbucks customers are demanding the company stop union-busting and finalize fair contracts! #NoContractNoCoffee

Today, Starbucks workers in 40+ cities began a historic ULP strike. But we’re NOT finished.

We're prepared to escalate with more stores striking if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing, and the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

It’s almost time. nocontractnocoffee.org

Outsider I take comfort in
Out of survival

That which Tainted -I didn't lose
Though saved myself

A new life- the world open
The pain comes now only in the silence

Community hushed blinded by pretty bombs

I -A target easy at first glance
The genuine see- and there I find home-one day at a time

welcome, friend!

Tell that to all the people they murdered

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

Self Portrait: Moving Past The Shadows

Delighting in silhouettes of the past

What has made me

Declared Me

Picking up the pieces that
Stifled

Pieces that cut and gave me pause

Dancing on - Self unwavering
Silhouettes appreciated

The day in new

Woot!!

I love this analogy🫰

"Self Portrait": How Uneasy Yet Peaceful it is To be Green

Breaking patterns and back to my roots -now grey in parts. It's a joy along with sadness. Fresh starts and acknowledged dirty parts.

Owning
Dismantling and putting back- together

Back to woods resembling my roots, I find myself green..

...
Take backsies- But...No

I hope when they see you, it is the real you and the real you isn't this

"I Don't Want Them To See You"
I don't want them to see you
But I want understanding
For all not to feel alone

I want us each to soar again
You,too-You,too

Yet the realities questioned
The tearing apart of my value
The Twisting
The cutting
I have to let them see you
By happenstance-as I heal
