It's the Day of Action for Access to Safe and Legal Abortion.

#Sept28 #SafeAbortionDay

Eating well. Hydrating. Resting. Lightening the load. Preparing for a new way.

Took a group photo earlier and told the person next to me that there is no way I was in that photo. Just saw the photo online. I am perfectly blocked by the person in front of me. 🤣 I must've really nailed my look today.

Waiting for luggage at 3am with a full day of meetings starting at 8.30am, starting two weeks of long, heavy meetings... A bit concerning. Lol. Everything is fiiiiiiiiine.

"Harmful systems always need good marketing. They need a good face[...] Good rhetoric, buzzwords, and one way is through using diversity[...] It makes it more palatable, it puts people's guard down, so they're not as critical."
-Dr. Ruha Benjamin

"Freedom dreaming, radical imagination, simply playing, are serious business[...] Today, one way to understand the steady uptake of AI and warfare is it upticks the gamification[...]"

A campaign I ran that people hated so much that they did exactly what I wanted them to do. It was subversive and beautiful.

I can never really tell. Oblivious to such things.

Pretty silly, actually.

Today's Connections is fun.

Ummm... One that comes to mind is Make Me Whole by Amel Larrieux, buuuuut I don't buy the half/whole thing.

If they agreed, they would take action to stop funding the genocide and ensure that aid is distributed to every person in Gaza.

You know what a lot of kids in Gaza have? Medical issues

Both pre and post genocide medical issues- first because people with disabilities just exist- but in Gaza a lot of people have their disabilities because of environmental violence where Israel has attacked their food and water supplies

A quilt. Each square by a different person in my life. A way to get different perspectives and put a piece in the world that has purpose, like I do.

I'm not into movies. When questions about movies come up, I get STUCK. Lol.

I go with intuition, but I usually click with people who are doing something to make the world better for people in situations of vulnerability.

I'm living a very different life from them. Opposites don't even really make sense in our context. I could say I won't work for one company for many years and I won't have children.

All things neoliberal.

You already know!

Men get criticized?
😂

I don't think I'd respond well to someone saying they want a deep conversation rather than having a conversation, however deep it gets.

When I let people know about it, I really get to see who is with me, who will show up for me, who wants me to be here.

Many things! I really enjoy learning. I'm currently take three classes, unrelated to any degree or certificate.

I'd really like to learn to play guitar. I start teaching myself years ago and it went really well. Now I move around to much to keep a guitar.

Rudeness to frontline customer service workers.

Pretty much anything that is intended to be a flex. Do it for you. Enjoy it. Let other people notice it when they notice it, or not at all. The exception is when provoked. If they act up, you MUST flex.

Worst flex? Anything that's a result of privilege.
