How am I feeling? It's summed up in this conversation with @madhupai.bsky.social: "I think hope is the correct response to the miracle of human consciousness. I am concerned (and discouraged) in the face of our historical moment. But I refuse to respond with despair."

FareStart We help people overcoming barriers to employment gain job and life skills while feeding our community. It starts with food but grows from there into career pathways that provide stability and economic...

I love that food is a team sport that can change lives. If you can support kitchens that train homeless people or previously incarcerated people, I highly recommend it. The food nourishes you and your community. ♥️

As @ciantormey.bsky.social and @tomtaylormade.bsky.social, remind us, even this embodiment of evil chaos has limits. One of them being bigotry and another being does not f*ck with nazi sh*t. We live in a society, indeed.

Thank you! The beans really do all the work 😇

Stress baking is back, so that’s fun for me…

Seconding Intelligentsia! ☕️ And if you’re looking for baked goods to go with, Sweet Mandy B’s (in Lincoln Park) has cupcakes that haunt my dreams while Hendrickx Belgian Bread (near WaterTower Place) has less typical, very delicious treats. Hope you have so much fun!!!

You are going to be significantly better off if you find your people and then take them with you into real life. I like the idea of a digital town square, but that’s wildly optimistic at this moment. And a town square is beautiful and precious, but it is not a home.

understand the hypocrisy of posting this, but reminder to please not invest your sense of self, sense of community, or sense of achievement in online platforms or online forums. I know how helpful they’ve been to marginalized people, but honestly, I think they have more in common with online dating.

Ferguson creates WA rapid response team to prep for mass deportations The team intends to help kids whose parents are deported, especially in situations like if a parent is taken into custody while a child is in school.

It means ripping families apart. It means kids losing their parents. It means businesses losing their workers. It means communities being significantly altered.

Therapists’ too, unfortunately

I can't recall a single point in my life where I've been scared of a trans person.

Unfortunately, I can think of many, many times that I've been scared FOR trans people.
