I usually create a thread of options for people who would like to donate to a Native cause or struggle, but it has gotten HARDER to fundraise on socials over the past couple of years, so I am zeroing in on one ask this year. Pls support Native organizing infrastructure: nativeorganizing.org/donate/

Oh the usual: exploit a local cause (which for the sake of the cause I won't name cos I'm sure they're unaware of all that history) and have their "do-gooder" faces shared all over social media!

I'm a 41 year old woman (as of today!) so my social media is naturally filled with equal part ads for filler and fertility services...

I had no idea, I just thought: "it's nice that everytime I hear of Zohran Mamdani I'm reminded of Mahmood Mamdani, cos I love his work." πŸ˜… A quick google would hve sorted that out though

Trans People Deserve Better "Gender critical" feminism doesn't help women but it does help the far right

This piece was greenlit and then killed by a British newspaper, so I’ve decided to publish myself instead.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.

Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Judging by the guy next to me on my early morning Ryanair flight, some straight men still haven't got the memo about manspreading πŸ™„

So sad to hear of Alice Wong's passing, like many people her words and actions transformed my thinking on disability, pleasure & so much more. I had the wonderful experience early this year of having her as an editor. She will be sorely missed but her star will keep shining through her writing πŸ’œ
