Fire was yesterday (Saturday morning), but yeah. Weird how little news coverage there has been, given it was a judge's house & she'd just ruled against the Trump regime.

There’s so much going on, there’s no way newsrooms and the public can keep up.

This is heavy.

Portland never stops being Portland.

We keep saying this until we’re blue in the face. And it’s especially exhausting now because folks at the center and on the left cannot acknowledge that they have now adopted and enacted what was far right behavior in 2020.

Massive pandemic failures and collective capitulation brought us here.

I just met with the artist that will be illustrating my book cover and I'm so damn excited 🖤

America, can we take a page out of the French resistance playbooks?

I will get back to writing shortly. But currently I'm being held hostage by a very cuddly, snorty, weighted blanket of dogs.

Onto the next — Alli Parrett And so, I am relieved. I now have time and space to build a life with my partner and dogs that is more in line with my values sooner than expected. What a privilege (genuinely and sarcastically). So ...

Some life updates - tldr
1. I left my corporate job
2. I am going to self publish my first novel
3. My partner and I are building up our pottery business

Alli Parrett, dog lover, writer, potter, and bitter bitch, holds three Frenchie-mix dogs. It's all ears and pettable bellies.

Just living my best dog mom life.

The 13th detained person has died in ICE custody since Trump took office. This is what happens when immigrant incarceration becomes a profit-making entity instead of ensuring people’s health and safety.

I cannot express how little I care that a billionaire pop artist is engaged. Please stop telling me about it.

The men selling their own children born of rape: that's what the Confederate flag stands for.

Wearing a mask is one of the easiest ways to ensure you are in solidarity with those most impacted by our authoritarian present. Taking action to prevent the spread of a deadly&disabling neuroinvasive vascular virus—among other airborne pathogens—as our institutions crumble is an antifascist choice.

Translation: we are rounding up disabled and chroniclly ill children.

3 dogs surrounded by plush toys from left to right. Islay, 11 - black, brindle, and white Frenchie / Boston mix. Zelda, 2 - gold Frenchie/ King Cavalier mix. Nova, 4months - grey and fawn Frenchie / King Cavalier mix.

I swear on my life I did not pose them like this. They just do cute shit like this all the time.

300,000 Black women have left the labor force in 3 months. It’s not a coincidence. For decades, the public sector has been a lifeline for Black women shut out of economic opportunity. It’s no surprise that Trump's federal downsizing targeted them first, explains gender economist Kat...

“This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of federal policy choices — most immediately, sweeping job cuts across public-sector agencies where Black women have long held the strongest foothold in middle-class employment.”

I think about my writing projects constantly, yet I haven't written a word in months. I feel guilty, sad, angry, frustrated, etc. anytime I have free time and do something other than write.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

The look on the friend's face 😂

I’m hearing a lot of despair and “what’s the point”-ing.

Here’s the point:

ONE less person kidnapped by ICE.

ONE more child vaccinated.

ONE grant reinstated.

ONE more PEPFAR treatment.

ONE more meal to a hungry kid.

ONE more person covered by Medicaid.

One life is ALWAYS worth resistance.

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care.

It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

Finally finished my side tattoo. I'm so thrilled and in love.

may every congressperson who voted for this bill never know peace

may they be disrupted every time they are in public

may they suffer the most extreme consequences that they have inflicted on their constituents

President Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, and now Mamdani and New York Democrats are responding.

I miss listening to @roxanegay.bsky.social and @tressiemcphd.bsky.social podcast together on Hear to Slay.

I would really love if we diverted some of the money spent on AI anything to research and healthcare for folks with uteruses. If 10% men had to deal with endometriosis, this shit would be cured. (And/or PCOS, PMDD, fibroids, etc). My body hurts and I am tired.

We live in a rogue and dangerous country.

Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.
