We have reached a crossroad.

Tomorrow (6/22) at 9:00am pst I will be in solemn prayer/invocation for peace on our beloved planet. I invite you to join, if even for a moment. Let’s join our hearts and spirits in dreaming/imagining a whole, thriving, interconnected web of life.

My heart to yours.

More scenes from the “big insurrection” in Los Angeles

Real talk.

Contributor: Why older Americans are Trump's biggest nightmare If you're over 60, you viscerally get the need for, say, the Clean Air Act, functioning Social Security and affordable dolls at Christmas.

Older Americans are organizing, voting, and raising hell. Don’t count us out.

Real talk.

I am pretty sure Kamala Harris would know the answer to the question if she needs to uphold the Constitution of the United States or not.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

Just sayin’

That’s what I was taught.

This. Simple and without a doubt.

Before Amelia Earhart, there was Bessie Coleman. Because she was female & African American (+ Native American), Bessie was refused flight training. So Bessie went to France where she earned her pilot's license a full 2 years before Ms. Earhart. 💜 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessie_... #BlackHistoryMonth

Black history month starts today and this administration would like us to forget it,

It’s gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

It is time for us to begin imagining a world without hierarchy, social or otherwise.

I invite you to take a deep breath and really let yourself imagine. What do you see?

I’ll go first: I see laughing, contented children.

My heart to yours.

Opinion | I talked to Meta’s Black AI character. Here’s what she told me. Is this the new era of digital blackface?

As a black queer woman I found myself having to take a few deep breaths as I read this. Damn.

Totally fell for this. 😂

The corvids - jays and crows - have me totally trained. They perch on the front porch until I arrive with peanuts in hand. (And I fall for it every time… 🙄)

May she rest in deep peace. Let us honor the courage, brilliance and life of Nikki Giovanni.

So am I.

Liz Ogbu is brilliant and tender. May this offer some solace in tricky times. preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webvi...

Maya is both Wiley and wise. I appreciate her gifts to the world.

There comes a time when those who have been accustomed to privilege for so long, equality feels like tyranny. As we imagine our next steps toward a world in which all beings (humans and otherwise) are valued, welcomed, and thrive, we must remember this.

So helpful. As a new follower here, I really appreciate this.
