No, we aren’t ok. Being who I am and with the child I have in this country right now is not safe.

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

How empathy came to be seen as a weakness in conservative circles There's a growing movement, among some conservatives, pushing back against traditional notions of empathy. What's behind it, and what might it mean, especially for Christian conservatives?

Apparently we are at the point now as a nation where we are debating “empathy” itself. Wild.

Did you know?

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

☮️ steps of resistance I’ve taken the last few days:
*got a Costco membership 💰
*kept my she/they pronouns on work email signatures 🏳️‍🌈
*drank more water and not given in to the intended overwhelm 💧
*began using mindfulness app 🧘🏻‍♀️
❤️ I’d love to hear what you all are doing, no matter how “small.”

“autism moms” who take their children’s diagnosis as a badge for how much they “struggle” & “how hard” their “life” is.. 🤢🤮

That’s not only deeply disturbing but #Ableism at its utmost finest .

Yes! I want to support local and national places that are resisting the DEI ban. Frothy Monkey seems like a place I need to check out! What else?
