Tell Congress: Protect Federal Workers and Fund Public Services The president and his yes-men and women in Congress have escalated their attacks on workers and illegally fired thousands of federal workers, including AFSCME members. Tell Congress: federal worker...

Federal workers help keep our communities strong, but anti-worker extremists are now using this government shutdown to illegally fire these dedicated workers. Our communities will pay the price.

Tell Congress: Respect workers and restore their jobs.

Finally a college graduate, after years of waiting to apply and months waiting for my application to be accepted ❤️

I lost a darning/yarn needle on my bed and now I fear I will find it by being stabbed in the eye as I sleep.

Tax the rich, pass it on. #TaxDay

Time to start Swedish Death Cleaning.

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Can we use checks? I don't have cash 😭

People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:

AFSCME’s Saunders: Workers and communities are paying the price of the administration dismantling federal agencies AFSCME President Lee Saunders released the following statement after AFSCME members at the U.S. Department of Agriculture were placed on administrative leave to be furloughe

Because the administration has illegally eliminated USAID, AFSCME members in the USDA were notified of furloughs. Thanks to this extremism, people abroad will go hungry & American farmers will be left high & dry with no one to buy their crops.

Now is not the time for cowardice. You don’t back down because this administration is scarier. That’s what they want. You get smarter. You get more organized.

They want you to give up, lay down and shut up. It’s easier for them that way.

I keep seeing people be like “I’m useless. I have no skills. How can I help?”

So I made a list of skills to learn so we can start pulling labor away from the capitalists and into our own communities.

How long do you think until they start mandating that anyone they deem a woman start wearing dresses and skirts exclusively again?

"I saw more of it than you thought I did" lookin ass

Happy Hanukah!

Why Natural Fabrics Are Essential For Summer Dressing When the temperature on the thermometer creeps up to 85 degrees, 90 degrees, and above, I find myself pulling out all the stops to stay cool. Standing by

In the heat, wearing clothes made from fibers like polyester is like wrapping yourself in a plastic bag. https://buff.ly/4fqTMEd

I'm currently reading through The Soul of the Stranger Reading God and Torah From a Transgender Perspective by Joy Ladin. It makes a lot of sense, but it's very slow-paced. I find myself having to read aloud just so I'm forced to focus. #booksky

Morning, friends. Time to dig back in to all of this.
Democracy matters.

My local library uses Hoopla, which is like Libby! So ask about both!

but they took their own life. A fellow trans person and a fellow jew I will now never get to meet.

We lost so many people this year. Every single one was a cousin in my heart that I'll never get back.

Just got home from the Trangender Day of Remembrance Vigil and oh boy... That hurt. One person we lost really, really hit my heart because I knew from the moment I saw their picture that we'd have gotten on like a house on fire. And then their bio was read and I cried. We would have gotten on,

The first day is better than the second and third day. Try not to do too much (too much meaning anything at all lmao) today or you'll feel worse tomorrow.

But congrats 🎉🎉

I'm eleven days into the recovery process after top surgery — I'm mentally ready to go back to work. This whole not being able to drive or lift anything over five pounds restriction blows. I am going to a Transgender Remembrance Day Vigil today though.
