My dear friend Salima is amazing at everything including admitting when she isn't doing amazing. Amazing.
So much love, woman.
Guess who's planning UK trip come Spring?

I'd be standing up for myself if I were there today, tho I wasn't able to call it sexual assault until a full 15 years after college, when my therapist gently told me that what I described was indisputably rape.

God Bless these students.

Update: I’m back on insta but that was unsettling. I’m thinking I want to cultivate this non-Meta platform as I can. XO 🦋

Update - I’m back on insta but (a) that was kinda scary not gonna lie and (b) I’m thinking I want to lean harder on blue sky.

OK blue sky friends - it’s just us and Facebook (for how long?). Anybody else get banned and not know why? I’m guessing it has something to do with my wicked combination of vagina + brain.

Wow. Good Morning to you too.

The brilliant @msolurin.bsky.social gathered a few of us to have a frank discussion on the topic of "boycotts" - it's informative, opinion-heavy, and honest asl! Check it out now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC-Y...

I heart Tina Smith.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive.

📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House.
I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.

Right? 🤷‍♀️

Yesssss

US retail sales fall sharply in January U.S. retail sales fell more than expected in January, likely as frigid temperatures kept consumers from automobile showrooms.

That’s weird. I wonder what happened in January? www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...

pajama pants without pockets: WHY

Ran into a Black woman the other day, and we both looked at each other and then she proceeded to say my exact thoughts out loud:

"Why is everybody shocked? They told us they'd do this."

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
