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.

the lift was magical—i know, y’all.

dirty dancing was a pro choice, (white) feminist film and we don’t talk about that aspect enough.

i just can’t get into omegaverse fics even the best writers can’t make me like those 🫣

kendrick getting an entire stadium to scream “A MINORRRR” while dancing in flare jeans is the energy i’m bringing to the rest of 2025 #kendricklamar #superbowl

it has everything—nuanced characters, angsty romance, found family, and murder mysteries with atlanta as the backdrop. #willtrent

back in 2022, i made a tiktok account just to talk to fellow #kanthony fans about season 2. i’ve since deactivated my account, but loved analyzing kate & anthony’s arcs, other characters’ arcs, the wardrobe & hair evolutions representing their character growth, etc.

i can always tell if someone grew up reading and/or writing fanfiction, depending on what type of romance content they love. some of booktok’s faves are poorly written, temu game of thrones smut with no character development 🙂‍↔️

same goes for the girls who have only read fanfiction on archiveofourown. y’all weren’t in the trenches with us on livejournal and fanfiction.net. wattpad didn’t have “lemons” to wade through 💀

tv seasons on dvd = game changer. i rewatched season 1 of gilmore girls with my best friend in one night.

👵🏽 the youths don’t know what it was like to record vhs tapes of your favorite show weekly before dvr or streaming.

i would love a #kanthony spinoff to get all the moments we didn’t see.

now 4 y/o asked us to tell her “the story of when i was born” on her birthday.
4 y/o: daddy, why didn’t you take pictures?
husband: of the c-section?
4 y/o: yeah!
husband: i was there—sitting next to your mom and holding her hand the whole time.

is she the younger sibling? 🥲

white supremacy, colonialism, capitalist imperialism

acab, but i love a character-driven crime procedural like #willtrent

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
