And can help keep us more whole, less responding on their terms & more on our own, more making choices as the people we wish to be.

Practical tips & bigger picture here:

I love this poem so much.

It’s seems like such a distraction from the real harm that’s happening in our country and world right now.

Oh gawd, I hope not 🤦🏻‍♀️ it does seem that way though

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

February: I'm the shortest month.
February 2025: I SHALL LAST FOR 10,000 YEARS.

It’s giving, I didn’t think the leopards would eat my face.

I keep remembering all the people who asked how they were supposed to explain queer people to their kids have now put me into a position where I have to explain a whole bunch of crazy shit to my kids.

Activists protested outside the Target location on Nicollet Mall, cutting Red Cards while calling for a boycott of the company.

This is freaking evil.

Really loving this YA novel about two chronically ill/disabled,

Mass Deportation is underway.
Remember! If you know an undocumented person….
NO YOU DON’T!!! #immigrantrights

“Compassion constitutes a radical form of criticism, for it announces that the hurt is to be taken seriously, that the hurt is not to be accepted as normal and natural but is an abnormal and unacceptable condition for humanness.” -Walter Brueggermann, The Prophetic Imagination

Fascists gonna fascist.
