The push against ableism isn’t just about individual rights.

It’s about dismantling broader systems of oppression that marginalize neurodistinct individuals daily

Is today the day I get fired, or will I be able to keep myself in check during this meeting I have with a colleague who thinks she’s in charge but you know, who actually isn’t and who actually isn’t present for a lot of the situations? I got 4 hrs of sleep last night, so it could go either way.

i’m getting word that 🧊 is taking some of their agents to harass folks in Wake Co. through Friday - Raleigh folks, keep your eyes peeled. stay safe.

We're headed into the holiday season, so two things to know:

- The only items in the store that are more expensive due to tariffs are: two leather bookmarks. The other 2,100 gift items and 47,000 books haven't gone up. thehauntedbookshop.com

- A trip to a local bookshop is a present in itself 📚❤️

Gorgeous!! 🧡🤎💚

A Fall Run:

Into the bright sun
The chilly air on my face
Up the steep hill
Through the crunchy leaves
Over the bridge
Past the rushing brook
My calm

Just thinking tonight that if you don’t know what to do in a situation, that’s okay. Just go with love compassion and you can’t go wrong. 🩷

Black-Owned Farms Fill Gaps Left by SNAP Funding Delays From North Carolina to Mississippi, small businesses work to feed their communities while benefits are paused.

SNAP participants can double their spending at their local farmers market or farm stands through a national initiative known as the Double Up Bucks food program. The policy council gives each customer wooden tokens, and if they spend $40, they will receive an additional $40 to spend.

Omg where do you live? I’m coming over right now this instant. 🤣🤣🤣#homemadepizza

Omg. I totally get this. I am glad you are here. I am glad you are doing well. I am glad you have support. I wanted to respond because you are not alone. The anxiety is…a lot. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Wow! Beautiful, enchanting, mysterious, mesmerizing, eerie, and wonderful all at the same time. This needs to be in a movie!

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

“I have learned to accept the fact that we risk disappointment, disillusionment, even despair, every time we act. Every time we decide to believe the world can be better. Every time we decide to trust others to be as noble as we think they are. And that there might be years during which our grief is equal to, or even greater than, our hope. The alternative, however, not to act, and therefore to miss experiencing other people at their best, reaching toward their fullness, has never appealed to me.” - Alice Walker
