Love Spaces A micro-fiction collection of quiet moments between couples, capturing the small, everyday gestures and shared habits that quietly shape lasting love.

Love is an action, never simply a feeling.—bell hooks
This is an invitation to notice the subtle ways love shows up in our lives. #microfiction

Someone explain to me why the men’s names are redacted?

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again.

The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot.

Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

@hakeemjefferson.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov read the room! ABOLISH ICE! ICE has more funding than most countries’ military. Why continue funding a Gestapo-like group from a fascist regime? Don't be complicit!

BREAKING: Lithuania has launched a human trafficking investigation related to Epstein files

Otherness A celebration of self-love and acceptance, honoring uniqueness amidst the tides of expectation and doubt.

[…] I'm trying to own my weirdness,
all my contradictions,
these identity crises
that come and go:
shifting like these tides,
never the same, […]
~~
Today’s poem explores the experience of feeling caught between different worlds. #poetry

Catherine O’Hara, Rest in peace, 1954-2026

As if this Friday wasn't F*ed up enough…
RIP Catherine O’Hara 😢

In a country where ordinary citizens had the courage to give their lives to down a plane headed for mass tragedy (Flight 93), it is inconceivable that elected Republicans can't summon the courage to challenge an out-of-control president.

Isn't this the truth? 👇🏼

The Senate separated DHS funding from the broader package to keep the government open, but ICE keeps getting funded for two weeks while they negotiate. That's NOT a win for Dems, my lovelies. They have wasted their leverage. We remember what happened with their negotiations of the ACA subsidies.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: Is ICE salvageable?

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: No. We have to abolish ICE. No question.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.

Democrats in Congress, start pushing to claw back all the money in the “Big Beautiful Bill” appropriated for ICE. And, start saying: ABOLISH ICE!

Snowstorm Mending love wounds

This is a reposting (and a new perspective) of a poem about holding on to love and hope during a difficult, cold moment when everything seems to be working against you. ABOLISH ICE! #poetry

Why aren't @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , @schumer.senate.gov , and other Democratic leadership in Minneapolis right now holding a press conference with Walz and Frey? That's what leaders would do. Show that you support the people of Minnesota, ffs!

It's all about the money, folks! They really don't care, as long as their bottom line isn't hurt.

I wanted to pass this script on. Call your senators!

No more excuses! After the murder of Renee Nicole Good, the kidnapping of a 5-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, and now the execution-style murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, no one can say they didn't know. Congress needs to act NOW and ABOLISH ICE!

LINE THESE ASSHOLES UP IN FRONT OF THE CITY TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY VOTED YES TO FUND MURDERING PEOPLE ON THE STREETS!!!!

Democrat leaders should be in Minnesota right now, standing side by side with Walz and Frey and the community.

They need to show solidarity and a united front.

They must say Abolish ICE.

They won't but they should. Trump is going to unleash hell on that state.

If Cortez Masto won't vote for it, I think that means the DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the senate.

Heartbreaking. Infuriating. A call to action.

The democrats have a problem. They are the loyal opposition and that's not good at all. www.instagram.com/reel/DTKbGKe...

So, blowing a whistle now warrants a beating and an arrest? Citizens are not impeding anything by blowing a whistle or peacefully protesting. Everyone who has had their rights violated by ICE should be filing class action suits right now!

It is not enough to say ABOLISH ICE. They also need to be held accountable. We also need to say PROSECUTE ICE!

To @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: Talk is cheap. So are sternly worded letters and emails. ENOUGH! Stop taking our tax dollars to fund the cruelty ICE uses against the people you represent!
Did you forget? YOU AND THE REST OF CONGRESS SERVE US!
DE-ICE the United States!

I saw the videos.
Renee Nicole Good was murdered.
THAT is the truth.
