We've always changed the way we speak over time. There are a plethora of other words we can use instead. Thanks to neuroplasticity, we can practice and adapt/evolve!

Happy October! 🎃👻🍂

Seems as it's almost October, this is your annual gentle reminder that "sp--ky" and "sp--k" have a racist history in North America. There are so many other words to use (creepy, scary, etc). Stop using that one! More info -> www.npr.org/sections/cod...

This Halloween: What Does It Mean To Call Something 'Spooky'?

Scared, fine. Frightened, sure. But spooked? This week, we dive into the racial history behind one of Halloween's most fraught descriptors.

A list of GFMs that need support.Most Palestinian GFMs are of families who have medical needs or disabled people. If you cant donate the 5$ limit you can pool funds with friends or community members.If that's not something you're able to do, repost! And check the end of the thread for some actions.

Why's it that clips on Twitch are starting to shift n change *after* I've edited them down to my satisfaction and published them? Why's it showing parts I've cut and removing parts I've included? The perfectionism in me hates that. I want the clips I make to loop smoothly like those Insta reels lol

Thank you for the support so far y'all! I've raised $25 overall today! If 4 more people match that, I can get food for the week! It's dangerous to have infrequent access to healthy food as a diabetic and a person with a history of disordered eating! Any amount helps!

I'm struggling to buy groceries this week! I am diabetic but healthy food is expensive! A good way to resist fascism is supporting the survival of a Black Trans artist!

With the government shut down, my household is not receiving any income at the current moment. And with no end in sight at the moment.
