Find people.

Start making connections. Get comfortable with closeness. Be familiar. Be shameless. Join groups. Attend events. Write emails. Send messages. Introduce yourself constantly. Ask to be introduced to others. Invite yourself wherever you can. Demand access. Demand a presence. Show up.

Is "The Old Religion" the best song of Florence Welch's career? Possibly. Probably.

I was asked this morning if I'm Deaf or deaf—if I'm a part of the culture, community, and language, or if I just can't hear.

I reject the Deaf/deaf binary.

Deafness is a universe. How can you possibly cut a universe into halves?

Sometimes asking for help can feel impossible. For many of us, asking for help makes us feel embarrassed or ashamed. But I have no shame. I will do it for you because you matter. You deserve to be fed. You don't have to problem-solve your own survival alone. Please reach out.

If you find yourself struggling to get food, come to me for help. I can't promise perfect solutions, but I can promise that I will fight for you, advocate for you, make connections for you, seek out local support options for you, and ask favors on your behalf so you don't starve.

National food assistance programs will stall on November 1, putting 40 million (one in eight) Americans at risk of food insecurity, hunger, and worse. This will likely overwhelm local food charities, many of which have fragile supply chains and limited stock.

If you depend on SNAP benefits and food banks, please read this thread. If you don't rely on those programs, share this for the people in your life who do.

If you're at risk of going hungry or worried about affording or finding food: I'm your friend now. I'm here to help.

Damn, I had a dead Linktree in my bio for like a year and someone just told me. 😭

Anyway, check out my website that I'm about to completely burn down and redesign, my Tumblr so you can see me share photos of dad bods once every three months, and my Instagram so you can see me share photos of mine.

Every weekday on Broadway, undocumented immigrants line up to enter 26 Federal Plaza. They enter harshly lit hallways where ICE agents mill around — waiting to take people away. For our cover story, Stephanie Keith captures the anguished scenes of arrest in downtown Manhattan. buff.ly/N6JNPUP.

Hey folks, I'm moving to the Altadena/Pasadena area in California in November.

Since I'm uprooting myself from a life lived entirely in Indiana up until now, I'm hoping to find some friends in Los Angeles to make this major life event a little less scary and isolating.

So, hit me up. 🫶

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

I'm so tired of sharing a planet with people who only dream of escaping from it, who treat the earth as fundamentally evil and disposable. So fucking sad.

You all love to blame victims all the time until it's an American Nazi literally dying from the kind of violence he endorsed and the instruments of warfare he worshipped. Weird.

Too many of you lamenting "political violence" today have been silent about Gaza.
