“Don’t ever let yourself be a victim. Our culture thrives on victimhood. We love to invoke ‘I can’t’ and make excuses. The truth is we tend to make time and have money for what we think is important. Be the change you want to see and refuse to blame others or circumstances.” -Joel Salatin

Plague Poems @plaguepoems.bsky.social · Apr 3

I keep hearing people say
that we should not panic
we will get through this
somehow
we will get through this,
but I must confess
at this point
I am beginning to lose track
of how many catastrophes
we are currently trying
to get through.

Gonna make a $24.19 donation today because when you actually show up to call out the harm being done instead of just going along with it, that deserves an acknowledgment. Well done to the Senator from New Jersey.

Still nothing when I turned my phone horizontally—I’ll try on a desktop later!

Is there anything posted? I followed the link and got to the website but there are blank spaces (see pictures below) and no menu to navigate to other pages.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Vivienne deserves better than for YOU to be posting her deadname all over social media. @karaswisher.bsky.social

Please, please read and donate if you can—and share if you can’t. There but for the grace of God go all of us—and we all need to be able to believe in the good of humanity.

All right, we have a local family who have absolutely been through the wringer for the past five years, and they are in emergent circumstances.

This is the Fresquez family; the other day, y'all helped save their belongings in storage and get their phones turned back on.

Madeleine L'Engle; this is why they want you illiterate

I am so sorry. I know hearing “it’s brutal” doesn’t help, but hopefully there is no doubt in your mind that you are doing everything you can do. We are grateful for your efforts.
