I didn’t watch this but am I to understand that an elderly Black man stood up to a fascist, was then escorted out, and most of the white people in the room sat there and did nothing?

Am I getting this right? I want to make sure before I say what I need to say.
He stood alone with courage in the face of tyranny.

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

They want so badly for me to live in fear and despair. But I’m cuddled in bed right now with my girlfriend and cat, in the house I share with my beloved roommates, and every single one of these heartless bigots I see raging against us looks like they’ve never known love in their lives. I’m grateful.

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.
1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.

My shelter is so bursting at the seams... But at least the puppies are cute. 💗PLEASE help people access spay/neuter. Please help shelters wherever you can. Unless you work in animal rescue, you have NO IDEA how stressful every day is 💔

Organizing doesn’t have to be loud, or on social media at all. It can take the form of spreadsheets, childcare, and showing up

Puppies, too, unfortunately so I’m doubly fucked
Living with a young cat is a steady stream of 'what are you eating' 'what do you have' 'don't eat that' 'leave it' 'oh my god what is that' 'stop chewing on the _____' 'what are you chewing on'

Call it a soft coming out, call it whatever — I’m pansexual, feel strongly meh about gender, and especially now I feel more protective over my fellow Mexican Americans than my fellow Irish Americans \_(ツ)_/¯

The fact that TX teachers are literally selling out their current students when I would literally put myself on the line for any of my ex students despite that being a full 2 careers ago. Like, those were MY students - you’re going through me before you touch them. Some ppl shouldn’t be teachers.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.
