It’s really sad that there’s teachers who love to teach but aren’t paid a livable wage in teaching :((

That’s one of the most critical professions needed in this world.

Bruh, in St Lucia, my name might as well have been Rasta! But I was also in what seemed like a touristy area so I couldn’t tell if it was something about me specifically or if every dude with locs was getting called that

All I hope for Steel Ball Run is that Netflix doesn't batch release it. After the hype of Part 5, I feel like Part 6 lost so much momentum due to the release schedule

People have no idea how many homeless people in this area are serving their fast food or checking them out at the grocery store lane.

Want to solve homelessness? Build a lot more affordable housing and pay living wages.

A GREAT way to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day is to give resources to awesome Native orgs.

This is an old-but-new one (long story) that supports tribal schools in their language revitalization, food sovereignty, and other efforts.

I think you misunderstood the article (which to your credit, doesn't do a good job of framing the scale of the issue). When you buy a domain with something like NameCheap or Spaceship, you have the option to keep your contact info. Every site with the Icelandic address isn't a scam or phishing site

Things that have helped me recently:
1) little things still matter
2) the power of a solid meal, a big glass of water, and a good night's sleep
3) remembering how much words of encouragement or a compliment meant after a tough day
4) action is the enemy of despair
5) I can do things through spite

I am once again wishing that the left were as organized and well-funded as the right makes out.

It's #IndigenousPeoplesDay!

Fellow settlers, if you have a little extra, today is a great day to give to Native Mutual Aid and/or one of my favorite organizations, Native American Rights Fund.
