I absolutely love typing on a typewriter. Besides having no distractions, it brings out a certain type of art not found in writing elsewhere.

Today has been heavy. I've recently been using my typewriter to transcribe my thoughts into written word. Some of that has been dabbling in poetry. Since poetry has no rules, like the federal government likes to think they don't, I figured I would share those thoughts with y'all today.

Yet another killing of a protester. A protester who was simply video recording.

Police are trained to de-escalate. They're trained to not stand in front of vehicles. They're trained to act smart.

I stand with everyone, no matter your political leanings, to get ICE out of our neighborhoods.

I was taught to love thy neighbor, that we were a nation for immigrants, by immigrants, and that equality and love will always overcome divisiveness and hate. Today, we celebrate the life and work of the late Martin Luther King Jr.

A day at the boy aquarium, while it's 14°f outside, enjoying the game with friends, after watching one with a friend playing her heart out. It's all my favorite things💜

Beauty and calm are always around you, if you just stop and look.

Home is one of the most beautiful things on earth. I'm just lucky I found mine on the first go around. 💜

Hey y'all!

We're in a big fundraising push to hit our goal by the end of the month! These goals aren't just brought about willy-nilly. They show our viability, our dedication, and help with everything from fliers to feeding volunteers. So whether it's 20$ or 200$, any amount helps!

We are told that we are too weak. Yet our names are screeched through the pitches and fields, afraid of what we can accomplish.

We are told that we are mentally incapable. Yet our presence in the halls of higher learning is ignored.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

These are the words inscribed on Lady Liberty herself. Words that I take seriously.

If at least you attend your city council meetings, I implore you. See what happens in your community. And speak up.

The thing I hate the most about the news that he was from here, is the amount of people you see immediately go and attack my hometown.

North Pekin was built as a company town for Caterpillar in the 1940's and 50's.
Oh for fuck's sake, Jonathan Ross's dad is from fucking North Pekin, Illinois

I'm from Illinois and spent a little time in Pekin

As a transgender American myself, I've been seeing this for a few years now. It's why I vow to protect and uplift every voice in the 93rd. Being uninformed or unsure about a certain group of people is no reason to forcibly remove that group.

If someone wants to send me 60$ for this game, I would greatly appreciate it😅. Every bit of it looks absolutely phenomenal.
Maelle's ending was the ethically and morally correct one.

(Don't click the replies unless you want people arguing over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 spoilers).

But seriously this game is sticking with me in a great way.

Amazing news! We are now endorsed by Equality Illinois! To fight for equity is to fight for working-class families, and I am so blessed to have them fighting alongside us for a Better Illinois!
