Love animals, food, books, music, movies, and funny people who find me even funnier. Anarchosocialist, responsible for the one person campaign against raspberry sherbet. Quite possibly the sanest person in this asylum but they won’t let me use scissors.
Hi Everyone! Your resident “blink and you missed her” is back.
You know how your debit card has a daily spending limit? Yeah?
Well your energy has a limit for people who don’t respect, value, and honour your truth. Yeah, you’re tapped out. Quit spending at that store. 😘

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

So proud to be representing these courageous patients in their first-in-the-country lawsuit against a medical system for stopping gender affirming care for those under 19.
Just in: WLP, Berger Montague, and law professor David S. Cohen filed a complaint against UPMC Children’s Hospital for unlawfully denying gender-affirming care to transgender patients under 19.

I have recently discovered that I am a human with personality traits absurdly similar to those of a cat.
I am okay with this aside from the fact that I still have to work for a living and clean up after myself unlike a cat. I feel like I maybe got ripped off in this deal.

Let’s talk about sustainability in ecosystems, economics, and housing.
To truly begin a genuine overhaul of broken systems we must first do the hard work of lifting up and LISTENING to our marginalized communities. All of them. It’s messy. It’s frustrating. Yet it must be done.

A toxic take on communication. Human beings have developed certain language traits to nurture relationships and create within them a culture that is suited to the subject at hand. If you want an audience that would normally struggle to relate to your content, be relatable. Unlike this douche.
Thought from a week of conferences: If someone uses uptalk or says “like” and “you know” I can’t take them seriously. You can train yourself to speak more confidently and you owe it to the audience.

Let’s be clear here: a society that focuses on hoarding its trillions instead of using them to provide sustainable infrastructure, free education (at ALL levels), housing, and full-coverage medical care for EVERYONE within it regardless of that persons “legal” status is a failing society.

Mermaid Spell against sadness
While walking on the beach, you'll often see small, smooth pieces of glass shimmering in the sand. These are also called "mermaids' diamonds" because, according to legend, these small, colorful pieces are very popular with mermaids as jewelry. +

An underappreciated CPTSD recovery hack is to create. Create anything. Art, music, food. It doesn't have to be objectively "good," or objectively anything-- just create. Make. Generate. Creativity oils every aspect of our recovery work. It literally reanimates our brain & heart.

Apparently there is a social expectation that I am supposed to be happy and pleasant at 9am every day but I gotta tell y’all… the fact that I’m even alive and relatively mobile at 9am is miraculous in and of itself so 🤷🏽♀️ adjust your expectations? And bring coffee. A lot of coffee.

Been seeing a lot of posts where people have expressed guilt over not meeting some social expectations or feeling inadequate.
I’m here to remind you that regardless of the PACE, you’ve entered the SPACE, and any progress you make matters. Your energy matters. You’re doing great. I’m proud of you.

Read every single book that has ever been banned. Watch every film that has ever gotten an “Oh my! How dare they!” And listen to every song that has ever sung about raging against injustice.
Then think critically.
