I'm a witch, raising my family in our permaculture food forest.
Be better, never stop growing, kindness is not a weakness.

Yet more evidence of how #Flock makes different claims around data use and ownership depending on who they are talking to. The "anonymized data" use contract clauses are hugely problematic!

Cancel Flock! 🚫

No matter what Starbucks does to try and stop us, we know we deserve a fair workplace.

Our strength is in our solidarity - and we won't stop fighting until Starbucks ends its union-busting and finalizes fair contracts ✊

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.

Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Starbucks workers are STILL on ULP strike in over 130 cities and growing. Support our fight for better pay, scheduling, and protections - as well as a resolution to all outstanding unfair labor practices - by NOT BUYING STARBUCKS at ANY location for the duration of our strike!

We've been following ongoing discussions about Northsky.

We'd like to affirm that we do not support transmedicalism or any other form of identity-based discrimination. All trans people are welcome on Northsky when it launches.

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote to either save the ACA tax credits or not.

This will determine if premiums will skyrocket for millions of Americans.

Pay attention to see if Republicans vote to help or hurt regular Americans.
