The Madleen and her crew are expected to reach Gaza by Monday. The bravery and love for humanity it took to board another freedom flotilla after the last one was attacked will be studied and admired for ages.

May their love spread across the world.

May their journey be protected ✨🙏🏼

I don’t fight fascism expecting it to go away tomorrow. I fight fascism so it does not change me today.

The scariest thing to facism is a dreamer.

Someone who can dream of a better, more just path forward.

Someone who recognizes in themselves the power to change things.

Tea and book—my favorite combo.

Thank you for reading Reset. I hope you enjoy it 🦋
Today's tea is catnip, mugwort, assam black, and cinnamon. It has earthy and grassy vibes, but I steeped too long. It's bitter. I added honey to smooth it out. I'm reading Reset by @sarinadahlan.bsky.social. A friend lent me this Sci Fi book featuring the concept of Tabula Rasa. 🍵☕️🫖 📚💙 📚🪐

I don’t want to colonize Greenland.

I want fully funded libraries, schools, museums, national and state parks.

I recently learned that people call trans girls at this particularly well known all boys Catholic school in Bangkok “Naang Fah” or angels.

There’s so much beauty in a society that calls its trans girls angels and I think we should normalize calling our own trans girls angels too 🏳️‍⚧️💕

4 of my books—Reset, Preset, Freeset, and Shadow Play—were stolen to feed Meta AI.

There is currently a class action lawsuit by the Authors Guild on behalf of all authors whose books were illegally used by Meta.

Here’s the link to see if yours is on the list. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Why are you so political, Sarina?

Books.

My books. Your books. All the books.

Why do you think they try so hard to get rid of books?

Happy International Women's Day!

Trans women are women.

All women’s rights are intertwined.

Our bodies do not belong to the government.

There are 50% of us.

San Diego!

There’s a march this Saturday 11 am

Together, we can stand in unwavering solidarity for justice ❤️

Rep Al green is an American hero.

Hey Dems, lead, follow,or get the fuck out the way.

I need more Al Green and less of the leadership at this point. 🗣️📢

Just a reminder that there will be a 24-hour economic blackout nationwide this Friday, February 28.

No purchase unless from a small business.

No gas.

No fast food.

No Amazon.

No Target.

No Walmart.

No corporate spending.

We want them to see that we have the power.

Please spread the word.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.

They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Naritasan Shinsho-ji

Was lucky enough to witness the famed ogoma prayer, a Buddhist fire ceremony that has been held here daily since its founding over a thousand years ago 🔥

It felt so peaceful in that room, listening to the chant, and watching fire burn away earthly desires.
