“Kindness eases change. Love quiets fear. And a sweet and powerful Positive obsession Blunts pain, Diverts rage, And engages each of us In the greatest, The most intense Of our chosen struggles.” ― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

We said we’d fight Trump’s attacks on our rights at every turn, and we meant it. 100 days in and over 110 legal actions under our belt, we’re just getting started.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

I find “people don’t actually know how things work” has a lot of explanatory power. I don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way. I’m only vaguely aware of how my microwave or the car radio work. A lot of modern life is assuming the functioning of complex tech and models.

I keep telling my academic friends to turn their books into short pamphlets and to hand those out for free in their communities. I excerpted a chapter from a friend's book last year, made it into a zine, and so far I've distributed 400 hard copies and it's also available for digital download.

Most people have never been brave. Folks, there is no golden age of "bravery" in any cultural context or historical moment. People are just people and what makes people more brave is if others take brave action [and this only works sometimes].

intimacy isn’t just about sex. it’s in the way you speak, the way you touch, the way you love. it’s in how you show up for someone—consistently, fully, and with care. real intimacy is soft, intentional, and warm as hell.

Being kind to yourself, even when you don’t feel worthy, is an everyday choice. You’ve got this! Keep going, ✨

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

You as a single individual DO NOT have to "keep up" with ALL of the information of every single thing happening across the entire world daily. You don't because it's impossible. Focus on a couple of things and act on those things. Don't feel ashamed that you are doing that.

Reminder - Social Security is *your* money. You pay into it so you can collect it later. If the government shuts it down on a whim, without paying you back, that is theft.

Allowing space for the idea that relationships that are “a lot of work” (and therefore difficult) could be describing the relationship …and/or it could be describing an opportunity to practice a skill that will get easier with time if we stick with it earnestly

Right now it might feel like we’re being overwhelmed by the Right’s promised “shock and awe” strategy and it is in fact overwhelming. However, it is our job to stay focused, plan our responses, and importantly to prepare for the next ruptures because there will be more big ruptures.

New — All FDA employees told to remove anything in their comms that "promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology" to comply with Trump's anti-trans EO. That includes Microsoft Office profile pics, which could affirm gender. "They are erasing people," one staffer told me. Email shared w/ me:

Putting on my big boy pants and having difficult conversations... Do I feel like it’s fair that I’m usually always initiating them? No. Do I value having a clear conscience and knowing I did my part? Yes. So it is what it is.
