You matter. You cannot be erased. 💖 And don’t get it twisted: I love making food because I love cultures and people and ways to share. Gather around the good stuff.

As @ciantormey.bsky.social and @tomtaylormade.bsky.social, remind us, even this embodiment of evil chaos has limits. One of them being bigotry and another being does not f*ck with nazi sh*t. We live in a society, indeed.

Stress baking is back, so that’s fun for me…

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

understand the hypocrisy of posting this, but reminder to please not invest your sense of self, sense of community, or sense of achievement in online platforms or online forums. I know how helpful they’ve been to marginalized people, but honestly, I think they have more in common with online dating.

I have believed in America my whole life, despite its many flaws. But when it comes to what defines the America I love, separation of powers/checks and balances, and the separation of church and state are THE defining characteristics I look at. This is ugly. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

Destabilization of reality in the US is about to reach surreal heights. Protect your mind. Monitor stress levels. Do not doomscroll--it does not help. Be selective about when and how long you expose your brain to this. Do what you can when you can.

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

If you’re giving your attention to the big, toothy, ugly things happening in the world, I hope you are also paying attention to the ways in which there is concerted efforts to oppose them. Your attention is your own. www.axios.com/local/seattl...

You matter. You are here. That cannot be legislated or hated out of existence. And I promise you that there are people in this world who see you or can’t wait to see you, hold you close, and be in community with you.

Be cautious on social media—fednews is being monitored.

This is not normal, or natural, or inevitable. youtu.be/ZfBkw0j-QIs?...

I want to be clear about the impacts of President Trump’s mass deportations. It means ripping families apart. It means kids losing their parents. It means businesses losing their workers. It means communities being significantly altered.

I can't recall a single point in my life where I've been scared of a trans person. Unfortunately, I can think of many, many times that I've been scared FOR trans people.

Take back your attention.

I would take my hat off for my boyfriend. That is all.

Say it with me everyone: “Stay alert, not anxious.” I know that’s an understandably hard ask for a lot of folks, and perhaps is more aspirational than achievable, but baby steps are still steps.

Just a solid bop that im a fan of generally, but especially during elections. youtu.be/m-lSlJc_5NE?...
