dignity, respect, and a future of coexistence; I listen, I sympathize, I don't simper, and I set boundaries softly. I try to put dignity into the world, not because I know what's right but because I think it may be the only way.

Yo, give @maryharris.bsky.social all the things. This is inspiring work. So smart, so thorough. Just goals.

Gonna keep stressing that you should take advantage of every possible opportunity you can to gather with others over the next few years. These can be virtual and/or in person. Go to events, protests, workshops, meetings. Enhance your organizing skills and practice them how you can.

Is it my chair squeaking Or is it a terrible creature from beyond understanding here to wrest my weary soul from my mortal coil? #suspicious #alikelystory

I did not make my child. I provided the conditions, the materials. The building blocks. Her mother and I together fused our lives and bodies and did not create her; but the opportunity for her. From that moment, it was all on her. #Parent #child #parenting #millennial

Humans really aren't able to cooperate at our current population levels without really good systems.

#fantasycraft is such a weakness of mine. I had fun with it one time but it's such a beast. I've been thinking lately how #D&D is so Forgettable as a mechanical system and I like Eberron. I think you can guess where my brain went 👀 #fantasy #help #ttrpg #fool

The problem that I am running into with social media is that PEOPLE and INSTITUTIONS are represented as equal. They are not.

There will be ebbs and flows of when the work you are doing feels powerful and profound and when it just feels silly and pointless. That's ok, keep going. This counts for creative processes or protests or spiritual practice. Chop wood, carry water, feed people, rest, repeat.

I was a sidelines kid It was all I really knew Observe Interpret Connect I saw things others didn't Power dynamics, tricks hidden feelings, silent words Tiny windows emoted When they thought No one is watching The rage of parents Pouring through children's faces

I love that "fine dining" is just a way to say "we wasted a bunch of food to remove all of the fiber"

If you find that the first thing you feel upon waking up is the need to act, then slow down. Not because it will make you comfortable, but because it will keep your mind clear. And if there's one thing you need right now it's a clear head

Effective leaders & managers know this. Bragging about pulling all nighters is very sophomore year.

Did someone get something wrong? 🎉 Share what you know and provide a reference 🎉 Ask for clarification 🎉 Embrace Ignorance 🚫 Tell them to google it 🚫 Tell them to use spellcheck 🚫 Tell them to look it up Negative feed back loops create fragile systems by sucking energy out of them.

Jesus christ, in case you didn't know, the reason why Who Decides How Money Gets Spent and Who Spends The Money are separate is so that all spending gets tracked. I'm sure our government has holes, but to treat the treasury as "corrupt" for doing it's job is profoundly stupid or profoundly evil

Why are people dropping the QIA from LGBTQIA? Like: don't be such a coward. Include all of us or keep it short and sweet.

Things can only change fundamentally when you allow yourself to receive that change. People are the fundamentals of society.

#ttrpgsky So i'm about to play a game of #Eberron, but a player dropped out. Grr. I am not a fan of ampersand game, but I love Eberron. Aelina Silvaness d'Deneith, graduate of Wynarn University's Bard College, recent recipient of Horrifying Nightmares, and all around fuckup will have to wait...

This one is extra special! 🤣🤣

#QueerItUp Become an affront to conservatism everywhere. #BecomeTheThorn that they cannot escape. #BeBeautiful This is the assignment. If you fit in, now is the time to stop. There are more of us than there are of them. #GiveThemNoPeace

I'm tired of being distrusted because people listen to stories from far away lands about "people like me." There are no people like me. Individuality serves the collective. Communality serves power. I'm not easy to digest. That's my resistance.

This is entirely relevant. The vast majority of people are still in shock and need to be treated gently. When we speak matter of factly, about things over which they are still in shock about... they just kind of... dissociate or get skeptical.
