@johnathanperk.bsky.social I appreciate you for what I’m taking in as my on-going lesson on white privilege. Not always pretty to face, but critically important. Sending you and all teachers gratitude.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

Black history is American history. I continue to learn so much that I didn't know—some triumphs, some horrors, but all critically important.

A Social Worker made all the difference to my family today. With incredible expertise and warmth, she made things happen that really eased our path—and our minds (and fully eclipsed the medical staff, tbh). A shoutout for such grace in embodying Social Work values. @naswsocialworkers.bsky.social

Frances Perkins was, among other things, a Social Worker. She set the badassery bar high for all of us who follow that path.

When I feel my own heart breaking and stomach sinking, i think of Harry and other brave people directly affected by this evil man, and I tell myself, “Get thyself together and be a defiant, insufferable b*tch for democracy bc you might as well put that natural talent to good use.”

Social Work fact: There are over 750,00 Social Workers in the U.S. We make up over half of the country's trained mental health professionals, and we account for more than any other category. (It's not even close) www.bls.gov/careeroutloo... bsky.app/profile/nasw...

Social Work fact: you may have met a Social Worker at a hospital as part of a care team or have a therapist who's a Social Worker, but we're also in policy and advocacy jobs, community organizing, education, and social research roles, among many others.

I think a lot about what @nanjala.bsky.social said once about oligarchy and threats to freedom: One way to stay free and resist authoritarianism is “resisting the narratives of inevitability”. We are being told to accept exploitative AI, because our tech overlords say so. We don’t have to.

Something I’ve been carrying around with me that I can’t fully articulate is the anger and absolute disgust knowing that millions of Black men have had untold opportunities denied to them for being convicted of felonies by the system but this racist mediocre white man gets to be elected president.
