Life is so short. We are all going to die. Imagine choosing to inspire hate instead of sowing love. Imagine choosing profit over people. Imagine seeing the worst rather than hoping for the best. Love is what makes life tolerable and good. Those who take that away are the cruelest, most wretched.

My personality is basically a mix between a needy 5 year old child who can't control their emotions, a teenage rebel who makes poor life decisions, and an 80 year old who's tired and needs a nap.

“There is only one way to defeat fascism” No. There are multiple ways, and we need pretty much all of them right now. The only tactics we don’t need are complacency, endless virtue signaling and infighting. Everything else is kind of at least up for discussion.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRASH OUT. Folks are relying on you to be overstimulated, overwhelmed, & overcome so you won't resist. Take breaks, Take a breath, Be intentional with how you spend your time. Be effective with how you spend your energy. Support each other Rest, live, & fight another day.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

In my last post, I called for us to fight back against Nazis all over social media. I got comments shaming me that this is useless and the RIGHT thing to do is to organize. Ok, fair. But can we ALSO try to win the social and podcasts battle? Because it helped swing the last election...remember?

It is natural to know despair in dark times, to feel dread and uncertainty. But do not immerse yourself in doom. Seek out joy and light, wherever you can find it, to keep despair from being the only feeling you have space for.

You don’t have to be fearless to be brave. Do it scared.

Refuse to be gaslit Refuse to be riled up Refuse to be afraid Refuse to be silent Refuse to not protect your peace Refuse to not resist Refuse to not connect Refuse to not create Refuse to lose courage Refuse to lose hope Refuse to lose joy Refuse.

It’s ok to judge people on their politics, for their political beliefs reflect their morality.

I was just at Walgreens where I witnessed an old man stocking up on multivitamins flirting with an old woman with arms full of booze and incontinence pads. It was beautiful.
