Im excited to take place in the economic blackout boycott tomorrow. I hope you'll join me and millions of others.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Sam, we know what they did. We will never forget. 💙

So the ides of March isn't that far away...

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Please, do tell me how my fused spine and current hyperfixation on creative learning methods (seriously, the neurodivergent brain wants what it wants 🤌) is such a dire threat to American life. "Oh no! She is going to rest her back after being excited about teaching for a 10 hour day. The horror!"

I can "catch all the blessings" I want but not enough to accept "thoughts and prayers" style toxic positivity when my country is hemorrhaging rights and protections. Healthy anger inspires action. I'll hold my grudge, thanks.

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

Let them be mad. Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Let them ignore you. Let them be right. Let them doubt you. Let them hate you. Let them run your name in the ground. Let them make you out to be the villain. But never let them make you question your worth.
