No one owes you deference, respect, or even the time of day as some sort of "only if you prove you deserve it" allyship. If you think you are owed something, you're doing it wrong. You either are an ally, or you aren't. Period.

My friend stayed over last night and sent me this picture of Freyja and Mori staring at her. It was breakfast time, so I'm assuming they were inviting her to feed them.

I already called my reps. Make sure you call yours. If they're Republican call and email them. Remind them rural voters will not get their mail if this happens. Remind Democrats mail-in voting matters and will stop under this system.

The main reason to remember that the fascist is UNPOPULAR is to shift how you think about antifascism. Get off your back foot. Lean forward. Other people are seeing what you are too.

Found this for super cheap at an antique store. I want to look into cleaning it up and seeing if I can't make it look nice again. Not sure how to rehab something like this, but it was just a few bucks so it's worth a try.

We're fighting alongside our communities to protect civil rights over the next four years. We cannot let any president shock us into complacency or fear.

My aunt was telling me about this. Your name will have to match your birth certificate. It's trying to stop voting for POC, poor folks, trans folks, women who have their husband's last name, etc. It guts registration too I don't trust politicians, but it's worth bugging them to shut this shit down.

My doctor told me that my lifestyle wasn't why my health issues exist. She was adamant about it. I'd be like, "Well, I can take responsibility for XYZ" and she'd go, "No. This is genetics. Look at this test from several years ago. XYZ wasn't a factor in that test." (1/2)

The reason they don't choose the other path is because they are deeply implicated and agree with those folks on a lot.

Don't do this administration's work for them by coming up with justifying and rationalizing arguments for institutions and organizations to cooperate. This includes the justifications for why the Democratic party has to "find common ground." If you even start to think this, slap yourself.

Z's wedding ring doesn't fit him anymore and now I'm wearing it on my thumb like the 90s. I feel so cool in my boyfriend sweater thumb ring.

I'm going to participate in this. It's fine if people want to go, "That won't work" and do nothing. But I'm going to take a specific action and see what I learn. Growth mindsets over learned helplessness. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

My health has been a whole thing lately. Just stacks of diagnoses, most of them for long-term issues that I've been seeking help for for years. It's validating, it's overwhelming, I'm catastrophizing a bit. But I'm also coming to terms with how very disabled I've always been. (1/2)

I forgot to take my stomach med last night and this morning I decided to wear hard pants. I am so uncomfortable right now! Oof! I just want to be home under a heating pad.

Lots of commentary about what won't save people and almost nothing specific about how people might save themselves. The intellectual exhaustion is something to behold.

Genuine question: What changes our values? Like, specific tactics that influence and/or shift people's values

It's not a question of intelligence, it's a question of values. You can't persuade someone who is committed to a set of values that justify their cruelty.

That one poem needs to be updated: First they came for trans kids and I said nothing, for I was federally funded.

For sure it's coordinated. First, billionaires own most of the media. Second, watch headlines about topics you know about. They constantly gaslight and misdirect attention. Third, they consistently freeze out reporting on things like protests that we all really need to know about.
