Every American institution and system has been organized around men who felt entitled to insulate themselves from death, disability, discomfort, and even minor inconvenience with the bodies of any living thing that they could dominate.

Depression is a protective urge; a chemical drive to return you to the safety of your innermost den to wait for a storm to pass, a bone to knit, a wound to heal. Civilization provides eternal psychic wounds from which there is no relief to be found in retreat, a storm which will never blow away.

Guess I'm getting old, but I prefer when folks move slow and build things and when research is correct rather than fast. Any idiot can break things and be wrong real quick.

There's never a bad time to execute your ideas & to move from theory to action. This is a particularly good time for this. If you think that you know how to do a thing, do that thing. No permission needed. Try it out.

I am so thankful that AOC gives us feedback on what is actually happening in congress, on the platforms where people actually will hear the message, and I wish more politicians did so Calling reps feels like it's not doing anything but it does make a real impact!

This is what gets me about the Dems. Show some creativity. Demand that things be changed and refuse to shut up until it happens. Find every loophole and erect every barrier, because that's what the right does every damn day

i know it's not fashionable to say it but I am actually pro establishments and i think unironically we don't realize how much we benefit from them because we only think about them when they do bad things to us, which they obviously do, but 90% of them are good and do net good

Looks like once again it's time to purge the doom posters from my following list We had a good run of less-panicking, folks, but harder times than this could be ahead and I want to surround myself with the helpers

almost anything that you don't know how to do is a learnable skill. It is just a matter of asking for help or seeking out guidance, and actually taking the time to learn and practice. This is true for careers, art, hobbies, even emotional and interpersonal issues.

all of the people you think are braver or stronger than you are also have moments where they feel scared, unsure, or at a loss. doing the thing while kicking, screaming, or crying about it is still doing the thing. it's still bravery.

A bit of unsolicited advice: sometimes people feel drawn to apply their efforts in the spaces they are most activated. I encourage folks to consider focusing their actions on the spaces you are most skilled, most grounded, most intact.

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

Rupture+repair is always harder than outright rejecting. and a lot of folks don't know how to do it. Black and white thinking is easier than bridging a divide. It still requires having boundaries. You're not "coddling Nazis", you're welcoming a neighbor to give them the option of NOT going Nazi.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

"We are tiny parts of a more complex system than we can ever comprehend. (...) We will never see all that our actions have perpetuated in this world. Our inhalations. Our exhalations. This is why life is sacred." thank you @shrinkthinks.bsky.social. will meditate on that quote from Hildegard 🙏✨

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

when shit feels particularly bad i remember a concert i went to for the band RIOTNINE where they got a room full of trans people screaming “DEATH BEFORE DETRANSITION”. it was and still is one of the most moving moments in my life and it’s been on my mind today

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts. The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails. The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.
