I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Just called my US rep to urge the strongest possible action against Musk. I hate phone calls, but it wasn’t that hard! I used a script available from 5calls.org, and recommend it to anyone who wants to contact their representatives but feels nervous about it.

I'm simply uninterested in class reductionist rejections of intersectionality. You cannot have a unified working class without recognizing that different marginalized and racialized groups have distinct needs that must be respected. Arguing otherwise isn't class consciousness, it's white supremacy.

At a baby shower for a very dear friend who has struggled with fertility as much as I have. I wouldn’t miss sharing her joy, but oof, having to hear dozens of strangers cooing over cute baby stuff is not easy.
