if you’re looking to organize mutual aid in your community, but you feel like no one cares: go find the retired church ladies that’re obsessed with gardening and potlucks I’m dead serious. (the nice ones) will help you get started

random skills I didn’t expect to be helpful in mutual aid • food handling certification • keeping a planner • being friendly • active listening • patience / grace / politeness • knowing when to rest !!! • folding paper (zines) • note taking (for meetings) • graphic design • copy writing • research

Thou shalt not let RFK Jr. be in charge of health, or anything.

TB is the deadliest infection TB infections can have no symptoms (latent TB) Good news 🥳 1.) TB is testable 2.) TB is preventable if you’ve been exposed 3.) TB is treatable when caught on time There is no shame in testing. There is no shame in being sick. Care is for everyone. #tuberculosis

I’m the queen of getting super into this app for a month and then forgetting about it for 3 months 👑💅

We're tracking Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) which has existed among wild bird populations in Massachusetts since 2022. Risk of human infection is currently low. Avoid contact with sick, injured, or dead birds and report it to mass.gov/reportbirds or call 311. #BirdFlu #AvianFlu

Here is how we know that vaccines do not cause autism The facts are available, if you look for them 🛟 medsky 🧪 😷 idsky sociology

talked with Abdullah last night about an article he’s writing about what public health can learn from grassroots organizing in what is going to be an embattled few years. don’t wanna scoop his piece but I do wanna highlight one thing that I think will serve us

this year, I’m making more zines

Happy new year! 🥳 and turn your Signal notification previews off! 📵🚫🕵️‍♂️

I found my kindle charger, it’s a Christmas miracle!

We have achieved a great 81% and there is little left my friends We only have 19% left to reach our goal. If 694 people donate a small amount of 25£, we will reach our goal. If you share this post and we reach everyone. Just repost and u will be a big reason gofund.me/a625d5ba

I really want to learn how to help Tent Cities. I’ve chatted w homeless folks in my old city, but never made real neighborly relationships. I want to learn how to do that safely w folks in my city.

“He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest staged perp walk I've ever seen in my career. What was the mayor doing at this press conference.. the mayor should know more than anyone about the presumption of innocence that he, too, is afforded when he is dealing with his own issues.”

Netanyahu will not be at the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz because he is wanted for war crimes by the court that was created after Auschwitz to prosecute war criminals.

Amazon literally flooding the the Teamster’s union picket line… as if those union busters could dampen the flames of freedom and solidarity!

btw Luigi's set on legal funds so if you're feeling moved to support him, it would be sooooo cute to support a community bail fund or legal fund in his name! 😇 two good options: atlsolidarity.org communityjusticeexchange.org/en/nbfn-directory

Fun reminder time! They can’t and won’t cancel student loan debt, because much like 2008, they have bundled all of our debt together with mortgage back securities in order to take loans out on them that they never seem to have to pay back

just had an amazing 1:1, it was my first time doing one of these! so excited to help people join our mutual aid group 💞💞 #mutualaid #solidarity #organizing #communitybuilding #leftist #foodpantry

I’m so curious what Musk gets out of the belief in a future homicidal AI - what does this fear mongering give men like him?

😮‍💨 whew, late night organizing and cleaning the food pantry, but worth it 🤍 did the revolutionary act of labeling shelves so people actually know where to put rescued items LOL not done yet but making good progress ❤️ #mutualaid #solidarity #communitybuilding #organizing #foodpantry

please mask and wash your hands and test if you don’t feel well. so many people are getting sick and getting others sick. stay home if you’re sick. exposing countless workers to illness so you can get your holiday shopping done or whatever is gross.

sometimes I think about that Wendy Williams doc and as someone who had a loved one with dementia, I think it’s so wrong to have published that. I refuse to watch it are we doing this to Bruce Willis? no. so why are we doing this to Wendy?

Happy Solstice to all those who believe the Earth has an axis.

best newscast I’ve ever seen prison inmates get interviewed about Luigi Mangione - but it’s unplanned. the inmates are watching the live newscast, the reporter ends up asking them questions on air, and they yell back the answers sending all my love to these inmates 💞 youtu.be/QCml-w9MQ7Y?...

Trump is used as a man in the limelight to take the attention off of shady politicians and the rich. He is a distraction. Do you know about Stop Cop City? Child labor law reversals? The BioLab fires? Local lead exposure? Do you know how to organize and protect your communities?

if you or someone you know is a public health worker in Louisiana, please ask a lawyer about what you can do and say. it’s not the time to be silent

That's what I'm talking about!!! $10,000 raised to support the trans community in 24 hours. With the match, that's 2,000 trans folks who will get a 1-year of supplies needed to take HRT. 🥰 🏳️‍⚧️ Thank you all, so, so much! Keep donating and sharing, we're just getting stated!
