I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And that's why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

A struggle many trauma survivors don't talk about-- because we don't want to seem "weak" or "immature"-- is just getting up & facing the day. You need to know you're not alone-- & you're not hopeless-- if you have a harder time literally getting out of bed than you let on.

Librarians are going to be your conduits to community education and liberty with all these cuts to education. Fight like Hell to keep your libraries going. Show them support. Get library cards, and if your states and towns aren't protecting them, MAKE NOISE.

I need you to remember that fear is a reflex. We don't "choose" fear. There is no shame in fear. You're experiencing a conditioned response-- no more, no less. Your "choice" is in how you talk to yourself & support your inner child through this fearful moment. Breathe. Breathe.

If you're doomscrolling: - Hydrate! - Check to see if you're muting and/or blocking enough. Trust me, you'll still stay informed. - Check out your Quiet Posters feed. I just did; temp & volume is calmer there. - Check out the bloomscrolling & photography tags. Boost those who are using alt text!

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

I urge everyone reading this to keep your spirits high and to make up your Goddamn mind to be a steel-spined, unrelenting, ultra-resilient, super-charged, motherfucker on wheels. Toss every thought of, "I can't," out on its ass with such a fierceness that those thoughts wither and die on the vine.

Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent of all Trump’s Cabinet picks. He's an alcoholic serial abuser who is unqualified for the job, and he will make our nation less safe. This was a completely reckless confirmation.
