You think of space and think of new kinds of war and colonialism. I think of space and imagine other planets sending Earth healing energy. We have certainly diverged.
So much new angst. Join the fxcking club. Let me delete this app.

If you are not sure what to do, start by taking a break from the news.

Then look at how you and your community will be affected and help in the ways that you can.

Small actions make a big difference.

Let's give our time and attention to the people being hurt, not the people hurting others.

BOYCOTT ETSY until they stop carrying “Alligator Alcatraz” merchandise. Also, a strongly worded message to the CEO is warranted. His contact: jsilverman@etsy.com

Ugh. Lost "Treadmill Battle" miserably today. A very bronze man in knee socks bodied me with Duck Walks. Damn.

Damn. I've gotta stop opening this app. It's "police car lights behind me"-level of anxiety inducing.
Keep forgetting surviving shit like this is in my DNA.

On the Arsenio Hall Show, Macho Man Randy Savage had a GREAT answer to the question if he ever cried.

Happy Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

I’ll have more on this later, but over this weekend my colleagues and I brought 50 Comanche teens to Colorado to see some of their homelands for the very first time.

Thank you to the Nation, the parents, and the kids for this gift of your presence. I cried harder today than I have in years.

My daughter, drawing: “this is a pirate”
Me: “oh does he have a sword?”
Daughter: “*HE*?!?!?!?!?”

Kid is learning early how to call out my implicit biases, good for her!

I feel like people need reminding: We have acknowledged #Juneteenth here for generations, without acknowledgement from the federal gov’t or corporate sponsorship. We will continue to do so. Them folks can only gentrify our holiday if we let them.
Some background:
