Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

Colvin explained, "I could not move, because history had me glued to the seat. . . It felt like Sojourner Truth’s hands were pushing me down on one shoulder & Harriet Tubman’s hands were pushing me down on another shoulder, & I could not move." Rosa Parks raised money for her case.

And related: don't amke assumptions and just buy/deliver shit.
So many people after our house fire did this. Your assumptions, even if you went through similar, do not mean that's what these people need.
Odds are, they'll feel obligated to accept and be stuck with crap they can't use/eat.

Mpls: If you are working to support neighbors right now I *highly* suggest avoiding the generic "let me know what you need" and instead asking/offering directly:
"I'm going to the store. Send me a list."
"Do you need shampoo? Fruit? Toilet paper?"
"Can I help with your laundry?"
"I'm going to the store. Send me a list."

Be who you are & go where it’s natural to be a part of change. I like books. So I make myself a part of my bookstore’s community & my library’s community & champion them. I use reading to help me think through the world, & I put fiction & poetry out to use beauty to confront the world & reach folks.

Calls for civility are often weaponized by abusers, by bigots, by those who would oppress you. If it is considered impolite to speak out against dishonor, then it is time for a true warrior to be rude.

No one's bought anything for 2 weeks and I'm out of money so I'm starting my January #MutualAid a few days early. I'm a disabled person who can't work a real job and can't get SSDI. I rely on never-enough knitting sales and this to survive.
