What a beautiful thing, that I saw this tonight, after having a similar (if longer) exchange with someone very close to me who has caused a great deal of pain in the last year

There is always hope while we are able and willing to return to and welcome each other with kindness
An “I love you and I’m sorry” goes such a long way.

The entire psychology of ICE and their supporters can be summed up by DARVO.
"We've seen over a thousand percent increase in assaults on ICE officers, 8,000 verbal assaults on them...."

if i could give one broad direction to people: stop being afraid of doing something. take some initiative. find a group near you. pick up the boxes that need hauling. bring food. take out the trash.

see a need that is unmet? get some friends together and do the thing.

organize your niche.

“I have a theory about coming out. That you won’t do it unless you fear losing the love of someone else. Everything else is bearable otherwise.”

I always look forward to @alexanderchee.bsky.social’s newsletter, but today’s is absolutely brilliant. If you read one thing today, make it this.
In which @alexanderchee.bsky.social writes beautifully (as always) about the way Heated Rivalry has become a fragment shored against the ruin of almost everyone's mental health, and the artistic and narrative joys of both its universality and its specificity. open.substack.com/pub/querent/...

Just saw a news brief that said Drumpf wants to acquire Greenland, and like, Greenland isn't a sofa you're picking out at IKEA.

Told someone I’ve been editing to just figure out what they want to say and write that, and I’ve never wanted to punch myself in the face so hard.
