Since we have had lots of new people join lately, a little intro: civil rights + employment attorney in northern Virginia/DC. Born and raised in Mississippi and also had a beloved stint in New Orleans for law school. I will tweet smart things sometimes but also there will be Pokémon.
Undeniable. This is where my sick angry feeling is coming from today.
Men don’t call a woman a fucking bitch when they’re afraid for their lives—they say it when they hate us. They say it when they’re punishing us.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

getting into college football is easy because you can base your opinions on the politics of each institution. referring to your school as “ole miss” and naming yourself the rebels is enough to earn my disdain for life

Past Lives is my 2023 favorite too. Perfect movie.

My firmest belief about holiday food is that people who say turkey is bad are telling on themselves. I prepped this bird in a hotel room with a kitchenette. It’s trussed with my sister’s crochet yarn. And it is absolutely delicious. (Roasting pan is empty bc I used the drippings to make gravy 😋).

Tomorrow is another day to do the work and carry the light in honor of those who carried it before us. We can’t let them down, so we don’t give up. We’ll get up tomorrow. 💙

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Feeling completely justified for staying in the cozy bed with Bootsy this snowy morning.
A pet sleeping next to you feeling so safe and comfy is genuinely the most any human can really ask for

It makes you feel like maybe you aren’t so bad. You might even be good

It seems PPSE has gotten even worse than I experienced in my brief stint there in 2014/2015 (I didn’t even make it a year 😬).

IMO: let it rot so that more worthy organizations can take its place. @yellowfund.bsky.social has been leading the way for years now.

My dog’s face when I tell him to at least pretend to have some shame about how much he wants to go lick the dribbles out of his sister’s food bowl. “Who, me?”

The major flaw of the second half is the lack of Lucy Liu so it’s sorta downhill from here if you ask me.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Fully expected to write a whole-ass complaint today before I start my vacation only to discover @joshuaerlich.bsky.social and I had actually written it in July. Been through several edits even. This is the nicest thing past Josh or past me has ever done for current me. A Thanksgiving miracle.
