So, financially speaking, this last couple of years has kicked my ass. I've employed part-time and my food/housing are secure, but I am not in a position to meet some other necessary expenses coming this month. If you're so inclined & in a position to lend a hand, I would be very appreciative.

When this is over:

Every single incident must be investigated and prosecuted.

And every single member of the Trump regime must be investigated and prosecuted.

Not prosecuting Nixon and Trump is what got us here.

Normalize checking people‘s accounts before you reply to them. If they’re replying to you with incendiary shit and you see that they have no posts on their feed — block them. they WANT the engagement & your reaction. They want to sew Discord. They are, in fact, both a purposeful agitator and a plant

“Dead Rising: Watchtower” is a mess of a movie, but Meghan Ory emotes so much a glance or side eye, especially when the male lead is obnoxious (which happens a lot).

Always fun interacting with people who's primary response to most interactions is being snarkily dismissive.
Super-fun.
Not at all exhausting.
Definitely people I want involved in my recreational activities.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.
