Disabled nurse, voracious reader, infertility struggler (fuck that warrior nonsense). It's never too late to start wearing a mask again.

The longer I work with kids, the more I come to understand that the most critical factors in a child's learning/success are a full belly, a safe home, a good night's rest, and a home that values education. Everything else is tinkering.

Never forget how this terrorism works.

Whether organizers, activists, or immigrant targets, they want people terrified not just for their own lives but at the thought of what will happen to their children.

I’ve been ending every 3rd sentence with “like I told you because I’m clairvoyant” for the last 48 hrs but it’s really the pattern recognition.

With RFK Jr again further reducing access to vaccines, your regular reminder that now would be a good time to restart wearing a high quality mask regularly again for an added layer of protection from airborne diseases.

The average child sexual predator looks like the average, church-going husband or father—the very person many faith communities think is safest and most worthy of significant power over others.
Who Is The Average Child Sexual Predator?
Child molesters are as equally married, educated, employed, and religious as any other Americans.

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

the American opioid crisis is almost entirely the work of Purdue Pharmaceuticals and the Sackler family of murderous profiteers, but because Americans can't imagine anything being their fault, we've invaded Venezuela over it

I think we need to be able to balance the reactions "this is another expression of 250 years of American imperialism" and "what do you MEAN we kidnapped the president of Venezuela and renditioned him to the US and are now claiming to run the country"

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks”

whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to”

don’t give them cover on it

Please remember that as this happens, women are also being stripped of the right to control their own bodies, young women are being pushed into tradwife bullshit, and a new generation of conservative men increasingly argue that women shouldn’t even have the right to vote

I have done the hard work of therapy and healing and growth. I have tried to love myself and my body more. I have worked to internalize, with varying degrees of success, that it was not my fault.

But the experience proved that at the end of “passing” is just being a woman. From pariah to property.

Breaking news isn't a reason to skip alt text. Alt text is MORE important in a crisis.

Imagine how disorienting this is, now imagine not being able to see what all these viral posts depict.

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.

If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.

By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

I'm old enough to remember when smoking around others was socially acceptable, in restaurants, bars, workplaces etc. Secondhand smoke was everywhere.

We changed norms once we accepted that shared air = shared risk.

Airborne viruses are no different
