In case it needs to be said, I love being an islander of the Pacific ocean 💙 I may complain a lot but that feeling is always the predominant background coloring of my thoughts and tone, for those who are new here.

Tinfoil hat time.
So was “Mrs” and “Ms” made up by men so men will know the marital status of women?
Meanwhile men only have to use “Mr”

I don’t think people should be looking at their 30s as a deadline for marriage or success , it’s okay to want those things but life can have a way of panning out differently than expected

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I try to read a book about a topic that's really interesting to me, but the language is so dry and academic I just can't get through it.
I don't want to read about imaginaries and futurities and epistemologies - just give me plain English! 😭

I can't help but notice that like half the replies here are from disabled/chronically ill people who have been pushed out of organizing spaces by groups that refuse to wear masks or take other covid precautions. 😭
Sincere question and I hope we can make a safe place for this discussion, are there people out there who feel like they don't know how to get involved and make a difference?
What do you feel like the barriers are for you getting involved in organizing?
Have you tried and failed?

For the last 3 years 2 mos 8 days you've supported my journey to be part of the Black midwifery renaissance in the US through food and housing insecurity and many MANY moves.
I put all those resources back into training, instruments, and medications. A car is the last piece and I'm $6172 from goal.

I’ve never cared about popularity contests, like yes I worked hard in the past to be in special spaces, but I see artists get gassed out quickly or give up just cos they don’t feel like they’re getting enough attention…makes me question what is the point of their art then
