Hi, yes, hello. This space is about learning and healing. I educate with grace. I lead with grace. I will at times have posts that are for teaching moments. When you see those, please take a scroll to see what work has been done so we continue to move forward.

When I see “Set aside race so we can address bigger issues”, what’s being said is that race and the racism that comes with it aren’t big enough issues to be considered.
And that often tells me everything I need to know about the person making that statement.

She’s gonna say “why did you post this?!”
And my answer will be “because I like to share photos from when my first thought is ‘I’m gonna marry this woman.’”

Ok Bluesky, talk to me about your dishwasher. I have to buy a new dishwasher. And everyone is saying Bosch 500 or 800 series but do I need to spend $1400 on a dishwasher? People also say “buy Miele. Top of the line.” I definitely don’t want to spend 2K on a dishwasher.

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.
This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!

What does Black joy look like? it looks like rest. It looks like watching Doctor Who with the loml.
I still don’t like the holidays, but I dislike them a lot less now that I am sharing them with @portianoir.com.

How much antiblackness are we supposed to deal with on a regular basis before nonBlack people will agree that the racism was beyond the pale.
What’s it gonna take. I want facts and figures. How many slurs per day should we have to suffer before it’s ok not to feel sorry for some dumb white broad.

“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

She has a telehealth appointment this afternoon (quickest to be seen), and we’re fully prepared to take her in for any scans necessary.
Whatever is causing this dumb headache it's not dehydration because I drank 128 oz of water yesterday. I almost had Portia drive me to the ER at midnight but I didn't want to deal with the cost and I didn't think the headache was bad enough even though it was really really bad. *grumble*

I wrote this thread in a fury. I neglected to note that trans men also need knowledge about menopause. As do nonbinary people.

If they hadn’t burned all the witches and midwives back in the day, we’d probably know more about perimenopause and menopause right now. We know fuck all about a condition that half the population goes through because men are a bunch of plonkers*
