Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

I think that superhero movies have done a number of human beings conditioning some people to believe that extraordinary actions are what matter. And if one can't be a superhero, then simple, ordinary efforts aren't worth doing.

One year ago today, I arrived at @angryblacklady.blacksky.app’s house for an extended trip. “Come for the election and stay for thanksgiving!”
One year later, I’m a full fledged Colorado resident, living my happiest Rocky Mountain Queers life with the love of my life.

Fellow people who feel things in very big ways, we are not supposed to be living like this, so give yourself grace on the days where the anxiety that you are a problem or in the way gets too loud.

Sort of splitting hairs there, but sure.
And I agree with the general sentiment; No MAGA without white dudes.
Measure it with a "some" or even "a lot of" or even something temporal like "recently".
Declaring it in broad terms without a scope and it's just a lazy prejudicial racist view.
