I've been taking some time away following the peaceful passing of a family member 🕯️🤍🕊️ June was a foster child who became a nurse until her retirement. She was a lifelong cat lover and a loving Aunt. 😻 She had a great laugh. She took no shit. Rest in power, June 💕🌻

If you're still using period tracker apps, stop

If you need to digitally track them, call it something else. Visit with your aunt

If you're helping someone access abortion pills, no you aren't. You're buying groceries

If you're taking someone out of State for abortion, you're visiting family

This government’s attempt to take the “T” and “QIA+” from LGBTQIA+ is horrifying, but also genuinely pathetic. They’re so irrelevant, folks. *We* make those definitions. Not the other way around. Natives have been here.

The next generation won’t stand for this erasure. Be loud, make art, make love.

If you’re curious on this, look up when the government suddenly “decided” Native tribes and names didn’t exist anymore in the 1950s, and thus the government didn’t have to uphold any treaties because we “weren’t real.” It didn’t work (Look up Termination Era.)

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

CDC removing information on preventing chronic disease.

An uninformed public is a danger to the rest of the world. Viruses don’t care about borders.
They’ve removed some articles on preventing chronic disease, too. This is one of them:

Some things you can do. No one can do all these things, but most people can do at least one:

Feed people. There's work for you at Food Not Bombs or whatever you got going on where are.
Join a local cop watch, ICE watch, or rapid response group.
Who's being targeted in your area? Have their back.

If we can make it to HALF of our goal today we can continue our lives on without a CRISIS tonight.

If we can make it ALL the way to our goal we can make our lives actively a little bit easier.

Every bit helps! 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜
The good news is all of our bills for the month have been paid.

The bad news is we cleared that with barely any margin, and a HUGE PILE of UN-MET NEEDS!!!

Anything you give helps me & the kids! THANK YOU!!!

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before

I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

You are powerful

Hope when it seems irrational to hope

Dare to envision & write & draw & dance & move & talk & be about your vision of peace

Let it be informed by stories and art of other revolutionary liberatory dreamers

Take care of each other & together we will create it over generations

When will they learn we cannot all be burned

By Lilia Joy

There will always be survivors
Or children
Who grow up
Like seeds
And become us
Like weeds
We're endemic and essential

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.

But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.

Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.

Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.
