I change the world and so do you
I’m looking for the words.
I type a few syllables.
Erase them, fraught.

I’m doing my best.
I still have to figure out dinner.

I've seen the damage these anti-trans campaigns do.
Straight allies, you need to be talking to your friends at work, at the shooting range, at the dog park, in your book group, at the bar. You need to be having the convos in all the places you have been told "not to talk abt politics" to save lives

That’s funny, I’ve never seen anyone steal food.
Doubt I ever will.
People are stealing food to survive.

I want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear:

This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited.

The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.
On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5

the law, my comrades, is a social construct that too many of you are too invested in to try to "solution-ize" your way to tomorrow rather than build to liberation

At work today, I acted like I knew what was going on and like I cared an awful lot about it.

This has earned me heat shelter food and medical care for another pay period.

A BIG thank you to my high school drama teacher and the old Shakespeare Club at PHS for my continued success!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

See you later, pretty leaves.

We’re trading fall in for a little pop of rain before we deep freeze the drought through Spring.

See you in a while, friends.
Keep up the good work.

White people telling us what’s not legal. Revolting and running away from slavery wasn’t legal either.
