Oh, and about that breaking out of my writer’s block… my first Substack post. 🥰 This Substack is becoming a labor of love, and so excited… with my first post dedicated (accidentally, as it wasn’t intended) to my bestie. Thank you C for you inspiring me

It has been forever since I’ve been on here. Doing more “boots on the ground” community work, and finally busting through a writer’s block!

Using the ice storm of the day working on some of my pile of “want to do’s” with some embroidery mending. Thick thighs + motorcycle = denim mending!

Know Black history, share Black history, make sure your children are aware of Black history (and don't assume their schools teach that much, even in the North. it's sad).

Recommend a Black History Month read of Driving The Green Book. Fascinating, shocking, powerful.

Felt it in Central-Eastern NH. Shook frames on exterior walls of our small colonial. Curious of any wave activity being centered off coast.
Did you feel it? Much of Massachusetts and New England felt a rumble early Monday morning from an earthquake centered off the coast of Maine https://www.wcvb.com/article/did-you-feel-it-earthquake-rattles-parts-of-massachusetts-new-england/63571523

While on TT until they close the doors, love ❤️ Hillmantok/UniversityTok and supporting! First class and book in my studies is from Dr. Anthony Michael’s Intro to CRT class: The Racial Contract, by Charles W. Wells. My white 🍑 is listening reading and in class!

To my DISABILITY COMMUNITY in the FEDERAL workforce:

I know you are scared and frightened of retaliation. The stories of Federal workers being terminated for not having their reasonable accommodations met are DISGUSTING. I PLEAD for you to come forward & share info. Our country needs your voices.🙏💜

Today I learned this book exists. I downloaded the audiobook and will be reviewing it whenever I finish it on my YouTube channel.

A few months off of all Meta and I’ve concluded one thing: those that whine about not connecting with me because “there’s no other way,” yet have my number to simply text like we did on messenger… that I obviously did the work of “connecting.”

Damn it! NH cannot afford this type of legislation now, with the homeless rates!! Damn it!! Really need further legislation over STRs and throwing our seniors out of their homes for AirBnB/Vrbs sake!!!

Current WIP. After a few years hiatus, I picked up a sock knit. Socked have always been a favorite, especially an old 12 step pattern that was given to me by a 12 step grand-sponsor to do at 12 step meetings. a thing 🤭🥰. It’s been forever, so since I’ve been wanting to catch up on YouTubers, why not

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

Next on the agenda: finish data and statistics ahead of Point In Time (PIT) count of area homeless this week. The data and stats take my mind off of things, BUT! The stats bring the proof and funding, the reality is hard. It’s cold and too many hurting folks in this state/country-not just numbers!

Seeing that I’m not the only one feeling so dysregulated, and why i find the online Autistic communities comforting.

Took the morning to add some added Latin dance to my fitness routine and shake it out! Probably looked like a wet noodle in my lack of coordination, but at this point it’s what I got

A reminder to my autistic comrades that if you’re more dysregulated than usual, it’s OK to take a break.

It’s ok to go for a walk and disconnect.

And it’s ALSO OK to sit here and express yourself.

Whatever works for you and brings you back to grounding.

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

This is a generational fight. If you think this is going to be fixed after a Blue Wave in 2026, you’re not being realistic. I’m begging you to put down the AI slop memes and be realistic.
