Today is the day of Remembrance for Trans people. The reason we need such a day is because of all the people who died as the result of hatred. Please reflect on that when politicians pass laws to harm more Trans people and stand up against the hate.

Each of us really can decide to do a little something every day to lessen suffering (including our own).

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."

THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

I just went down a rabbit hole about time banks and I’m declaring it a new special interest!

Huge reason why oldest daughters end up providing care tbh
I'm regularly having to deal with an older man who for his whole life had the traditional male deal, but recently lost it because of the severe physical and mental illness of his female partner. And yeah, he absolutely experiences it as an actual injustice. Like, HOW can he be expected to do this?

We need less "I'm autistic and I work/pay taxes" in response to RFK Jr's comments and more "autistic people are still valuable even if they can't do those things." We can't leave anyone behind in our efforts to "prove" a eugenicist wrong.

The language HCPs use when talking about people with complex issues is telling. Just heard the medical director of MAID NLHS refer to very complex cases as train wrecks. Infuriating!!

If you find yourself believing better is possible and everyone has good intentions-- I don't recommend deciding to demonstrate for as long as it takes to see big change. Cynicism comes for you and eats you alive. 212 weeks.
