If you've been on U.S. federal government websites lately, you may have seen a yellow header complaining about the existence of transgender people.

RMN is one place where you can learn about trans people, lives, and issues in a spiritually + scientifically responsible manner.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Tell stories of courage and action in our constitutional crisis. Avoid turning on each other. Carve out space for beauty and joy. Be in it for the long haul. Set boundaries. Be open to new allies. Set a limit on doomscrolling. Trust in God. Your gifts are for others. Live one day at a time.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Make space to breathe. Let silence envelop you. Practice finding awe in the midst of it all. And stay connected to others. We can't do it all, and we definitely can't do it alone.

We need each other more than ever in these days we are facing.

At the start of 2024 I began documenting mass shootings through fabric in a series of quilts. The navy tallies symbolize a person who has been injured as a result of the incident and a red tally signifies someone who has died as a result of the shooting. For 2025 this will be a collaborative effort.

Hoping for a snowy day in central Alabama. Something so peaceful and magical about snow that makes my heart happy.

We’re all carrying so much trauma. Be tender with all who cross your path today. You may just be the one to offer them healing and hope.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.
