Doing my best to face reality w/ courage, compassion, & community.

Do not mistake non-violence for weakness.
This satellite image of CECOT sure sends some vibes. Even if this is over a year old, they knew exactly what they were doing and where they were sending innocent people.

For as long as it takes, “happy hour” with the girls is going to look a lot like this. Here are a couple favorite signs added to my protest inspo folder this evening.

Not surprised one bit to see scientists among the early heroes standing up for all of us. Looking forward to seeing their report! www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Anyone see this and think he’s giving Kim Jung Un?

Hate to break it to you but that’s sounding like a good deal to me right about now. The only eggs not completely sold out (albeit one rung up from the absolute cheapest grocery store near me) was $12 night before last. 😩

Giving up = obeying in advance. Don’t do it. Besides, political power/action is only one of several types we still have. This article gives a good framework to think about what different players can and must do to use it or lose it, as it were. statuskuo.substack.com/p/is-somebod...

TY, Senator! Keep going until all your colleagues join you w/ their full chest! For those shouting “do something!” this framework was helpful for understanding other power we have even if elected officials act w/ courage. No ONE can save us. All hands on deck! statuskuo.substack.com/p/is-somebod...

Dire as it may be, political is not the only type of power or action we need. I think asking 1930s Germans they’d tell us the same thing and urge us to learn from their mistakes… pretty sure a lot of the ones who survived actually have. statuskuo.substack.com/p/is-somebod...

Finally got to see @anidifranco.bsky.social tonight. Her music helped me survive the transition to adulthood & so many challenging moments since. She played a new song, “You Forgot to Speak Up,” I’d never heard before, or maybe I had but it was sometime last June… things felt different.

Woah, thank you! Realizing that this space is only as good/safe as we allow it to be. If we don’t look out for each other, online or in the streets, we’ll get bullied back into isolation and feeling powerless.

Meant to add this screenshot of one of their slides in the app store 😻 The list of tech & financial admin tasks to stop supporting our oppressors is growing but I keep reminding myself these are minor inconveniences that need to get prioritized.
