Divorcing an abusive husband made me an abolitionist eco-feminist. There is more revolutionary politics in inner family systems therapy than you realize. I love reading & writing sci-fi, fantasy, romance, poetry, and comedy.
If you could cast any spell right now, what would it be?

I absolutely love that someone thought this terrible pun was a good idea for their Halloween decor

Newsom’s spokesperson openly taunted a reporter asking why the governor’s office wasn’t complying with the California Public Records Act. Thanks for sharing @calmatters.org

I told my boyfriend about the #CrackerBarrel controversy and he said, “Cracker is a slur for white person. So when I look at the original logo, it seems a man has kidnapped a white person and trapped them in a barrel. Therefore the original logo was more anti-racist and we should demand its return.”

This line in particular caught my attention. I can’t believe this is our reality

Newsom isn’t just mocking the Trump playbook: he’s actually using it. The Trump-style tweets from his press office come alongside a relentless push for the criminalization of homeless encampments and other Trump-like policies.

Please read this note by a homeless person on the impact of sweeps!

I see the Great Recession tanks everyone, a gradual recovery from the Great Recession across multiple presidencies, and it crossing into positive shortly before the 2021 inauguration. Post 2021 the change is hard to see with naked eye, I zoomed in and I kinda saw it maybe?

They were really adamant about calling MLK Jr an extremist and he absolutely did not deny it. This is what he said:

The guy suing the Jerusalem Cafe has a history of loud public conflict in front of his child (the incident in the screenshot was not politically related— just road rage). I think I share the worry about his kids, and I am not surprised that no welfare check occurred.

The AI Con by @alexhanna.bsky.social & @emilymbender.bsky.social is blowing my mind! Knowing IQ tests were hijacked by eugenic racist forces to turn “intelligence” into a concept of oppression makes me understand why White House is saying things like “DEI is an existential threat to AI.”

I love being lectured on morality by our robot overlords

As true today as when MLK first wrote it— upper class whites craft philosophy that leads to lower class racism

Sofia Nelson misses you. She believes you say things for political gain and not because you mean them.

About five million protested, and the total population of the USA is 340 million. That means 1.5% of the population took to the streets.
