images Dr. Bones and Mr. Spock from Star Trek having a conversation. Text: Bones - Did you hear RFK Jr blamed tylenol for autism? Spock- Illogical. Acetaminophen does not cause autism. Bones - Well then what are we supposed to tell parents of neurodivergent kids? Spock - Tell them they have a bright future in Starfleet.

EVERYTHING is political and everyone knows it. Grateful that there are so many pathways to resistance.

My heart/body is able to show up and rebel-rouse. My pockets are full of homemade homemade fabric patches in thanks for the power of the people. 🪧

Since we can't beam up from our reality of moral inversion & Charlie Foxtrottery - shall we tend to the work of liberation?

We can join the collective power of boycotting the big-boxes while also vetting/shopping the small business we love.

Honoring that the most vulnerable cannot afford to untangle from the big machine meeting their essential needs.

Time to challenge paradigms & reconsider our consumption.

Quote from @chasemycreations "They're slashing through our public services like a wildfire, with not regard for the many lives they are affecting. The very agencies that safeguard our live, our land, and our future are being dismantled, piece by piece. We're being sold the lie of "efficiency" while they rob us of security, safety, and stability. If this doesn't radicalize you, nothing will."

Action! May we be a Bérenger among complaisant thespians during our live performances of Ionesco's Theatre of the Absurd.

Fun FACT #1: The United States was not founded to be an official Christian nation or to espouse any official religion at all.

Fun FACT #2: The U.S. Constitution is a wholly secular document.

at the root of our social solidarity declining is the fear and devaluing of empathy. having the capacity to understand walking in another's steps is good for us. may we continue to honor and take care of our empathy health.

Our diverse & complex stories matter. Storytelling is vital to human connection. Esp the stories of ppl who have historically been excluded & silenced. May each of us find the balance between vulnerability & self-protection.

PS: erasing history and people's lived experience is a control tactic.

Some of us are Really-really feeling just how Personal the Political really is.

We can both champion our causes & prioritize our wellbeing.

Staying rooted in the order of facts is sharpening my attention during the unsettling chaos.

❓ What's everyone doing on 1/20? An extraordinary day of holding multiple truths.

One can recognize our country's hard truths AND also 🚫 the ceremonial display of the impending horror. Me & mine have never been more committed to the hunger of love and justice & the need for community care.
