Today and all days, remember to pour into the relationships now that you need for the version of yourself you wish to become, not for one you used to be.

The past is instructive, but don't waste your limited water on dead and dying flowers. There are new ones blooming and seedlings to be nurtured.

Gentle reminder that you don't owe ANYONE your presence or participation in holiday events. Your limited time is yours to govern, and during a season which already brings so much fraught energy, it only makes sense to prioritize your peace.

This year, abandon tradition & embrace authenticity 🖤✨️

"The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has proposed a rule that would prohibit lenders from repossessing medical devices such as wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs if people can't repay their loans."

...Gives infuriating new meaning to "crippling debt." 😑

In this country, the Golden Rule appears to be: Whoever has the gold makes the damn rules SMH

wow, this is astounding but not surprising given the general trend of social media platforms suppressing Palestine voices

Yesterday Israel bombed Gaza city, Jabalia, Rafah and al Nuseirat, killing at least 40 Palestinians. Among the targets were two shelters for displaced families.

The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.

Let's fucking go! 🔥

US media is the propaganda arm of the empire. Nothing more.
They have spent over a year telling you that the Holocaust in Gaza is a good and righteous mission. They organized their defense of the killers and the killing of every indigenous person, including children, as a political necessity.
Evil.

Please don't let those around you warning about Project 2025 ignore the fact that it's already starting now, under the current administration, without them doing a damn thing to stop it.

The vulture class is 100% united in wanting to quell the growing revolutionary fervor. They will not though😤

Y'all know that the reason lots of Black people can't swim has nothing to with muscle density or fear of the water but because white folks removed all of the local swimming areas and cut off access to beaches, etc when it meant that we would be able to use them, right??

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed the first case of severe bird flu in the United States: A patient hospitalized in Louisiana

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.

There is nothing wrong with being "needy" or "demanding" - you just need friends & partners who are interested in/able to meet those needs in a way that works.

We are in an individualistic society where people are only taught to care about themselves so it's tough, but be honest & everyone wins💓

9/10 times, authority/authority figures in this world are to be distrusted from jump. But in the rare places and spaces where queer folk & BIPOC have managed, somehow, to beat all of the obstacles we face in order to have some agency and leadership, you need to be more humble than you're used to.

To my white comrades & collaborators, especially those with anti-authoritarianism as a core belief:

Your disdain for authority helped you break the shackles which keep other folks like you trapped, which is amazing. Pls don't become so dogmatic you undermine BIPOC leaders bc they are in charge.

Science @science.org magazine's Breakthrough of the Year is fantastic: an HIV-prevention drug protects people for six months at a time and in two clinical trials showed 99.9% and 100% (!) efficacy in preventing infection www.science.org/content/arti... by @cohenjon.bsky.social 🧪

Your periodic reminder as we go into the holiday season that the only safe amount of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 is zero.

Quality masks work to prevent the spread of airborne illness, yet everyone up to and including medical professionals wearing them daily for decades somehow forgot this?
