I'm a large-bodied, sci-fi-loving, queer woman. For work, I help end homelessness. For fun, I travel, binge tv, nap, grieve, write poetry, do memorable things, etc.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

A month ago, my faux son moved back in with me. Being back in faux mom mode has had some rollercoaster moments. I love this "kid." He stays full of jokes, feels so much, and is working his ass off to meet some of his goals. ❤️❤️❤️

Enjoy the screenshot of our generation gap moment from this week. 🤣🤣🤣

About to join a meeting for a new employee explaining my role as a Continuum of Care Coordinator, which oversees the homelessness response for a region and is mostly funded through HUD. Meanwhile, thinking in the back of my mind, will I lose my job because of the federal gov't sometime this year?

Growing up, I was told that the demise of Christianity would be caused by our country rejecting God.

Now I believe it is actually caused by Christians blatantly rejecting the teachings of Jesus for the sake of political power.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

I work as the SW Continuum of Care (CoC) Coordinator. I help manage the homelessness response for 18 counties in Minnesota. My position and those of other Coordinators across this country are funded through federal HUD grants. Homelessness is rising and the programs that help alleviate it may end.
I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.

We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm.

Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Was just going to quote my former foster son in a convo on here and then abbreviate him on his next line as ffs but that means something different...slightly.

Just sending everyone one of the cards my mom has amassed through the years for donating to random charities. In case my holiday card to you seems way more, for example, patriotic or super-christiany or says "In your honor, a tree is being planted in one of America's forests," etc. Using them up!

Made a Spotify playlist of holiday music and Kendrick Lamar titled GNXmas. It is the perfect December playlist for me.

So, my faux son (former foster) and his gf are coming for xmas this year. Excited to give him some good holiday moments. Not excited for less holiday-themed grieving on my first xmas w/o my sister.

Got the perfect earrings to go with my guillotine tattoo. Super pleased with my late stage capitalism wardrobe choices.
