I will get to see BTS this year! This will be my 4th BTS concert and I feel so lucky to have spent the last 8 years as a BTS fan. I have changed so much during that time and it will mean so much to come back together with ARMY and BTS in 2026 after we've all grown and changed in so many ways 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Kamala out there doing the hard work of seeing capitalism being capitalism, and calling it communism.

Fuck her and fuck the Dems for forcing her on us.

Reposting this again bc like — I want to be able to respond in some productive way to every awful thing I see, but we are literally not built for that. So I picked an org in my lane and I’m offering up my skills. Spent an hour today working through the first piece of a new plan. And it felt good.
Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day.

Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

Recovering from pneumonia and pulmonary embolism. It's been a chaotic week. Proud that I listened to my body and got care before things got worse.

And just cuz I'm ill don't mean I can't be cute and enjoy the sun with my dogs 🍄☀️🐶

I love making crochet garments, especially because I'm using yarn I've either thrifted or that's been gifted to me! Making my own clothes is just another way I'm trying to nope the f out of capitalism

Teddy bear with random yarn scraps! It's fun to try to find ways to get creative with the yarn I have instead of buying new yarn 💚

Orca cat I crocheted for a friend! (It's a little cursed lol) Creating stuff and learning new skills along the way is keeping me sane during these times. 🧶🩷

I have been hearing from a lot of people that they feel stuck, frozen or ill-equipped to take action right now, and I wanted to address those feelings. Much love to Aaron Goggans, @shaneburley.bsky.social and @deanspade.bsky.social for sharing their thoughts for this piece.

"Caring for each other and the world around us has been the daily task of our species from time immemorial. And it’s more urgent now than ever. Our opponents have almost all the money and guns. All we have is almost all the people."
Happy Valentine’s Day!! Let’s celebrate by dedicating ourselves to each other and collective liberation 💘💘
