I went to a training on homeless outreach from a trusted org yesterday, and this is a great option for Americans who want to do something irl but can't risk detainment, so let me share what I learned! 🧵
There are a lot of us who are not well-positioned for street activism (in my case, I can't risk detainment because my youngest still mostly depends on breast milk for calories), and discounting work that can be done on digital space isn't just inaccurate, it's shaming of vulnerable people
I have a client stewing in shame about not doing enough to counter anti-trans and fascist actions, paralyzing himself by saying that no action is good enough except for the one he is too socially anxious to do.
For some, sending words might be a small risk that builds momentum for further action.

Reading Lauren Sherman’s “Selling Sexy” as a li’l treat and the audiobook narrator knows how to say “schmatte” but not “Givenchy” or “Guy Bourdin” ???

This is Marcus Birbson. At the start of the pandemic and lockdown, he arrived as young boi at my house in Seattle. I fed him and we've been friends every since. He brought his partner to meet me, and has brought his babies every year as well. It's my entire persona now. Also board games.

Talking with your hands never looked so good. One of a gorgeous pair of gloves, made in England c. 1600-1625. Leather, lined in silk, with embroidered satin cuffs and lace. The sequins sewn into the lace would have made the wearer sparkle as they moved.

Two repeated electoral lessons tonight, same as was true in 2022:
1) Going strong on abortion rights continues to be a winning issue for Dems everywhere.
2) Going strong on anti-trans continues to be somewhere between useless and outright harmful for Republicans everywhere.
