Welcome to friends new and old!

Some of you probably followed me from FB. Others likely from Twitter. Some of y'all are completely new here.

Just so we're clear on what to expect, I'm a Black and Choctaw person of trans masculine experience, so anti-fascist AF.
I wish I could say that I'm surprised about the state of the country right now, but I'm not.

This country chose racism and misogyny over progress, so POC are all over here sipping our tea because WE TOLD YOU THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN and you didn't believe us.

Hey, WI State leadership? Thank you for not being shit for minorities right now. Seriously.

Proof of life.

Still around and living my best queer life, which is resistance.

Teaching unwhitewashed history is not DEI. Stocking a Black-owned brands THAT PEOPLE BUY is not DEI. Recruiting HBCU grads is not DEI. Addressing racial disparities is NOT DEI. Treating LGBTQIA people like PEOPLE is NOT DEI

Trump isn’t dismantling DEI

He is reconstructing a WHITER supremacy
DEI Is the New Black
The demonization of anyone who is not white, straight and male is a tradition as old as America.

Hey so uh, cis folks? Enough talking about validity. Time to start donating to the ACLU and other organizations fighting these new EOs and laws.

Time to donate directly to trans people who need it.

Time to call your reps and help those you claim to care about.

We need ACTIONS, not platitudes.

This is one of the reasons why Memorandums of Understanding / Mutual Aid Agreements are SO fucking important in Emergency Management. Because of shit like this.
'Absolutely Insane': Trump Teases Killing FEMA While Touring Disaster Zones
"If we abolish federal funding for disaster assistance, municipalities and states wouldn't be able to cover these types of catastrophic emergencies and people would be left to fend on their own," one expert warned.

This.

My very existence in this country is being threatened. And this is MUCH worse than the previous run.
Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings.

They are talking about civil rights

I'm at the point where I just feel numb. And more than a little on edge and close to tears.

WE FUCKING TOLD YOU THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. And we were ignored.

Part of this weekend's happy was getting to spend time with my student and her spouse.

And also my other student and Pelican.

I was also asked by a friend if I would consider taking them as a metalworking student. So, that conversation will be happening soon.

I like that my friends know I give good hugs and they tell me as much and ask for a hug.

I also like that they ask if I'm hugging that day. Because if I'm bristly, I sometimes am not.

Aside from TikTok, what are some decent livestream platforms for mobile devices? Bonus if others can chat with me.

Rewatching "Between 2 Peers".

It was sassy, humorous, and filled with some thought provoking commentary on the SCA.

You will be able to rebuild, regardless of your insurance. President Biden just signed the Declaration and will match the state at 100%.

Call FEMA or start an application online. You will receive the help you need.

I know it's hard, but stay strong. This is a temp problem. You will get thru it!

To anyone who lost their house in the fire: I lost my house and everything in it to the Moore, OK tornado in 2013.

I feel for you.

A few things I could salvage. Most I couldn't, including family heirlooms.

What's important: I have my family and you have yours! Take some time, gather strength!

Evidently, I have run out of spoons for the night. Heading home.

But also, can I just say how much it frustrates me that many festivals have $100+ booth fees?

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Oh. By the way, this is not a professional feed.

I do have a professional "voice" when needed. This is my "you get the mostly unfiltered commentary" feed.

Speaking of which...

The South is about to get fucked again for the second week in a row.

These communities do NOT have the resources and infrastructure to support multiple major snowstorms rolling through like they typically do in the upper Midwest.

I've read multiple folks being concerned

I legit hate being in a lifetime of EM case studies, but the Los Angeles / Orange County EOC team is basically rolling a masterclass on how to effectively leverage public information by partnering with local news outlets and multiple government agencies.

For SoCal friends,

Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can.

If you're south of the Sunset Fire (Hollywood), and in an evacuation order... get your pets, prescriptions and papers (in that order) and get to a safe location.
