Come what may, I will bet on us, every time, because there is no other bet worth placing. I am all in, fam. I will never stop looking for openings and aiming at them. I will never stop reaching for people and saying, “Take my hand. We can do this.” Because we are worth it.

My two hot takes for the day:
We're capable of caring about more than one thing at once. Some of us can multitask.
-AND-
We can't carry the weight of every crisis, every second, every day. It's impossible.

This kind of anti-Indigenous racism amounts to genocide and it is being carried out by settler governments in so many places.

A reminder that Pride was an uprising against police surveillance and violence, particularly of and against trans folks, sex workers, and People of the Global Majority. It was called Gay Liberation Day before it was called Pride.

This how I know black folk and white folk live in different realities. Because I coulda told you in my teens that some people in this country have so much hate in their hearts that they’d burn this country to the ground just to be rulers over ashes, if it meant people they don’t like get hurt more.

Instead of immediately yelling at a child to stop doing something, maybe explain to them why you don’t want them to do or touch said thing.
