I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

No one is coming to save us. We’ve got to be there for each other.

White people, it’s not enough to not be racist. Y’all need to HATE racism like Kendrick Lamar hates Drake. Commit to the goddamned bit.

HOLY SHIT. I grew up two stoplights over from Flower Mound. I never in my life would’ve expected to see a protest like this there. WOW.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

It made me physically ill following updates from the Supreme Court today. Sending love to trans people, trans kids especially, and their families because… whew. Enduring this kind of hostility is an experience us cisgender will never fully understand.

It’s 6:40am at LAX. In line at the convenience store, an older man was having trouble with his credit card and jokingly asked me “can I have your credit card?”
I laughed and said “I’m black. Give me YOUR credit card. Reparations.” The black lady working the register burst out laughing.
Him: 😮😳🤔😩🤣5,620 268Nov 16, 2024 -

Strikingly, the only group that responded en mass and IMMEDIATELY to the neo-Nazi march this weekend in Columbus was a group of black men.
Everyone else? Oh, they put out statements. Black men linked arms and marched the NEXT day.
And this is why I say “Godspeed” to everyone who ain’t us.5,136 1,116Nov 19, 2024 -

If I could make a plea for BlueSky, it’s this: Please make a point of sharing links to articles, essays and more that you LOVE, that you enjoyed, that expanded you in some way.
I’m always surprised by the dominance of hate-shares, complaint shares on here. And I think it has a riptide effect.4,837 1,281Aug 17, 2024 -

Netflix is so wild to me. There’s a first rate production of August Wilson’s “The Piano Lesson” starring Samuel L. Jackson, Danielle Deadwyler and John David Washington and I only know about it because of a post on BlueSky.
Like, I’m watching it now while reading along and it’s BRILLIANT.4,816 532Nov 23, 2024 -

I salute E. Jean Carroll and Stormy Daniels for being braver than all three branches of our government.

We don’t have universal healthcare for the same reason that white southerners poured cement into their community swimming pools rather than let their black neighbors swim in them. Racism is ruining ALL of our lives.

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”

Billie Eilish used her acceptance speech to say: “No one is illegal on stolen land.” And CBS censored her when she said “Fuck ICE.”

I read somewhere that mainstream media stopped valorizing Greta Thunberg the minute she started connecting climate change to imperialism. Honestly, I thought she had just opted for a more private way of life or something. But nah, they want her to shut up.

OOP. One of my neighbors just cussed out her man so bad in the hallway about not taking out the trash, I started tidying up my own living room.

When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.

I’ve really been struggling to take care of myself. I just want to acknowledge that because we’re made to feel ashamed but it’s a difficult time. If you’re struggling, I want you to know I’m right there with you. We’re gonna figure it out. It’s just gonna be rough for a while.

Maybe if we tell them there’s a student encampment inside the White House democrats will spring to action.
