There was a quote that said something like Black people worship a Jesus who knows what it's like to be lynched, while white people worship a Jesus who will forgive them for being part of a lynch mob.

Um....How.

@lauratfisher.bsky.social Just watched Never Not Yours. Lovely work!

OK Global Southern Bluesky, let's go: share your most beloved non-Anglophone pop culture franchises. We want to know about the Nepali romance novels, the Khmer superhero comics, the Guatemalan detective movies, the Malawian ghost hunter cartoons. Or whatever's out there. Please boost!

My latest includes reflections on staying engaged without denying our limits, updates on ICE’s shifting tactics, and a new list of must-reads.

Check out these white-bordered lilac flowers.

Start by calling House electeds. Tell them no blank check for Immigration enforcement. Any ICE or Border Patrol funding must include due process, transparency, oversight, & humane immigrant treatment. larson.house.gov/media-center... #voices4Victory #USDemocracy #DV1

I probably shouldn’t be, but I’m *astonished* by the lack of curiosity fans of AI show about how it works. You don’t even have to ask many or complicated questions for it to tell you this stuff.

This hits hard. Not because it’s new but because it’s still true! This isn’t just sad stats.This is real life for millions of women and it deserves more than silence! It’s time we start demanding better! Equality isn’t radical ….. it’s necessary! #SheShed #Equality #Feminism #EmpowerWomen

Saw the corners turned on a copy of one of my plays at the library. Evidence that perhaps someone has read it! A nice little ego boost on a Tuesday.

Love this.

This morning I was dreaming about playing with a crazed kitten. So at least I've got that going for me. When I finally woke up, it was with a migraine because my body is awesome.

More than 220 journalists have been killed in Gaza by the Israeli army since October 2023, including at least 70 killed while actively carrying out their journalistic work, making the Israeli army the biggest killer of journalists in the world.

Are you pissed about SCOTUS’ Voting Rights Act decision? Then DO SOMETHING Send your Governor and your state legislators a letter outlining your feelings! #sheshed

Not enough people are talking about this.     The Trump Administration is moving to cut benefits for up to 400,000 disabled Americans — people with Down syndrome, severe autism, dementia — for no other reason than that they live at home with their families instead of in an institution.

Found out a dear friend has stage 3 breast cancer. This is apparently her 3rd bout with breast cancer. She kept the other 2 times to herself. I want to strangle the universe for being so shitty. And her a little bit for not sharing before now.

For the lazy:

I heard about this on the radio. It's really moving to see and listen to. Not everyone sucks. 🥲

Hundreds of men are still on hunger strike at North Lake ICE prison in MI. A lawyer in touch with them said: “they haven’t lost perspective that there’s value in doing something even if it’s just to keep the hope alive.” truthout.org/articles/hun...

Struggling a bit today. Don't love it.

I spent a big chunk of my weekend gardening and I'm a little sore, but super glad I did it. I like to enjoy the first couple of months before the beds get overgrown with weeds.

Gotta work late on a Saturday serving the worst people in the world and then a gunman tries to kill people and then you gotta stay at work

My first thought: is this another staged assassination attempt or something else? I suppose we'll know if there's some iconic fist-pumping photo. I didn't know I could be this cynical.

Gardening may not be great for my back, but it's so good for the soul.

Yes. This. Our government should not be murdering people.

I saw a lot of cute cats on this trip, but these two were the handsomest. Oreo in NJ and George in MD. #Caturday

We talk about how soldiers fight for our freedom. That’s a lie. Nearly every military action taken by the U.S. in the last 50+ years has been senseless mass murder of and by our soldiers. DO NOT let your loved ones be USED. Do NOT praise their abuse. WAR is EVIL for the benefit of EVIL ELITES.

Turns out that announcing the closure of one of my small businesses whilst trying to be on a retreat for my playwriting career is a tad incompatible, productivity and stress-wise.

I would like to not have a migraine tomorrow.

My cousin got offended when I asked her if she'd burned some toast. I was like, dude, I'm literally just trying to figure out if I'm having a stroke. #gettingold

Last night my aunt was talking about my great-grandmother and said, "She really needed a lot of time alone for her writing and her art." Same, Granna. Same.

Excellent summarization.

It's hard to express how much I love the Chicago Pope. And I hate the Catholic Church, so it's a bit of a conundrum, but he's so compassionate and cute.
