IM SCREAMING 😂😂😂

*late

So I told my dad I write horror this week and he prayed for my soul 😭

Most of me is still dead.

As of this morning, the fundraiser to keep Semicolon Bookstore alive — with the addition of a cafe — is at $20,000. The goal is $25,000. “We can create this coffee shop venture that is going to be employee-owned, so it’s going to give the team ownership.” thetriibe.com/2025/02/semi...

When we can't pay to live with money, we will be forced to pay with our labor until we are used up. That's the direction we are moving in. Modern day slavery.

Just in case you are willing & able to support us, here's our website with a donation link. We were denied funding 2 years ago for "promoting CRT" & just found out that funds we were promised to pay our educators for our newest program has been frozen due to DEI concerns. www.snbei.org/about

Did it once and learned my stupid lesson

#authorsky #writingcommunity Hey y’all! I am in the market for a private editor for my upcoming traditionally published book. My previous one recently suffered a great personal tragedy & is unable to continue w/ the project (please pray her strength). If interested please DM!

Hey, folks. Get used to memorizing important phone numbers.

I'm not surprised at all!!😠

You want to be the people you are jealous of.

Americans are FAR TOO VULNERABLE to everything that's happening right now, bc of our very coddled belief that certain things just *can't* happen here, even as we see them dismantled. This is not a fast or easy fix, we're not at the worst part yet, even. Yes, fight back. Engage your lawmakers...

I say this not as a criticism because to Shay's point, everything happening is outside the imaginations of most Americans, which is why some really couldn't fathom the threat. And this isn't doom or fear-mongering but realism: ain't no midterm save. This is a four year fight AT LEAST. Prepare

You must set the terms of debate in order to win it. This is why, as Republicans have always understood, current public opinion is meaningless. And why Democrats, constantly chasing what they think polls say, keep losing. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

But also, protests ARE happening. Hundreds of folks turned out in NYC a few nights ago in support of trans folks. There was the Day without Immigrants. People blocked a highway in LA. What happened is you made it clear you don’t want activism on campuses which was a HUGE mistake. Dah well.

You can't cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid without hurting children, seniors in long-term care, people with disabilities, and people with low-income jobs. Call your lawmaker now at 866-426-2631 and tell them: NO CUTS TO OUR HEALTH CARE. #HandsOffOurMedicaid familiesusa.org/defend-medic...

Be extremely gentle with yourself. You are much more fragile than this culture allows.

My last one couldn't find the brush I needed so he brought me makeup wipes. It gets to a point dude.

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

The Senate phone system is crashing. I don’t mean it’s busy or goes to voicemail—the recording stutters and sputters trying to keep up with the inbound call volume. KEEP IT UP. Call both of your Senators. Say your name and that you’re a constituent. Leave a message. Demand action. Get angry.

Keep it up guys. Marches are happening. Their phone lines are being destroyed. We got this.

Toni Morrison. She really knew her power and never acted like she didn't.

A funeral

Boosting for Nour and her family

and it's worth noting that the Biden admin kept the Trump Title IX rules in effect for almost his entire presidency. Survivors and advocates begged for change earlier but they didn't release anything until Spring 2024 www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

These days I'm watching a lot of horror; it feels particularly honest in times like these.

This. I'm tired of our sense of community being weaponized against us.

If you own a smartphone*, you may access** the baby formula *The app requires an internet connection to download. Standard data rates may apply. **Access may be rescinded at any time at the discretion of CVS. Customers caught assisting poorer customers with access will be escorted off the premises

I don't know if past lives are real but I sweatagawd this better be my last time here 😭

sorry for getting ✨️political✨️ on the good vibes and video games app again, but the human brain is not designed to withstand another 207 weeks of this shit so pace yourself and try to channel that anger, despair, and hopelessness into something productive. make some kick ass art, we will need it

WIC. They are pausing WIC. That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.

Protests for Democracy.

Again: Stock up on bottled water, meat, soaps, lotions, baby food, canned goods, rice, yogurt... if they'd put (more) lead in it, buy it now. Freeze what you can't leave unopened EPA withdraws plan to regulate harmful ‘PFAS’ chemicals in drinking water search.app/thFL9h5FsdZH...

Here's a list of companies/brands that donated and supported The Orange Man and Project 2025. LOOK AT IT BEFORE YOU SHOP. We might not be able to do much right now but we can hit them in the pockets. LIKE, SAVE IMAGE & REPOST!

. . . Stay ready so you don't have to get ready to make change on the local and state level. mayors, governors, city council, school boards. THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU SHOW UP. SPREAD THE WORD. #politics #blacksky

Bc that black and white morality is beating a lot of ppl's asses

Just placing a marker here.... so we remember who started the TikTok Ban. Trump tried to Ban Tik Tok through an executive order in 2019 that was blocked by the courts: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

It’s not about just TikTok or ByteDance or even Tencent (which they’ll probably come for next). It’s about the fact that our government is forever able to censor any app that they deem a “foreign adversary”while still using it themselves. It’s fascism.

I just need to scream for a couple days excuse me
