Like I need more reasons to love Letitia James. Fight to get the right person in your states AG seat. It makes a huge difference.

URGENT: Here’s a list of campaigns to support Black families displaced by the LA fires. Bit.ly/rebuildAD h/t: @ykreborn.bsky.social

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

This edition of my newsletter includes mutual aid efforts to support and uplift, preparedness resources (for us all), some must-reads, and some thoughts about how we process disaster and look after each other amid disaster. (Yes, I am on a break, but this felt important)

Trying to approach 2025 the way St. Margaret is approaching Beelzebub

A lot of friends who just want 2025 to be a year of survival because the bar is that low.

Blessing for the pack I didn’t know I needed but obviously of course I do.

I see a lot of people talk about the environmental costs of AI. I don't see as much about the human exploitation behind it.

Final call. Sending books out this week!

Sunday comic.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

Look, I can understand feeling disappointment that Sarah McBride isn’t pushing back more on Johnson’s bigoted policy. But if you have more anger for her than you do for Johnson, Mace, the whole GOP, & the 200+ other members of her caucus that could be pushing back harder, you have weird priorities.

Every vacancy left open has the opportunity to be filled by a right-wing extremist Trump judge. We need to tell Senate Democrats to confirm Biden's Judges now: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Coloring is one of my favorite ways to relax when the world is going to shit. So I made a reproductive justice coloring book! This is a digital copy but there is a hard copy you can purchase on Amazon. 🫶🏼 #reprosky #coloring meetmeatthespot.etsy.com/listing/1541...

A good litmus tear for how informed you are about trans athletes is whether or not you previously knew that no sports governing body has ever produced a study of actual trans bodies to justify banning trans women from sports.

Matt Gaetz is awful. He has been a MAGA sycophant from the beginning. He has been under investigation regarding sex-trafficking laws during a trip to the Bahamas with paid escorts, sexual misconduct, illicit drug use & misuse of campaign funds. SAY NO: act.weareultraviolet.org/sign/matt-ga...

Since 2018, Hallmark has made these movies: Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas Time for You to Come Home for Christmas Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas Time for Her to Come Home For Christmas (1/2)

The anti-abortion movement is foaming at the mouth to destroy access, armed with a decades old battle plan: ban abortion pills, defund real clinics, fund fake ones, & redefine embryos as people. They don’t need a national ban—just cruelty, a dystopian dream, and zero fucks given. bit.ly/3UXLPOr

Noooo, not a second “hello how you doing” already. I just got here, I have less than 200 followers, and I’m still finishing my coffee, sir. The worst part of ALL social media…

Thank you to @thecut.bsky.social for centering voices of experience as we all unpack this new reality and work to navigate a new era of activism. ✨1 mife + 4 miso = med abortion✨

You know what is a top tier feeling??? LAYING DOWN!!!

THISSSSSSSS

One of the funniest things I have seen in ages is all these people going on about "And well *I* got off of Twitter a *year* ago and went to a *different app* because I am a morally upstanding and actually *liberal* person." And where they went was to more social media owned by Mark Zuckerberg?? 😂

It’s pretty wild to sit here and listen to conservatives argue that I shouldn’t be allowed to exist and liberals argue about whether saying “trans people should be allowed to exist” is too controversial of a political decision to take.

Serious baby. Postcard from my collection, ca. 1900.

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

1. Eat what you want 2. Join a union 3. Leave the party when you want 4. Use the fancy crockery 5. No one wants to hear about your diet 6. Protect trans kids 7. A baked Camembert is for one, not two 8. Vote 9. Soak the potato masher straight away 10. Don’t send read receipts

when you’re in grade school you learn about the war of 1812 as a kind of curiosity but i’ve read a few books this year where it has come up and to me, it seems like the first episode of “america fucks around and finds out with an ill-conceived war”

An election, explained.

A milestone for any new platform this morning. Blocking a man who slid into my DMs. 🙏

When the world is a little too much, hot pot lunch with my favorite person makes it a lot better.

Ah yes. This is the dopamine hit I needed.

Lost access to 16yrs of followers, so if you can help spread the word on bsky, that would be amazing. I'm giving away signed copies of my feminist YA activism handbook, Girls Resist! to young adults of the global majority (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+, & disabled youth. Thanks for helping me spread the word!

Who else can't stop watching this every time it pops up on their feed? Just FUCK YES.
