Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

There is nothing Amazon sells that cannot be purchased elsewhere. I made my last purchase on 12/1. An order of gifts they promptly lost and I replaced elsewhere. Folks should start buying direct from companies that have a website. Prices are the same and the original company keeps more profit.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before yāall start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

When the founding treaty was drafted & signed, it was written out in English & in the MÄori language. The English version has been interpreted as the MÄori ceding the land & sovereignty to the UK monarch. The MÄori language merely says they join the UK & retain the land & sovereignty.

I would honestly be in alarm-raising mode about what we're going to be up against, but I think more immediately, people need to get right with where they're at psychologically. Bc if we don't do that, people aren't going to be ready for what the coming months/years will demand of us. From last week:
