Squarespace, your website builder is bad and you should feel bad. 🤬

Much if this isn't on organizing, but on *mobilizing*. Mobilization is all about numbers, getting people in your corner, getting them to the front lines, and thereby generating momentum; it's what makes a movement a movement & is the key to it succeeding. What can you do to help mobilize against 47?

If you're in the D.C. area, please attend - thank you! 🙏

"[We’re] focused on [how] we need to adapt ... and to stand out is [also] very important. That sometimes requires being ... uncomfortable.” 👆If u're not willing to be uncomfortable, to place yourself in uncomfortable, possibly dangerous situations, then expect things under this regime to get worse.

Alright, who's comin' with me to watch this?

So, may have to skip this one sadly as it has similarities with my own werewolf concept (based on my husband's family history) and I don't want my story to be influenced by Eggers' in any way, but oh, man... This will be good. 🐺

For #trans and #nonbinary folx in the film biz, @cameowood.com wants *you* for her next project!

“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”

It sucks that this is the world we're living in... Por favor, tenga cuidado, tenga cuidado con las redadas de ICE y comparta esta información.

I was privileged to meet Danishka years ago at a screening of her sci-fi thriller horror film, LEVEL 16, at the Roxie in SF. She's a force of nature, so see what kernels of wisdom you can glean from this interview.

There will be long-term impacts on health. Please make sure you're prepared as best as you can be if you're in L.A. ❤️

For those in San Francisco, @tananarivedue.bsky.social & many other fab writers & scholars will be @ the Main Library tomorrow, Sun. 1/19, for an exploration of Black #horror & healing. These are heroes that you wanna meet... Or at least come by & say "hi" to yours truly. 😁 sfpl.org/events/2025/...

I fucking love Joseph Heller. If you've never read CATCH-22, please treat yourself. Orr is my favorite character - we should all be more like Orr. 😊

Not sure that these sources have been shared here yet, so... - We explore Earth (@WeExploreEarth), a 501c3 dedicated to the land & advocating for BIPOC communities, is seeking volunteers to rehabilitate the natural habitat around Eaton canyon. You can sign up at the link below. 1/3

Please choose your copy for fundraisers carefully. Some alternative words/phrases: recover; heal; improve; rally; revive; get back to "normal;" change our circumstances; regain our strength/losses; get back on our feet; bounce back; get out of the woods.

This month has been overflowing w/ loss & grief 4 many. I don't know about u, but a little light @ the end of the tunnel would bolster my spirit. What's 1 thing that made u smile or laugh this week? What's 1 thing u're looking forward 2? Let's share some love & joy & hope it proves to be contagious.

Please read this 🧵. Kenneth is right - utterly disgraceful.

Good precaution in the case of evacuation.

GoFundMe is offering fundraiser grants for those impacted by the L.A. fires - please apply if this is you.

Many of these families were in the same house for generations - please help them rebuild their homes and community.

For those who have lost their homes, please see the resource below.

I just paid off my student loans. 😭

Putting this at the top for us folx based outside of L.A.. Thank you, @itskristinathomas.bsky.social! 🙏

If you're looking for ways to help those impacted by the #LAFires, @elleschneider.bsky.social has made it easy for you. Thank you, Elle! 🙏

Lessons from 2024: - It can be both painful to say "no" to something *and* in your best interests. Saying "no" to one thing means saying "yes" to another. Saying "no" is an opportunity to learn about others (i.e., how they react & what that reaction says about them & your relationship w/ them). 1/4

The year is beginning with a host of tragedies, so I'd like to get to know folx here better with the hopes of turning things around. How are you doing? What's one thing you're excited about for 2025? What sort of support do you need (esp. if you're in L.A. right now)? Stay safe & much love! 💗💗💗
