iPhone note reading “I wish I could wrap my arms around the world; the world never seems to have enough love. Maybe it doesn’t know how to welcome it, doesn’t know how to hold and protect those who have the most love to give.”
From APPARITIONS.
They bombed children today. Grow a backbone and call out Trump’s brutality.
There are no words for what my friend Sama'a and her family have been through and continue to live through. Even a small donation helps.

After seeing the US men’s team cozy up to a fascist and attend the State of the Union, I never want to see anyone tell an athlete who’s protesting racism or misogyny or homophobia to “shut up and stick to sports.”

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.
That missed too-many-men call was brutal. As blatant a penalty as they come.
fuck the USA
Good news alert: Just want to shout out Elana Meyers Taylor, the most decorated Black woman in the Winter Olympics, who won her sixth medal and first gold tonight, AND is also one of the only 8% of hearing parents who learn to sign for her deaf kid. Badass through and through.🥇
Including disabled people in our utopian futures pushes back against a eugenicist ideal.
Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon both helped start the modern anti-trans moral panic to distract from their paedophilia.
That is a fact. As documented in the files.
Also a fact is they hoped it would drive some trans people to sex work and into their arms.

The reason we do mutual aid & the reason why mutual aid is grounded in anticapitalist theory from a long time is that capitalism says your survival depends on what you can do for people. We say, no you deserve to survive by virtue of your humanity. If you can't produce, we will help you survive.

Valkyrie had a haircut yesterday. Came home soft and fluffy. ☺️

AGB advocated not only for extinguishing Sign Language, but he said that Deaf people should not marry other Deaf people. In other words, he was a eugenicist.
Gaza is a wasteland of starvation and destruction, bombs raining from the cold winter sky, hunger dogging every step. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a.

When a hearing person wants to “rescue” the story of Alexander Graham Bell’s wife:
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) tells reporters the Epstein files contain allegations that President Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
JFC. Their cruelty has no limit.
I have determined that everything right now is All Too Much and it needs to be Considerably Less, so if reality could just dial it down a fucking iota or two, I think we'd all like that
Some people think being Deaf is a weakness, that learning Sign Language & becoming part of Deaf culture is somehow a surrender. It’s not. It’s a revelation, a declaration of freedom. My Deaf community is a wondrous galaxy that gives me strength & love & imagination, & I’m grateful to be part of it.🤟🏼

Watching Heretic. Reading The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman by Niko Stratis. AMAZING book.
The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.
Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.
Valkyrie, a white goldendoodle, and Loki, a brown and white poodle pup, lie face to face on a beige carpet. It’s frickin adorable.
Valkyrie and Loki wish you all a peaceful and comforting weekend.
She looks like she’s about to have a heavy tantrum in the middle of a Target.
