In May, ALL #mutualaid yoga $ goes right to orgs protecting undocumented youth and Palestinian families: Super Familia King County & The Sameer Project.
Just one way to ritualize our freedom as interconnected & inspire our community to see ourselves in each other, no matter the perceived distance.
we're all we got, but the good news is: community is everything. back in feb, i started teaching a monthly #mutualaid yoga class. so far, we raised $1,965 for wildfire relief for LA's open-air workers, life-sustaining aid in Gaza, trans rights, and immigrant rights. community care is hope in action.
we stan a teen publication with creative courage 😤
narrator: this important conversation ended up being pretty life changing.

I just don’t feel very “Cuntissimo leaving that loser on read” today
it’s been a while, here are some homemade memes 😘
And it’s more common than anyone wants to acknowledge or process.
the number of large(r), well-funded tech orgs I experience and see hiring contractors to escape full-time employee benefits, comp, and care is ... extremely gross
Nothing like navigating unemployment with a chronic illness to remind me: Community. Is. Everything.
recently ended an important conversation by talking about the profound n everyday beauty of pigeons. the person i spoke with strongly shared this sentiment. i nearly walked away with hope in humanity.
“i hope you’re doing alright”
- a eulogy to optimism, where i feel a profound, embodied truth that none of us are doing “well”
that’s not to say i don’t have hope. i practice hope and doing _good_ as a discipline, as @prisonculture.bsky.social put it
some higher power knew that neurodivergent baddies needed both a new Ethel Cain album *and* a new FKA twigs album this january 🖤😎🥺
to be a libra is to have a crush on life
to be a libra is to be heartbroken by life
(i don’t make the rules @vessel-markings.bsky.social)
more than enough 🫱🏻🫲🏽 never too much
what a week. i always say, tattoos make visible what always and already exists. for me, a life in bloom. my body and being, becoming.

best practice that's really a sometimes practice: "show, don't tell." been loving storytellers who tell me what they want me to take away. imo there are no reliable narrators, which complicates things, and that's beautiful. PAUL TAKES THE FORM OF A MORTAL GIRL by andrea lawlor is a fav example. 🍒
we are so far from "done" fighting for collective liberation. in the most urgent + enduring way, it never ends. today, here's what's on my mind + in my action: how will we (help each other) heal? how will we refuse + unravel roots that brought us here? let's never abandon each other. never relent.
Our hearts are with everyone impacted by the devastating wildfires in Southern California. Our Trust & Safety team has created a centralized hub housing all verified fundraisers related to the LA fires, which we'll continue to update throughout the coming days as they come in gfme.co/3DNAIlh
been working on something major. the list of things that fueled me here are gorgeous, chaotic. there could be no other way. ex: tuna salad, noname, great bad wine, ethel cain, my red-knit beret, day-to-day rage at <waves hand towards world>, and more tuna salad.
On a teal and yellow gradient background, a white box with black text: "Resisting the criminalization of reproductive autonomy is a critical site of struggle within a larger landscape of criminalization. Shifting this terrain requires that we organize across our movements. Solidarity among anti-criminalization and reproductive justice organizers is essential to dismantle the culture of carcerality and control, and to prevent more laws targeting people existing at precarious intersections of race, gender, sexuality, disability, class and migration." At the bottom, a white box with the URL bit.ly/DecrimAbortion in black text.
If you're thinking more about what the criminalization of abortion and pregnancy is going to look like moving forward, we invite you to check out this resource and start making the connections between the criminalization of reproductive, sexual and gender-based care and policing and criminalization.
as @vessel-markings.bsky.social and I wade through caretaking labyrinths, it's clear that surviving as a low-income elder sometimes feels impossible. we're also getting to know the heartbreaking taboo and need for "dying a 'good' death" — and just how hard our current systems make that.
You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? (honztly have never felt more secure)
