The Florida abortion ban went into effect today. If we are going to flip Florida, we do it lit by supporting down ballot candidates. If you can’t throw in $5/10 and want to support these candidates, just echo. One of your followers may want the opportunity to donate to Florida.
Nikki Barnes @NikkiBarnesFLOk look…my Black Caucus friends have asked me to ask y’all to skip the drive-thru again, remind you that you have food at home, and ask that you chip in $10 to help Lenora Easter reach her fundraising goal by tonight. She’s running for Public Defender.

I love living in a city that welcomes new arrivals instead of demonizing them. When we had an influx of Syrian refugees some years back, people took a group photo in the newly established Syrian Cultural Garden with a "Welcome New Neighbors!" sign in both English & Arabic.

She didn't know what her doorbell sounded like, so she jumped when it suddenly rang. She dried her eyes and her hands and went to answer. There stood two older ladies with the friendliest faces and a covered basket. "Welcome!" For the third time that day she burst into tears.

“What are weeds but nature’s reminder you were never in control of your vegetable garden? Go away for a week and the dandelions, oxalis, and dart-like grasses were #welcome to flourish and spread. Or did he have it all wrong and the ‘weeds’ were the native plants all along?”

Looking back perhaps it is odd that my earliest feeling of safety & being #welcome was in an environment where I didn't even know the language. But the feeling of safety so alien before at home permeates abused marrow and you feel it. And know that differences don't mean danger. #Spoutories

She was dumped at his feet like scrap from the kitchen laid to waste. As the two men haggled over price, her eyes sought escape and she inched forward trying not to be observed. Rough hands hauled her to her feet. but were tender brushing the hair from her face.
' #Welcome , my queen.'

It's always a #welcomed sight to drive by this open field of yellow wildflowers and take lots of photos each day.
Though it's the same flowers, the sensation and bubbly sweetness in my belly feel differently each time.

A streak of light flashes across the ceiling.
He asks, “Is there a truck in the driveway?”
She says, “Did you see that flash too?”
“Yes.”
Open the front door. No evidence of a vehicle, nor package on the porch.
I am ready to #welcome a new spirit into our home.

After towels being removed from a towel rack and neatly folded on the floor when no one was home, doors locked, no windows open, she got tired of it and went to the basement. She told the Poltergeists they were #welcome to play downstairs but to leave the upstairs alone. Hijinks ended.

The circumstances of their disappearance took on mythic proportions as the home became a cultish shrine. He spoke to a true believer who claimed the police cordoned it off because in close proximity, you could hear the departed's voices repeating one word over & over - Welcome.

I want to #welcome you. Come in and introduce yourself to everyone. Make yourself comfortable. Would you like something to drink? Oh, we were just about to slice up Alice's coffee cake. You look like you could use some cake. Come in. Sit down. You have to tell us all about yourself.

Try living in a state with a gerrymandered Republican supermajority & a secretary of state we've nicknamed "Jim Crow." If there's a way to shut down voters of color, the elderly, the young, the handicapped, the poor, he's promoting it. Polling places with extended hours? He cut hours!

If you're absent-minded or easily distracted like me, you might not notice the drip of a faucet or a toilet that needs its handle jiggled - until the water & sewer bill come. Whoa! The price skyrocketed. A plumber is expensive, but so is letting leaks persist in an old house.

I'm in bed, warm and cozy, thinking I hear the sound of rain. Maybe it's a dream. Then I feel a #drip . Then another. No, it's just a dream. I feel compelled to wake up. I force my eyes open, another drip. Big doggo is standing over me dripping slobber. Sorry, breakfast is late, firulais. #Spoutories

Awake and asleep blurred together these days. Her eyes were open. The only movement in the room was above to her left: the drip of the IV. She stared at the wall. People bustled in the hallway. Awake, asleep, then awake. Someone was holding her hand. A joyful, sunny smile.

The intruder struck a match, grunting when the flame singed his fingers. As he lit the candle, flickering light played across bare arms and a muscular back. Naked to the waist and dripping rain water, the man looked more like a lost lifeguard than one of Frank Medici's hired thugs.

“She told him a week ago that the bathroom faucet had a leak, but he hadn’t fixed it. Only when he heard the #drip while restocking the medicine cabinet did he mention it to her like it was breaking news. It took a great effort on her part not to roll her eyes at his observation.”

He listened as his kids debated the argument he had with their uncle last night. The same argument leftover from his parent's "discussions," that rotted the house he & his brother grew up in. Family drama wasn't some atomic blast fallout. It was the slow drip of spilled trauma.

She sat there, head down, wishing everyone would leave her alone. Why can’t they stop bullying her? She was chubby, but at 13, and mom being such a wonderful cook, it’s hard to be on a diet. “We’re just joking. Stop being such a #drip” , her so-called friends said.
“I’ll try.”
