Don't presume ppl aren't concerned by what's happening in the world b/c they share joy. I'm a black woman. I know hate & oppression. I fight, AND I laugh. I learned from my ancestors that joy replenishes the soul so you can stay in the fight. This is not a new fight for some of us. It's lifelong!

Florida now has an outbreak of BOTH leprosy and malaria! The FL Surgeon General is an anti-vaxxer, and the State has no effective health plan.

You know. All the old people in your life. They are waiting to hear from you. They wait for your emails. Your letters. Your post cards. They print your emails and put it all in a folder. It gives them life. Write to them. Right now. No matter how. Just write.

Abbi Lichtenstein @abbij1961Polling locations changed in Ohio counties ahead of Aug. 8 special election. This is another ploy by Rs to prevent you from voting. OH voters please check your polling place before heading out to vote No on issue 1.07:20 AM - Aug 06, 2023

I've figured out how to get the dreaded X logo off my phone, although I'm still keeping my account open for the moment. There's a "No Twitter Tuesday" boycott advocated by Mark Hamill (Luke himself), so I'll swim with my podmates today.

The way academia handles problems: shove it here and there in the hopes that it will eventually go away or will starve to death, or if it's a person, give up.

We have to do EXACTLY what Republicans spent decades doing. Get Democratic majorities in the State Legislature, Democratic Governors, so we can end racist gerrymandering so we can elect more Federal Democrats. All politics is local. Brick by brick we rebuild. We have to reinvest in Democracy NOW.

When girls in Florida aren't allowed to talk about their period anymore, it's about shaming.
Because shaming is part of the dehumanizing process, and dehumanizing is part of the control process, and control is part of the fascism process.
