"In every age... there have been those who struggled for a different world. I believe this is the genius of humankind, the thing that makes us half divine: the fact that some human beings can envision a world that has never existed." Anne Braden

I do like, though, when people share good peopling stories. Sometimes it gives me ideas for how to be a better person.

I don't have a way to reach a lot of people, given my low followers on 3 platforms, but I feel passionately that I and other white people must speak out every time we have an opportunity to oppose white washing/antiDEI strategies and efforts.

Khrissy Choate @KhrissyChoateAs of this July it will be illegal to sleep on the street in Kentucky, and store owners will be able to “use force to protect their space.” This is all part of “the Safer Kentucky Act.” Our governor vetoed it, but the veto was overridden by the republican supermajority.07:36 PM - Apr 15, 2024

Since Lindell showed a callous disregard for my constitutional right to have my vote count and not be stolen by a pack of liars, I'm OK with his irritation.

I feel so sad right now. My 18B is making some really dumb choices and I'm worried he won't graduate and go on to the college that accepted him to walk on their baseball team. Parenting is so hard.

I think this is good. Getting kids to see something for themselves teaches them curiosity, wonder, and sparks interest in things they may not have predicted.

It is about time. We WP need to keep advocating and pushing for DEI work to be done in all workplaces so that BBIMP don't have to be the only voice calling for equity and justice.

Rethinking how we sentence, and alternatives to sentencing is what’s needed for true prison reform.10:46 AM - Mar 29, 2024

Hooray for #FifthFriday ! Any month with a 5th Friday I have off and so I'm sipping coffee in a quiet house because everyone else is gone to work or school.
And I couldn't announce this on Xitter because I'd get attacked like the lady who drank coffee in her backyard with her husband.

Abbi Lichtenstein @abbij196114 years ago then President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. Some of the biggest things to come out of it was that insurance co had to accept pre-existing conditions & that your children can be on your insurance until they reach 26 years old.
