The fashion here is IMPECCABLE, as expected. Flowy rainbow garments? ✅ Vests of all stripes? ✅ A lot of linen? ✅ Graphic tees with progressive messages to show to…other people wearing graphic tees with progressive messages? ✅ #UCCSynod

Five things to remember about war:

Glen Weldon was so mad at me in my dream last night because I wanted him to wear the Big Bird again in our muppets reenactment. (Apparently I had previously offended him with this request. He was very testy about that part).

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 63 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

Remember this: Tyranny cannot prevail over people who refuse to succumb to it.

Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

The tornado alert test siren just went off and it was as comforting as music. I couldn't figure out why I got teary-eyed until I realized it was relief at a functional alarm system, one that's still funded, one that still works, blaring the same way it always does on the first Monday of the month.

Yes! I want to hear your good news! I want to go look for your book at the library or in the bookstore! I want to admire your artwork and cheer you on!

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are

Tell the truth like you have nothing to lose.

There's so much to process and sift through, but this section is making it very hard to breathe right now. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Brian!

I hate when people say things like “I respect myself too much [to fall prey to an abuser]” because uh, where was I supposed to learn self-respect? My parents? School? Patriarchy? Lmao. Listen. If you learned self-respect and self-esteem, that’s one hell of a privilege that not everyone gets, ok?

There once was a girl Who lived in the forest She whispered to her best forest friends: “I’ve had a personal experience” “Wow!” they exclaimed A man she never met Miles, miles away Heard that “wow” and rose to his feet Climbed hills Crossed rivers Fought dragons Only to tell her: “No, you didn’t”

I see some people are demanding we watch the inauguration and I'm all, motherfucker, I didn't watch his first one and spent four years actively avoiding the sound of his voice, what makes you think I'm going to do any different this time around

I have never sweated onions before (cooked in pan with no oil). What a cool thing to do. Also I will never pat the chicken dry. If you do this, why?

Just arrived at woman’s song for peace concert - dance brigade with Holly Near and Ferron. Basically entire audience is lesbians in their 70s and 80s - all we have survived shows on our faces and bodies but we are still here and still queer! Kind of teary and music hasn’t even started yet.

this choice of photos by the Carter Center is shadier than a Georgia peach tree in summer

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

I can’t begin to express how bad these fires are. Friends have evacuated to our house and other friends are packing up what they can to evacuate and we are wondering if we are going to have to evacuate too. It’s such a colossal shitshow.

Look, it’s a hard time… for so many reasons. Check on your people. (Shut up. I’m turning off replies. Just check on your people. Ask questions.) People are scared, overwhelmed and imperiled. Check on the people you love and know.

Why are we ignoring the Fourteenth Amendment-Section 3? #NeverForgetJanuary6th

not to mention confuse, overwhelm, commodify and dismay us...

I see people musing that the vibe here has changed, and I would urge people to remember that there's a lot of anxiety about the change of administration in two weeks and that's going to leak into a lot of other places in one's life. Be as gracious as you can with yourself and others.
