please remember if you have ADHD or autism and migraines: talk to your optometrist about your eye exam! get it done with your eyes dilated! learn to relax the muscles in your face! if you feel like you try to “win” your eye exam your prescription could be wrong!

this country will not be transformed without addressing policing, prisons, surveillance and militarism. Sorry. Cannot get around it. The carceral socialists may make incremental progress but they will ALWAYS come up against state violence.

New Orleans/LA folks: Does anyone know where I can find a recent chart or data on cost of living increases? Preferably over the last 3 or so years. Something with just energy costs would also work. It's for speeches and a flyer to put pressure on LCMC to give UMC nurses raises in their contract.

We've been surveying journalism professionals working and living in the U.S. and territories. How many have responded? 81. How many do we still need to respond? Hundreds... thousands... more of you. accessiblejournalism.surveymars.com/q/y2hGhFumV
A bar graph showing the sample size so far based on how many surveys we've received versus the sample size we need versus the number of journalists in the U.S. per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Text reads: We've been asking U.S. journalism professionals to take a survey. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 87,100 journalists in the U.S. To reach 5%, we'd need to hear from 4,355 U.S. journalism professionals. So far, we've heard from just 81 of you. 
Help us reach our needed sample size by taking the survey!

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end
