This is sick. I am in shock & disbelief. Maybe I shouldn't be given this administration's bloodlust for violence & cruelty, but I am.

Trump is offering $5000 to every American if Republicans dominate the Midterms. Turns out, Trump is a Communist.

I just started watching AEW a month ago & was able to witness a Pac match for the first time last Wednesday. I was absolutely floored by his finishing move. My heart is sad & with his family & fans. The wrestling world has had so much loss lately. 🥺

I wish I could 5D print what it feels like to be in the middle of a late summer storm in the desert; the smell, the atmosphere, the heat and relief of the water. I also wish I had less palm tress and even one Joshua Tree near me lol. But this will have to do. <3

PSA to let your therapist know when things are going well/things they're doing are helpful. It's useful feedback for our own skills & personally, really brightens my day. We witness some of peoples' darkest moments & every once in a while we get to cheer on your successes, which means everything! 🌞

Wish I had heard about him earlier. Supported by the CA NASW, of which I am a member, even. Now I have to choose between voting with integrity for Thurmond or voting for the lesser evil of Becerra/Steyer so some right wing vigilante doesn't ruin my state.

Trump is asked, "What is the one leadership trait the world is missing?" "I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that are very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success."

Dear Target. I wasn't allowed to shop in the store as a kid b/c you weren't union. I stopped shopping at your store as an adult b/c you turned your back on people. No amount of "curating by conviction" is going to bring people like me back. I shopped there because it felt supportive & inclusive.

The “SAVE America Act” sounds like it was named by someone who knows the public supports SAVE student loan relief and hopes they will not look too closely. Same acronym, totally different agenda. One helps borrowers. The other restricts voting rights. That confusion feels very intentional.

As a former child abuse & neglect investigator in CA, I can tell you that this WILL put children in harm's way in their homes, & plummet their mental health & wellness at school. Public schools should be a safe haven for ALL children. I know they were mine growing up.

PSA to recruiters: If my profile clearly shows I have been working at your company for the past four years, it is probably not a great idea to contact me to apply for the same role I am already doing there.

My biggest pet peeve: If you’re referencing the psychological response of checking out of a situation or disconnecting from one’s thoughts, feelings, memories, sense of identity— It’s dissociate / dissociation / dissociating. Not disassociate, disassociation, so on. Thank you for your time, lol.

🚨 Science + politics = propaganda The administration is holding publication of scientific papers. Example: a paper on research integrity. 📌 Research should be evaluated on evidence. When outside forces intervene, trust in system can suffer. ✅ Scientific transparency is important for public health.
If scientific evidence needs political approval, it's not science anymore. 
It's propaganda.

Like so many #addiction treatment providers, I once saw mandated (i.e. forced) treatment as a "necessary evil." I don't know when I first internalized the idea that evil is ever "necessary," but I'm working to unlearn it now. #harmreduction #therapistsky #addictionmed

ICE is now raiding night clubs while continuing to terrorize our communities. This is just the latest case of ICE’s unchecked power. This brutality continues to worsen. ICE is trying to divide communities, they know they can’t pull this off if communities come together to stop them. They fear us.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

I’m just now realizing: folks who flex “brave” settler ancestors are quietly saying people who were Black and brought here in chains “got a free ride.” That isn’t history. That’s racism.
Screenshot of a Bluesky post (name and handle obscured). The post reads: “2/ my dad’s family was from a place called Eigenfeld - a small village; they were on a farm outside the village, not too far from Melitopol. It is unbelievable what they went through... the journey of what they went through to get to Austria is something else! They were brave, strong.”
