"People who overestimate their abilities and worth often have high self-esteem, but significant problems in their interpersonal and work or school relationships because they have unrealistic expectations of 'what is due to them.'" Found that in my Family Systems textbook! Sound familiar?

We must stop imagining success as extreme material wealth and hyper-consumption, because by doing this we tie a person's worth directly to their economic participation. This idea says hard work should lead to luxury, and if it doesn't it's your fault, neatly sidestepping systemic obstacles.

While I love that MapQuest is getting attention for refusing to rename Lake Ontario, I don't love that you can't get bus info with them. I guess I am sticking with Magic Earth, an app from the Netherlands, which operates within EU privacy laws, and has bus information for those of us who take buses.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

If you care about protecting Big Bend, it may be time to rethink where you spend your money. YETI co-founder Ryan Seiders is part-owner of a West Texas ranch that has been facilitating construction tied to Trump’s border wall project in the Big Bend region.

Had to report to potential jury duty recently, and I haven't been able to get past one overwhelming thought: There has never truly been a rule of law in this country because the rich can always get away with almost anything while the poor rot in prison because they can't afford high priced lawyers.

This has gotten a lot worse than people trying to keep trans girls from playing sports (which was already bad enough and totally unacceptable). It seems to have evolved into a way to stop all girls from playing sports: Who wants to submit to a bodily autonomy denying examination akin to assault?!?

Had to report for potential jury duty, and the judge talked about how we have a rule of law. I just kept thinking, how could we have a rule of law when only the poor are held accountable while the rich exploit and destroy with zero consequences?

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

ICE is still running around murdering people in the streets, and STILL nothing has been done. In fact, while I saw Elizabeth Warren post something about the latest murder, I haven't seen much else from our Democratic "leadership." Shameful. Almost like they shouldn't be in leadership positions 🧐

Lindsay Graham became whatever benefitted him at any given time. Hunter Biden can remember when he was friendly to everyone, but then Michael Fanone remembers him screaming Trump wasn't responsible for Jan. 6 at a grieving mother. He was an opportunist to the end, so all I feel is good riddance.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.

"Gender inspection" is a violation of bodily autonomy and human dignity. It is also sexual assault. In a country so obsessed with the Epstein files, there are sure a hell of a lot of people pushing for state sanctioned sexual abuse.
