💯 I keep saying this! Refusal to adapt to equitable changes should mean reduced investments. Especially if those areas already have adequate capital facilities. #equitabledevelopment

Oof I feel this. In fact, just today I learned the sign for TIRED in ASL. How timely. #learningASL #QTBIPOCASL #QueerASL #tired #restisresistance

As our new president and his favorite broligarch move to dismantle US foreign aid in the name of making America “great again,” consider this:

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

"This is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained." Me, every time I tell NIMBYs that racism and segregation are bad, and that the system they're so passionate about protecting is corrupt and was designed for oppression and dominance 🙃

"Proposition 1B gets rid of the mixed-income model. And even more galling, in a reverse-robin hood maneuver, it takes that $10 million away from other affordable housing for folks that are even more cash strapped. It is designed to pit working people against one another to fight over the scraps."

this is exactly it. i wrote something similar not long ago

In fairness to the incoming president, there is no reason to think that he has any of these precedents in his head. What he has, instead, is a deeply rooted sense that the world is a fundamentally zero-sum place and that American greatness means that others must be diminished. His zero-sum, social Darwinistic intuitions are echoes of an earlier age of reactionary aggression and shameless avarice. There is no such thing for Trump as a positive exchange or a mutually beneficial relationship. There is only winning and losing, the dominant and the dominated.

Hey #booksky my amazing friend @julianagyeman.bsky.social has an OPEN ACCESS book available that I highly recommend. "Sacred Civis is a must-read for anyone interested in intersectional discussions on social justice, inclusivity, participatory design, healthy communities, and future cities."

Buy Nothing was the last thing keeping me on FB. I hope folks in my neighborhood start shifting over to the standalone app so that our community can continue to thrive. I miss them 😥

Hey @safeway.bsky.social it's completely unacceptable to disallow these items at a store that is 0.2 mi from the light rail station. People taking trains from the airport, from the gym, from work, etc. should be encouraged to stop in without additional burdens. This is discrimination. Shame on you

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Joy is a form of resistance. I am learning how to exist in dualities. Simultaneously grieving and thriving. Weary and empowered. Resting and fighting. Keep creating joy! Keep sharing content created by and celebrating the existence of queer, brown, and disabled communities! #buildforbelonging 🖤🤎🏳️‍🌈

I think it's important to remember that standards for "good writing" and "proper grammar" are rooted in white supremacy. Let's read and review written works by QTBIPOC/disabled authors, and use metrics like, "How did this expose me to ideas/cultures unlike my own?" to uplift diverse voices! #booksky

It takes time to look up who owns what, and to find alternatives for the things you need/want. Time and privilege are closely aligned; not everyone can easily do this. But the more we can, the better! 🖤🤎🏳️‍🌈

Today is MLK Day of Service. I'm volunteering to help endangered orcas by restoring salmon habitat. We remove invasive plants and plant native trees at a public park that used to be a golf course. "The time is always right to do what is right." 🌱🌲🏞️ #mlkdayofservice #riparianforest #srkws

Please support your local public libraries. Many libraries offer reciprocal cards to other nearby library systems (great for borrowing e-books and audiobooks through Libby). Please read banned books. Please read books by BIPOC authors. Please use StoryGraph. Please purchase locally. #booksky 📚
