Big heart, bigger mouth. Harm Reductionist in WI. I like to ride my bike and get tattoos and crochet things but haven't mastered doing all three at once. I love you, neighbor. ❤️

There are a lot of things I love about my job, but helping a nervous person walking into the syringe service program for the first time might be my favorite. 🥰

Really cannot overemphasize that if you feel hopeless and furious over the state of things, go do something in your community. It’s not only what needs to happen, it feels SO good. It can be whatever you have capacity for. Go walk some shelter dogs if you can’t deal w people, that 100% counts.

Hey if you're a northsider and have security cam footage of us chasing our escaped chicken in the rain, NO YOU DON'T. Shout out to the neighbor who came out and grabbed her net to help, you're the real MVP 🙌

I know many things are terrible including things that deeply harm me and people I love but as I cautiously emerge from burnout and social isolation I am reminded how much good there is. So many people and places and things to love and give bits of my heart to. ❤️

I've been through a boxer's break (not from punching, from a bike crash, my dad taught me how to punch). You don't want that.

I experienced a "boxer's break" in my dominant hand (due to a bike crash) and it was extremely eye opening. You too can experience a taste of it, just try wiping with your non-dominant hand. 😅😬

Wild to me that the same Democrats that have been ambivalent to supportive of bans on wearing masks at protests, while simultaneously buying their police face recognition tech, while simultaneously creating federal grants for more police tech---now ask us where the protests are.

Are local folks who left FB hearing about the (mostly Ho-Chunk) people being profiled and harassed by ICE agents in the area the last few days? Tomah, La Crosse, and Osseo. Unfortunately light on details. One was reported as a solid black SUV. This is Ho-Chunk land and ICE should get off of it.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Some of what Trump is attempting to do is unlawful, but some of his shadier maneuvers will likely be supported by the courts. SCOTUS is on his side. I don't say this to discourage people, but as a reminder that the law cannot be our bottom line. Our obligation is to each other, not the law.

Another tip: look for local radical (or at least progressive-leaning) bookstores, community centers, etc, and then see which groups host events at them.

There are plenty of valid reasons to critique the president and his nominee for that big health entity- but disparaging one for being a 'felon' and the other for being an 'addict' isn't helping anyone. Your friends, family members, and communities can hear you too.
