She often brings her son with her during these endeavors. She likes to expose him to nature and science. But sometimes, she admits, she brings him along so people might not be afraid of her.

In response to absolutely nothing, just a reminder that we require masks at all of our indoor events. It's an extremely easy way to keep our community healthy and protect those vulnerable to respiratory illness. Why spread airborne diseases when you can just wear a mask instead?

ICE killed another man. His name is Mario David Coronado Juarez. Mario lived and worked in Michigan for 7 years as a construction worker, sending money home to his kids in Guatemala. ICE pursued him in an unmarked car, causing a fatal car crash. These killings have to stop. #AbolishICE.

Ruaa is the caretaker of her family, including her injured mother. Displaced in a tent, they need support for basics and medical care. linktr.ee/safety4ruaa @divyampersaud.com

A pale purple graphic with the texture of linen, and an ink sketch of a purple watercolor rose. The title says Safety for Ruaa and is decorated with red tatreez olive leaves. The text says: Ruaa alone provides for a family of seven, including her sick sister—she is exhausted, in pain, and reliant on strangers for help. Give this family hope for better days. Make a weekly recurring donation to stand by them every week, and lift the burden from young Ruaa's shoulders.

Today's reminder that the current genAI boom is powered by GPUs manufactured with a mineral called coltan (and other rare earths, and cobalt) mined through the labor of enslaved children in Congo, and the US and UAE fund the paramilitaries which protect those mines and keep those children enslaved.

Will the day ever come that psychiatry is actually held accountable for its atrocious responses to survivors of child sexual abuse? For the fact that it has been labelling survivors of CSA with personality disorders that make the world see them as abusers and monsters rather than as victims?

a man who i'm close with recently called me "intimidating" because i'm so "opinionated" and what i really think he meant was that i'm just smarter and more principled than him 😌 i'm still annoyed tho. makes me think of when Madonna said "weak men are afraid of strong women"

Part of mutual aid is responding to community needs. We recently purchased an industrial can opener for the pantry so folks can open canned food safely. It was kind of $$$, but it's what suits our needs. We're trying to recoup the costs if you'd like to donate <3: linktr.ee/dbn.mutual.aid
