I'm trying😭 I want a new EV but dealerships here only get 1-2 in every 2-3 months and they're either sold before they arrive or the day of arrival. The dealer I'm working with has expanded the search for mine to a 400 mi radius and every inquiry is a dead end.

There are three proposed amendments to our North Carolina state constitution on the ballot this year, and this week, we're talking about each of them. Today is Part 3: the income tax amendment. Our recommendation: vote against all 3. 🙅‍♂️

…. I now firmly believe Good people have to concentrate on infrastructure and support and stop arguing with people whose only real language is dominance and hierarchy I don’t mean “resist” I mean deep committed , warm non engagement and firm boundaries with clear communication

There was a mini-nazi rally not too far from me. A lot of commentary on social is surprise. Meanwhile I remember the day after the 1st fascist in chief election driving to work and seeing the klan draped a banner on the highway "Time's up N*ers". They're somewhat quieter but never gone.

Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

In this big year of 2026 I'm the 1st Black person to go into the HoF for this sector professional org in its 60+ yr history. They asked me for photos of myself with colleagues in the sector for the ceremony reel. I sent them a dozen photos with no white people in them. We've been here. Do better.

A problem is that many people know that the vast majority of the people who voted for the fascist in chief in 2024 would vote for him again today. So folks know that many people are politically untrustworthy. It adds to the malaise.

My husband learned early and is reminded often that if some dude acts an ass to someone and he doesn't say something to him before I do I'm cussing his ass out too. And that goes for any guy in our group of friends. Physical threats aren't even necessary. "Cut it out, man" from him will do.

I’m not technically a cis man, but I am thought of as one to most people outside of queer communities, and I do this whenever I can. It really does work. If you get pushback, just ask the person to explain why they think the joke is funny. It works. It’s easy. Please do this.

As you organize, teach, write or do whatever it is you do for our collective please ask yourself if you’re actually fighting for freedom or are you fighting to access privilege. I think people get these two confused as little too often and I’m getting effing tired. #communityasrebellion

The quote that went around when Wendell Berry died, "the next great division of the world will be between people who wish to live as creatures and people who wish to live as machines" comes to mind *often* these days. Trying to live as a creature is becoming my north star.

Mousetrap 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Aside from 1 plot thread that was random & unnecessary, this was a solid 10 eps that had me guessing the entire time & great characters. It was plot heavy but it didn't cheat or dumb it down, and the ending was fitting. Really good use of gallows humor too.

I made a vid connecting the Cornell U fraternity gangrape case to multiple other stories in the news this week about how our society minimizes and excuses the violence that men commit against women. I was careful to bleep out words and be very general in my descriptions. YouTube will not clear it.

What Happened to Talenti?
Over the past 20 years, Talenti has changed from a small, independent brand to a piece of a corporate conglomerate. Has that affected its quality?

An important thing we’ve been practicing for YEARS already with our 3 year old twin boys. “Can I give you a kiss?” And if they say “no” we don’t give them a damn kiss. They now ask us, too, and we practice that it’s okay to be disappointed and also FINE if we ever say no. This is about Cornell.
