If you're in Illinois, you're on Section 8, and your landlord tries to evict you because of the government funding freeze, email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. My cases are pay-whatever-you-can.

Like a rage room, but make it public?

Aaaaaand my favorite lines from them are black-woman led 🤨 (Jungalow anyone? Tabitha Brown?)

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

Please, please listen, I am literally begging you:

I'm a healthcare lawyer who is alive because of Medicaid. I just came from Hill meetings about Medicaid. I'm very plugged into "the groups" — if you're covered by Medicaid, do not cancel anything medical because of the OMB mess.

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis.

In 1933.

Just add us all to the group chat lol

I’m excited for you to read Somewhere Beyond The Sea and Come as You Are (WONDERFUL book for those of us recovering from purity culture📕)

Text reads ICE took one of my student's parents an hour ago their only legal guardian in the states. The SUV watched them from across the street, let them drop their child off at home, then met them at their place of employment. - With the assistance of their older sibling, I helped pack their belongings and sent them both out the door, directing them to find a new shelter. A part of our response is going to have to include quartering those who need shelter. I knew that on an instinctual level, but shifting into action and executing it are not the same. I am back at the school, at my desk, tears down my face, and I am so utterly fucking angry.

I can't say this loud enough - do not use social media to announce your activist plans, your plans to thwart government agents or policies.

Use apps with end-to-end encryption like Signal to keep in touch, plan, etc. Turn off your GPS. And FFS, don't post photos.

Don't give the enemy ammo.

My 8yo has elearning today. He’s literally shaking with excitement over his math assignment because it’s on geometry.

I love this kid. I love that he loves all things STEM, especially math.

Also, I can’t relate lol my specialty is IO Psychology 🤓

L.A. restaurants offering shelter, discounts and food to fire evacuees and first responders These L.A. restaurants and coffee shops are staying open to shelter evacuees, offering discounts and, in some cases, free food to evacuees and first responders to the numerous ongoing fires in Souther...

Here is an ongoing list of LA restaurants that are offering shelter, food, and support to first responders and evacuees:

I can find the perfect analogy for anything. I can illustrate a complex idea with simple language and graphics.

Ex: explaining the concept and structure of atoms to my 8yo tonight. Alongside string theory lol

Hey exvangelical Bluesky!

Did you ever attend Scottsdale Bible Church (in Scottsdale AZ) or do you know anyone who did? If so, please DM me

To be perfectly clear, I absolutely LOVE his unbridled curiosity and scientific mind. I treasure these conversations and even fudge bedtime by a few minutes to finish them 😉

Also, my understanding ended at quarks so I’m going to need to find some version of “a 3rd grader’s guide to string theory”

Bedtime conversations with my 8yo started with meaning making in the known universe, to string theory, to atoms, to quarks, and ended on the scientific origins of farts and queries on the effects of a nuclear fart from his butthole into his bedroom.

So that was my Monday evening.
