I've never lived in a blue state before...kinda nervous. 🤭

Just a little bit longer, Steph.

I have moved out of Texas! I moved back in 2011 and have wanted to leave ever since. It’s crazy that I’m finally here!

Is it Monday yet?!? Whenever there's new Layer 8 Conference news, we get so excited and this is a big one!

The CFP closes on Sunday, so by the time you hear this, it'll be too late to join as a speaker! Get those in!

Stand by for this amazing announcement on Monday morning!!

Told my mom, who has lived in Texas majority of her life, that my new place doesn’t have parking.

My mom: Human beings built an apartment and expect you to keep your car on top of your head?

😂😂😂

Girl, with a POLICE knock!

I’m actually happy to be moving back into an apartment. Being in a house feels way too accessible.

And what’s with random people sending packages to my place and then letting me know, while the package is still outside, that they did so? Just take it, I knew I didn’t order anything…

Let how exhausted I look here give you a window into how hard mutual aid organizers have been pushing to keep our neighbors safe and housed when no one else will. Please write to your councilmembers and the mayor and urge them to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives!

WILD! I am still utterly appalled and have to engage my neurodivergence to forget what I saw. I’m genuinely not even able to fully process it.

I accidentally stumbled upon the most VILE AND REPUGNANT piece of information from the Epstein files and I dry heaved for 5 mins straight.

Then I cried.

Literal same for me.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

When I get to the end of March, I’m gonna do something really nice for myself.

I have noticed that when it comes to anti-Black racism, the ask is usually "let's minimize the impact because of the intent."

In too many instances, Black pain, embarrassment, and dehumanization come at the expense of absolving white guilt.

anonymized Venmo receipt showing -$1,850 paid out for rent funds to a Minneapolis immigrant family in need. The memo says “alquiler para tu familia”

First need met! Let’s keep this going!

Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, the second Minneapolis immigrant family I’m adopting the rent for has a total need of $1800. Can you help keep this family housed?

Thank you so much! 💖

I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE.

Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help?

We keep us housed 💛

Please share and help if you can! Thank you!

Patience has not consistently been my virtue 🥲

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

There’s, of course, a difference in expressed rage of the rap girlies. I think Megan thee stallion is mostly feel good rap, but Cardi B is very much expressing rage in her lyrics. Rico Nasty SOUNDS like rage, but lyrically I don’t always feel it.

Female rap is good for when you need a confidence boost AND for when you’re filled with rage.

It doessss 😭

Yeah, I don't say this often enough delete your fucking Facebook Threads Instagram Whatsapp Quest accounts

Lmao just saw a caption “microdosing hell by staying informed and educated” and truer words have never been spoken.

“Free” Surveillance Tech Still Comes at a High and Dangerous Cost Surveillance technology vendors, federal agencies, and wealthy private donors have long helped provide local law enforcement “free” access to surveillance equipment that bypasses local oversight. The

“Free” surveillance is a trap. Vendor trials, private donors, and federal grants hand police no‑cost tools that quietly build massive databases on all of us and feed ICE and DHS pipelines. Cities can and should refuse the bait. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Feliz día del amor y la amistad!

I got my V-day edible arrangement from my best friend 😭 after the shittiest week of shitty weeks, personally speaking, I needed this 😭😭😭 the balloons terrify my dog, which is hilarious.

I sent my single friends and my best friend V-day gifts. One of my friends is Colombian and she calls it “The day of love and friendship” in Spanish.

Yessss! Seeing your journey has definitely given me the push!

Gotta find somewhere to sign a lease to, though 😭😭

I cannot wait for this move. My whole body has been so excited for this move for MONTHS now! I cannot wait to bid Austin adieu. It has been such a rewarding chapter.
