Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

My wife is collecting signatures for a sweet ballot measure in Michigan that would tax income over $1,000,000 to reduce class sizes while recruiting and retaining great teachers.

But they're way behind.

So she was tasked with bringing in someone who could help gather signatures.

Could it be you?

Y’all dont want a functioning democracy.

You wanna feel like good people and forget that other people in the world exist and are willing to sacrifice whomever for your own comfort.

You’re just as selfish and delusional as Trump supporters.

Posting this for anyone- myself included- who gets questioned for doing “white people stuff.” No, it’s our stuff. How do you think our ancestors survived, not just in the colonial diaspora, but in our ancestral homelands?
Being in nature is returning to our native roots also. 🍄 🌱

I vouch for this.

I was (and sadly still am) one of these people and I’d be on the street a year ago if it wasn’t for that.

It’s pure, it’s fulfilling, it’s community. And I try to pay it forward every chance I get.

I 100% get why Link did the mutual aid Fridays.

Like, every time someone replies by telling me the need is met is one less person struggling in the world.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
