"Advanced imaging" are the important words here.

On International Day of the Girl, I celebrate the courage & brilliance of girls who keep building a better world with imagination and fire. For thirty years I have worked shoulder to shoulder with young women fighting their way out of poverty, trafficking and incarceration with power, beauty & grit.

But you wouldn’t know this if you watched Fox, or listened to any other lying right wing propaganda channel. 😏

Stole this from Cinema Now on Facebook but it couldn't be a better reminder of some of the greats that left us in 2025

If this bullshit is the best they could come up with to go after Letitia James, she must be ridiculously clean.

“…it’s also learning from the more recent 21st [Century]. From people who are sometimes my peers, or people who are younger than me, who have ALREADY experienced many, PRECISELY, in some cases, precisely the kinds of things we are just starting to experience, right?”

Exactly this. I have an escape route in the works with my family but I am also excruciatingly aware that I am one of the lucky ones. Many have no options at all right now. I feel very guilty... But my joy and survival are great acts of resistance nonetheless. Joy is our fuel for the fight ahead. ❤️

I don't know if it's that, or that you have to have some scrap of normalcy to keep you sane, and incentive to fight to get more back. I have an outward appearance of maintaining, but inside I'm cracking like a calving iceberg. Huge, huge hugs to you. 💓💓💓

Tetris or Animal Crossing helps too. Or knitting or embroidery.

Burn out is real. Self care is critical! You can't water from an empty cup.

Oh boo. I've been marching and protesting and blockcading a and please PLEASE take it from this street medic. You've gotta do something to take yourself out of it. I have a garden, I like to just turn the soil over and pluck the weeks out and ID the butterflies in it.

Survivors guilt is a real thing. I think many of us are experiencing it. Personally I haven’t experienced any hardship yet but it still shreds my soul to see what is happening. Anyone with any amount of compassion or integrity is affected by it all. If we stop feeling it then our humanity is lost.

But is that good or bad? Should some lives continue as normal while others are ripped apart?

Why do I feel guilt for living my life? I know its necessary for my mental health to step away every now and then, but that guilt always creeps in.

Not sure the point to this, but figured I'd share.

Today I was out and about. I had no time nor really the desire to be on my phone checking the news.

But at the very same time, any quiet or still moment, I couldn't stop thinking about everything that is going on around us. How it seems the country still chugs along as if its not happening.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.
