I’m a sucker for dysfunctional/quirky families that harbour a deep love for one another 🤷🏻‍♀️

Goodnight, Lovelies 💕🌙✨

It’s been such a warm Fall here, but apparently that’s changing tonight!
But for now, we still have a few of the fancy sparrows visiting while they rest up before continuing their journey.
One of my favourites is the Harris’s Sparrow and this one was having a good drink!

Was just thinking about her last night.

Thinking about how much I loved her portrayal as the mom in The Family Stone, a movie that I make a point of watching every Christmas .

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 13h

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

It’s actually good and right to find joy even as things fall apart. Now more than ever it is good to find joy and happiness where you can. It’s ok and good not to consume the horrors all of the time.

10000 times this. My son requires incredible amounts of support and intervention and his joy lights up a room like a miniature star.

Shannon Rosa @shannonrosa.bsky.social · 1d

…and I would note that autistic joy is a thing regardless of an autistic person's support profile. My high-support autistic son is capable of more joy than anyone I've ever met.

"If you removed our autism you would remove us. Everything you love &hate about us would be gone. We'd fundamentally be completely different ppl. So if you love an autistic person, their autism is part of what you love about them." By @autiebiographical.bsky.social:

You can't love someone but hate their autism. It's a part of who we are. Yes, you can dislike parts of our autism, like I'm sure there are parts of other people you don't like. However, the parts of.....

In no uncertain terms, Ms Proudfoot in today’s @theglobeandmail.com justly calls out petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre for the lies he tells about who’s at fault for the challenges 🇨🇦Canada faces.

I am honestly unsure at this point if the government will ever open back up in its previous form. The RIFs coupled with what will likely be massive nationwide protests on the 18th is, I think, going to push Miller and co. into trying to create an alternate structure to consolidate more power.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
