One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.

The actual number is less than 1%.

Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Not gonna lie, little sad when your friends don’t want to fight and resist the current regime. Kinda makes me a feel a bit alone in my fight but I will join with my internet friends and push on.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Made my second donation tonight to resist! This time to Twin Cities Pride ! I am happy to be an ally and support all Minnesotans and more to be able to live as their true selves and love who they wish 🏳️‍🌈💙(cont.)

Just set up a monthly donation to my state’s Planned Parenthood! I suggest if you are able to, even it’s it’s $5, then do it! Every little bit helps protect women and families in this country! This is just one cause so far for me, but I’m researching other groups I can donate to!

Also buying physical media will be a goal this year, and trying to get that media from small businesses, or thrift stores will also be a focus!
Becoming more intentional about how and what I shop for is huge!

And you bet I will be using my witchcraft practice as a way to resist and fight!

Made a list for myself on the ways that I can help resist the regime! A lot of it is local community based but I feel that’s where I can start. I need to stop the doom scrolling and actually put in the effort to fight! Doom scrolling doesn’t do us any good!

Using what’s happening in the world to fuel my rage and get to work. Some of that work is getting strong in my mind and body. Maybe taking a self defense course as well. Become the book heroine that I look up too.

Getting covid at the start of 2025 was not my plan but at least I’m on the other side of it now

Even though most of us will probably never lead the charge, we all have a vital role to play in this battle before us.

It was never just another app.

It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻

I am understanding the appeal of RedNote though! It’s pretty great over there, Ngl!

Every app I’m on just feels so strange to me. None of this feels real. Doesn’t help that I’m also sick now 😷

Fantastic article from a wonderful, magical, witch🖤✨
“What if, one year, as Persephone is making her way back to the mid-world, she finds that her passage to spring is blocked?”

I decided to start writing again! In this one, I explore the themes of being stuck in liminal states. The in-between of cycles.

I hope you all enjoy!

Scrolling through all of my saved TikToks trying to quickly save as much as I can and all it’s doing is making me even more depressed as I relive the history of my fyp😭

This world is crazy.
