So, hi. It’s been a bit.

Here’s one about citizen-led ballot initiatives (or referendums), with some extra info specific to PA & Pittsburgh.

And now, here I am a decade later, getting cornea transplants.
(No, not from her. Corneas are only viable for a week or so.)

9) In the same spirit, understand and value the scale at which you can work. You know a language that detained kids at the border speak? Translate for them. You can offer to take care of your neighbor’s kids while they organize the local tenant’s union. Do it. It’s vital work.

8) Nobody needs a fucking hero. Just do something. Every day. Play to your strengths and do what you can. I am a researcher and have no delusions about being an organizer. But I produce work that is actionable and I deliver it to people who can use it. That’s all I can do and it’s enough.

We don’t study the Reconstruction era of US history nearly enough when I personally think we really REALLY need to.
I also honestly & truly think the reason we don’t is entirely by design.
I think it’s especially relevant in this current climate when you look at Andrew Johnson’s role cumulatively.
