I've been officially tiktok sober for a week now 😌

Don’t ever stop trying

In a world of Pete Hegseths, be a Rev. Mariann Budde.

Hero.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Whether there is the chance for a one-day miracle if I live long enough is irrelevant. The point is: I am alive, *today*, and at some point, I will not be. So if in a given moment I can make my or someone else's life better, that is what I should be doing, rather than obsessing over my illness.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris joined WCK’s efforts in Southern California, serving meals alongside people directly affected by the fires. Local chefs & volunteers, many of whom lost their own homes in the blazes, continue to show up daily to cook for their communities. #ChefsForCalifornia

However, a small reminder:

You can't reason with a Narcissist. You can't talk to them or expect them to show understanding.

Behaving like a decent person won't embarrass them or show them up, because they're always right. They will just accept your decency as submission, as is right and proper.

Flip the script on democracy's destroyers. It's Day One of the new phase of the fight for our democracy.

Some days feel like a total loss but I promise, good ones will come along! Head high baby! Middle finger higher!! #therealslimsherri #fyp #gonnabeokay

You can't throw a haymaker in this fight unless you focus ✊🏾

It should’ve been Kamala’s day today. 😭🫶

huh...

Do not forget your humanity 🙏🏾👍🏾
