I finally got my strike stipend checks — let’s see, the strike ended on July 9th and today is…
Glad I wasn’t depending on that money to help me thru the lean times.
Seriously I’m grateful for the stipend but it was so chaotic on how they were processed and when they were ready for pickup.

So um, I came home with a new machine today. I wasn’t planning on adding a serger to my machine collection, but it really will be nice to have with all the garments I’m making now.

What a difference 12 hours makes. When I headed out to the picket line this morning, this #ParkerPile was pretty barren. Tonight the four dumpsters at Red Lion & Calera are overflowing and the street loaded with trash.

City workers shouldn’t have to fight for what they’ve already earned.
AFSCME DC33 workers are still waiting on a fair contract.
They deserve raises.

Had a call w/ my brother today — who lives in red Central Indiana. I learned he’s not red like I thought and we both commiserated over how more conservative/MAGA leaning our mom has become. And what started out as just a quick call /1

Let's set the wayback machine to January 20, 2018. On that day, the rapist in-chief talked about "American carnage" in his inauguration speech. Well, he couldn't accomplish it back then, but now he's finally got it, and this is just the beginning.

I contacted my representatives today. Over the past 4 weeks, Trump has written executive orders to change the constitution. We move away from the constitution and toward a fascist dictatorship daily. This is not an administration that one should compromise. This is an administration that we fight.

I’m exhausted. Physically and mentally. I go to bed early hoping I’ll be “refreshed” by morning but that doesn’t happen. Mentally I swing between rage and tears. I don’t know how long I can continue like this. Fuck Trump. Fuck Musk. Fuck Vance.
