As y'all transition to offline event planning, Do Not Forget The Many Who Cannot Leave Home
Even with all the safety precautions in mind, remember that folk being left out because they are home is not new it's only now a more collectively familiar experience
It’s so fishy to me that there wasn’t a moratorium on rent with a bank bailout, at least here in the US, where, in the past, the banks were bailed out for stuff that was there own fault.
The eviction ban in England ends today.
Thousands of families are at risk of being made homeless in the coming months.
During the crisis the Government offered homebuyers (inc buy-to-let landlords) a £4 billion stamp duty cut.
Money provided to deal with rent debt: £0.
Briefly about @naomiosaka from a 45-year vet of sports media:
Steve Carlton didn’t talk to the @mlb media and was never threatened with suspension/fines.
Marshawn Lynch doesn’t talk. George Hendrick didn’t. Bill Belichick literally gives lip service.
But a woman? DESTROY HER!
We have to start teaching children about rejection at a young age in schools. We have to teach them about consent. We have to teach them that “no” is not the end of the world, nor is it an attack. It’s merely a “no.”
The public’s inability to relate to homelessness is our biggest obstacle to ending it. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, Invisible People is CHANGING THE NARRATIVE ON HOMELESSNESS. Support our important work for as little as $2 a month. https://t.co/p3gTlAo8nE
@blkgirllostkeys @BeingKaylaSmith But I don’t think they feel incentivized or empowered by it. Someone was saying recently that tokenism is more of an incentive. That having a token friend or allyship is more of a commodity. I have to research about that.
@blkgirllostkeys @BeingKaylaSmith Nice to see you too! I have been having some trouble shifting back to my natural sleep cycle for my current job. I thought it would be faster!! So anyway. Community race care. I mull and mull over it. And ally power is REALLy key. See something, say something, do something.
@BeingKaylaSmith Is there anything we can do to help black autistics? I've been seeing a lot of racism in my facebook social groups as well towards black autistics.
@blkgirllostkeys @BeingKaylaSmith You mentioning this before has been on my mind lately because I have been thinking about how everyday Blackness and everyday discrimination and prejudice has people get so cree-cree cricket silent when it’s mentioned.
@BeingKaylaSmith I hate that you are going thru this. I hate that the first time I get to experience what you have to say that it’s because you’re driven away by double marginalization.
What's that ADHD thing called when you struggle with enjoying leisurely time, so you just end up doing NOTHING? Or, if you try to enjoy it, you just feel really bored and get kinda depressed?
(Do not say "Executive Dysfunction" - that's the obvi part)
