The Journal I Found After My Mom Died: How Writing Can Be a Portal Through Grief

[Jason Pennel @JasonPennel13]

Say no to @autismspeaks @MSNBC ! They do not speak for the nuerodivergent!

Any conversation about wage equality that takes the position - either implicit or explicit - of, “If I’m not paid fairly then no one else should be,” is an inherently flawed and conservative position.

@gmail @gellathiiin After the outage the other day, I am still not receiving confirmation or recovery emails - and in turn I'm locked out of an account of mine. Can you help me?

[Melissa @FollowsFire]

@JGray1221 Hi, same! Today I've been sent confirmation emails and they're not coming through. I haven't found a way to contact gmail - do you have any clue what to do? Thanks for your help :)

[Melissa @FollowsFire]

@servicesdown_ I am having issues with not receiving all emails

[Melissa @FollowsFire]

@webbie Is this still an issue for people? I am still not receiving some emails (it's Thursday) and wondering if this is system wide

[Melissa @FollowsFire]

@MaxBenesi I’m sorry, Max. So glad you were graced with such a sweet spirit.

[Melissa @FollowsFire]

@MaxBenesi Agreed. So did John Rothman. A circus 🤦🏻‍♀️

@goodreads A Yellow Raft on Blue Water. It took me 100 pages to get into it - I almost gave up - but by the end I was beyond moved. A great example of how differently we all experience life.

We don’t lie down and keen. We warrior up. I would say, Details to follow, but we know the great action steps: keep the faith. Adopt a swing state. Donate what you can to good candidates and food banks; make us ever mindful of the needs of the poor. And remember: grace bats last.

A piece I wrote years ago - but is all too relevant today. I’m guessing we humans will always need to remember this.

@nicolesjchung At four months I was still numb. Hugs. Honestly, the more time that goes by the less I believe she’s gone. Seven years for me. But I dream about her so often - it feels like I saw her yesterday because of that. I hope your mom visits you in dreams 💜

“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.”

I’m getting scared that we’re forgetting Breonna Taylor- those cops haven’t even been arrested. Please remember black women. Please let’s keep fighting for her.

@lindsayoxford Omg look at you 😻😻

[Melissa @FollowsFire]

Sounds about right

[ANNE LAMOTT @ANNELAMOTT]

I heard from God today, through my spiritual ears. God said, “Let us celebrate the anniversary of your birth by only eating fats and sugar. Thus will you prove your love for Me.” Who am I to defy the word of God? Right? So I said, “Well, okay. Whatever,” to keep my family safe.
