@Simply_Rain_S @RandiFoorDalton My grandmother went almost her entirelife believing her birth name was Barbara Ella, but had to dig up a birth certificate to start collecting social security and found out her birth name was Ella Katherine. Everyone called her Bunny.

So there’s a bit of coronavirus I want to shed a little perspective on as someone with chronic illnesses - the long term effects.
Dying is scary, but we all know that. But I suspect some people without chronic conditions have no idea what it’s like to live with one.

My colleague and I have spent months trying to teach a new process to a certain team. All other teams have had about a 90% success rate with this new process. But not this team. I’m starting to understand why the rest of the company just lets them do everything else wrong too

Good morning! I hope you change your world for the better today. If you doubt you can, start small and support those who are doing big things. Fix what you can, help others fix what they’re trying to.

@ChuckWendig They’re about 3x bigger than you think they are and can do serious damage when spooked or angry

Today's challenges to unfuck your various habitats:
-Find 5 things out of place in your home and put them back where they belong
-Follow 5 accounts of Black writers or activists speaking on #BlackLivesMatter
-If you can, donate $5 to a bail fund or local mutual aid org

@PumaTwoPointO @RunnTDC @_jgoody @ecksjay I grew up in one of these towns and it’s jarring, because these people are so good at taking care of each other in ways they would call “communism” if they had to extend that care outside their own circle.

@atomicwick @Drunk_Austen If anyone hasn’t heard of it, I strongly recommend checking out Pride by Ibi Zoboi. It has everything you’re looking for and more! https://t.co/91hvdgR8ZU

Got a few people announcing their unfollows because they’re here for cleaning tips, not anti-racism. That’s fine. If you don’t see how this is working toward unfucking a larger habitat, you’ll probably be more comfortable with a different housekeeping system.

Today, take a look at who you’re following on social media. Are you seeing the words of Black activists, academics, businesspeople, and influencers? Purposefully diversify your feed, & remember that you don’t need to participate in every conversation. That’s how you learn & grow.

Y’all can understand a white kid shooting up a school cuz he was bullied after 4 months of school but don’t understand why an oppressed group is compelled to burn shit down after 400yrs

[Unfuck Your Habitat® @TeamUfYH]

Today, read something by a new-to-you Black writer, find a Black-owned business to support, and amplify Black voices, especially those you’ve learned something from. If you’re in a position to, donate to bail funds or mutual aid organizations.
