I have so many cravings for specific food items that no longer exist. I’m thinking of you Mexican/Italian restaurant on Damen with the most amazing salsa!

There should be a German word for the specific nostalgia you feel for a menu item at a restaurant that went out of business.

Personally, I feel like we need to start shifting the conversation from “we need diverse stories because we need to balance representation” to “narratives from marginalized folk have inherent value, not tied to their ability as a mirror or a category”

This just makes me so happy.

To survivors of any trauma who worry about being believed, or that their situation wasn’t “bad” enough or “too” bad, or fear being branded or deemed “manipulative” for telling the truth: I see you.

Community is here for you. You are safe with me, & with all of us. You are loved!

If you’re considering honoring Cicely Tyson by buying her memoir, please buy it from a black owned bookstore.

Amazon doesn’t need the money.

I just couldn’t today. I woke up and went back to bed. I think the last couple of weeks caught up to me. Today was a shouldless day

@ambernoelle Yes! I missed my brain functioning!

I love the people tweeting about things going back to normal after the current president fades away. Let’s not go back to normal. Let’s hold the people we elected accountable to change shit yah? So much is fucked why would we stop here? Why now?

[Kandy @Meander_Design]

I feel like I’m holding my breath until tomorrow. Even though it’s only the first steps and the start of work that needs doing.
