Don’t design a new women’s prison @HDR_Inc - listen to formerly incarcerated women and pull out of the project NOW! Stop profiting off the suffering of communities! #NoNewWomensPrison #LifeAtHDR

@fatnutritionist Thank you, I needed to hear this <3 I also went from "60 to Zero" with my activity level and have had a hard time not criticizing myself for that.

[Ryan Helen Dorsey @RYANinHD_87]

@itsaishawhite I believe you and I stand with you. Your bravery inspires the same in others. Thank you for speaking out <3

Railroad history was made by the Pullman Company in Chicago. But did you know that the first labor union for African-American workers was born here? The stories of Pullman National Monument helped transform the labor and civil rights movements. #LaborDay https://t.co/7Jdmv4C9M2

This feels like relief to me, letting go of that kind of anti-racist work. I always hated confrontation so this frees me up to focus on my strengths: direct reparations, disrupting racism in everyday interactions, centering BIPOC voices, and getting the hell out of BIPOC's way.

Can 'allies' please stop trying to "get through" to racists and change their minds?

When y'all challenge racists it shouldn't be with the purpose of getting them on board with not being pieces of shit. That's not why we confront white supremacy.

Nobody told me that our 30s are the age of both self-actualization AND painful spinal injuries from everyday movements.

If your response to seeing a Black man shot over and over in the back is to say “he should’ve followed instructions,” you are the problem. "Not complying" with an officer is NOT punishable by death under any circumstances, let alone an extra-judicial execution. #BlackLivesMatter

I don't know about everybody else that's living through a global pandemic, but...March was the longest year of my life. #coronavirus #COVID19

@Coffitivity I love your app, truly I do, but you do know that the tagline for your Lunchtime Lounge track says, "Busting chatter" and not "Bustling chatter," right?

It literally does not matter which piece of equipment I use, which out-of-the-way corner I try to tuck myself into, or what exercise I'm trying to do, I will ALWAYS be in someone's way at the gym, without fail.

November/Native American heritage month is over but guess what:

*You’re on #NativeLand year round*

*You can still honor and celebrate us every day of the year*

Dorsey 2020: Love it ❤️

(Well, that worked out surprisingly well.)

[Ryan Helen Dorsey @RYANinHD_87]

@isabella324 You're damn right I am. We never settled that Foursquare Mayor of the Nonprofit Center dispute! 😂

[Ryan Helen Dorsey @RYANinHD_87]

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but you can hold space for feeling happiness AND for feeling sad (or hurt or angry or...) AT THE SAME TIME. You can feel both and it's okay. Nothing is fucked here.
Your sadness does not diminish your joy.
