In order to vote in his first election, my father paid a poll tax. My dad. Not my great great grandfather, my father. He is very much still alive. He voted today. No poll tax required. I am so proud to his daughter.

If you can shop online--especially with any sort of regularity or high frequency--you can shop secondhand.

When it comes to fashion, that's not just clothes: there's an entire world of pre-loved shoes, belts, purses, jewelry, etc. that you can access online.

Walk with me. 🧵

WCK served 200,000 meals to displaced Palestinians today as we resumed work in Gaza. We’ve provided more than 43 million meals in Gaza to date. 276 WCK trucks are ready to enter through Rafah with enough food for 8 million meals. We’re also sending trucks north.

I think if independent/ethical designers constantly have to explain why their items are so expensive, then exploitative fashion brands should have to explain—explicitly, in all their marketing and on every product page—why their items are so cheap.

There’s a huge campaign on TikTok for these things so, reminder: THESE ARE PLASTIC. Plastic does not “dissolve” it becomes microplastics that go down the drain, get in the water, get into fish’s bloodstream and then into yours. Oh, and the sky and rain.

American Symphony, a film from @HGMedia, is directed by the talented Matthew Heineman and follows the journey of @JonBatiste and @SuleikaJaouad. It’s an intimate portrait of the healing power of art and love through personal success and private struggles. I hope you’ll check it out on Netflix on November 29th.

Let's all stop pretending that social media content calendars are all pristine and perfect objects and just embrace the fact that they are always evolving works in progress and generally a bit chaotic?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.

The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.

The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.

The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.

The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.

This is what we need to scream everywhere:

If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.

We have the answer. It’s the guns.

BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.

Our voices are stronger together! RETWEET to stand with us against @CMSGov’s decision to block FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatments. People living with early Alzheimer's and their families deserve #MoreTime. #AccessNow

[Inner Practitioner @MindTendencies2]

When being with someone naturally feels like self-care, calms you, and makes you love yourself more, you know it's time to reciprocate and invest more in the relationship.

If we can cancel trillions in taxes for a handful of billionaires, we can cancel student loan debt for over 40 million Americans.
