They couldn't even stop doing police brutality at the police brutality protest.

"They were still saying then that this was a finite situation, but even then it didn’t feel like it. Instead it felt like my life before had been the illusion, a foolish notion to think I could live outside the traps of my gender and the home." @jsv713 https://t.co/2DqZkOmj8Y

"I was raised by a single mother in New York City. My childhood was lived out as much in parks, restaurants, subways, and buses as it was inside the home. My mother was aided in my rearing by a bevy of adults." @jsv713 on the trauma of GOING NUCLEAR https://t.co/Vzchn9zRyQ

"Three days before we left Brooklyn to merge with another family in the woods, I almost punched my hand through the glass pane of our front door."

A headline I'd appreciate: NYers stare down isolation & severe economic losses to protect the vulnerable in their community. aka: throw us a freakin' bone. We're doin our best in the face of zero preparation from govt leaders. #raisingbabiesendofdays #covidliving #muthamagazine
