I was in prison with moms who didn’t have anyone to care for their kids during their sentence. Their parental rights were permanently revoked, which is the most cruel and permanent collateral consequence that exists.

Twitter is like the nyc subway system - difficult to appreciate until it’s not there.

Inside of you are two wolves. One of them wants to live in a country where people of all genders/races/nationalities/sexualities/incomes have bodily autonomy. Which do you feed?

It’s really wild reading how US news outlets report on prison conditions elsewhere, as if solitary confinement, prison labor, psychological torment, and *checks notes* death by firing squads don’t exist here

Brittney Griner will enter a system of isolation, grueling labor and psychological torment when she is transferred to a penal colony, the successor to the infamous Russian gulag, to fulfill a nine-year sentence, former prisoners and advocates say. nbcnews.to/3DfzXxg

Took my six-year-old to the Met this weekend. Pointed out a Pablo Picasso painting. She said, “oh, I know Pablo.”

Joe and Kamala look like a president & VP from a 90’s movie except in the movie they wouldn’t be dealing with growing fascism, it would be more like “Mr. President you have to tell America that ur son’s a chimpanzee.” And then the chimp helps poor people somehow and is accepted.

Men/white people will be like “I’m so sorry that happened to you” and it’s a thing that happens like 3 times a day.

Bartender tried to “top off” my drink when I barely had two sips. He just offered a woman another drink and she said “no, get away from me!”
