over half of the white women that voted, voted for trump. based on that fact alone, never mind the looooooooong history of white women stepping on others to get theirs first, is it really that unreasonable to some that women of color would distrust us?? you’re right, we absolutely need to be mindful and we need to…

does anyone else think that trump is like tommen from game of thrones? just signs whatever they put in front of him because it’s the one part of governing that he actually understands?
this is unconscionable. how do the people actually enforcing this ban justify it to themselves? ‘just following orders’? i just. i don’t understand, i DON’T understand. this executive order doesn’t have any teeth if the people designated to enforce it refuse to do so. how could you live with yourself, knowing that you…
honestly, it seems like the least i can do. i donate to the aclu, call my congresspeople to encourage them, and keep up a steady stream of dialogue and reposts/retweets on social media. i don’t want anyone i’m in contact with to get complacent for a second.
i know this is the smallest of first steps but damn if the aclu isn’t making me proud.

you’re amazing 💖
i have the worst lighting, but these are my current projects!
i started school this january to get my paralegal certification and these stories about attorneys answering the call and coming to help is just reaffirming my decision to go into law. i’m so jaded but i still have to believe that the courts and the government can be a force for good change.
commenting for the first time in a while because i have just been... i don’t. exhausted doesn’t seem like a strong enough word.

leia was everything i wanted to be— smart, funny, strong, respected. she was also (along with beyoncé) one of my first women crushes when i was figuring out my sexuality. carrie fisher has been so important to me through so many stages of my life. i’m just gutted that she’s gone.

i submit that referring to yourself as ‘dada’ is way more tacky than some boss-ass light up dinosaur shoes.
i’m not taking my eyes off of this situation for one fucking second, but my gods is this amazing news!
here’s the hat and pikachu i’ve done so far! i did some poke ball themed convertible mittens that i forgot to take photos of, too. i’m finishing up a charmander right now, and i really want to keep it!
knitting is the only thing keeping me sane right now, tbh. it’s so good to keep my hands and mind busy and have something to show for it at the end.
i had a really defeatist attitude about a possible recount earlier, but... what other option do we have? i won’t roll over and accept a trump presidency when there’s a chance, any chance at all, that this can be fixed.
when your wife and roommate work at whole foods, you just buy some pies and show up to whatever dinner you can find after the store closes. i’m so thankful i don’t work straight retail any more, i did my time at walmart when i was younger.
