Once when I was in tenth grade, my friend John overslept and missed our morning English class. He caught up with me after and asked if he could borrow my notebook — we had a test the next day and he wanted to copy my notes so he’d know what to study. I gave it to him without hesitation and said he could have it until the end of the day, but I did need to leave right after the bell so I wouldn’t be late for my dance class. I told him I’d meet him outside the boys’ locker room after school. We passed each other in the hallways a few times as the day wore on. He high-fived me at one point.

We weren’t extremely close, but had a lot of friends in common. We’d been at school together a few years by then. We’d been at the same parties, laughed together at school assemblies, sat next to each other on the bus heading to field trips here and there. He could be snarky, and though I hadn’t discovered my own snark yet, I appreciated it in other people as long as it wasn’t mean-spirited.

I went to a protest last week with my wonderful friend Susan. I joined her at the last minute and didn’t have time to make a pretty sign, but I had a little poster board and a stick, so I jotted down exactly how I felt — and later —when I got home, I posted a pic.

A lot of people said they wished they could have the text on a t-shirt, so in my essay this week I asked if anyone I knew had a t-shirt company. Extra credit if it was a woman-owned small business. Extra *extra* credit if they wanted to make the proceeds go to the ACLU (always doing incredible work to fight this administration, stand up for our immigrant community, and do everything possible to defend the rights afforded to all people under the Constitution), and The National Q***r and Trans Therapists of Color Network

If you are not familiar with them, they “sit at the intersection of the mental health field and movements for social justice.” They are doing such beautiful and important work.

To my utter delight, Wyrd Shirts appeared like a social justice superhero and made my t-shirt dreams come true. Not only that, she is donating 100% of the proceeds after cost to these two incredible organizations. I am not taking anything except the joy of raising money and awareness for some of the helpers out there. The helpers are hurting y’all. If you haven’t found a way to pitch in, maybe start with a t-shirt and go from there. She has other awesome designs and great causes up on her site.

There are two different styles, one for each of the organizations. For any men cool enough to wear these, look under women’s sizes in “Unisex”

Love y’all very much. Stay safe out there, and remember,

“Only the people can save the people.”

It’s a very sad day when there are videos from every angle and no doubt a woman was killed in cold blood because a man decided he was going to kill her — and people will still lie about what happened. They’ll watch the videos and see what they want to see, just like they watched what happened on January 6th five years ago, and decided afterward that was not an insurrection.

Those people with a noose yelling, “hang Mike Pence” and beating Capitol police officers with poles, breaking windows and doors and causing destruction on the Senate floor and through the halls of Congress were not violent rioters.

We all know what we saw and heard. It’s getting old. It’s killing us to pretend things are not what they are. It’s dangerous. If you are following a person who demands you pretend reality is different than what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears, it’s time to think about what you’re doing. Doesn’t matter if it’s your partner, your parent, or your president.

I wrote about it. To read:

Her name was Renee Nicole Good. She was a woman, a mom, a daughter, a wife and a poet. She should still be here. May her memory be a blessing.

This week’s essay is live. It’s about the best of us and the worst of us, and how you get to choose who you’re going to be.

As 2025 comes to a close and 2026 opens in front of us, there are reasons to scream into the abyss and reasons to have hope, but one thing is for sure — we are all neighbors, and we’re all visitors here.

Holiday post, 2025 edition. Love to all xx

I went to see It’s a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve — they play it on the big screen at a theater near us every year — and if that film fails to put you in the holiday spirit you probably have to give up for the season and try again next year.
