Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

CDC warns of huge COVID spike amid internal chaos The COVID increase comes amid a surging "stratus" variant and the return-to-school season.

As a disabled person who’ll have to be unmasked for a procedure in 2 weeks, I’d be so grateful if folks who don’t usually mask considered pitching in to help curb this surge.

N95s work best but if what you’ve got is cloth, popping it on to go into the grocery store is way better than nothing!

Stop waiting for them to save us.

Every time they ease up, we forget 500 years of brutality.

Liberation starts when we build our ownβ€”our art, our care, our glue between each other. That’s the work we’re doing inside Black Octopus Society.

Went grocery shopping this morning and saw 7 other people masking in the store and we all nodded at each other or did little fist pumps in the air.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Been toggling between overdoing it and letting myself rest. Chronic health flare ups really disorient me but trying to ride it out.

The neighborhood harvest continues!
I’ve been really enjoying our weekly meet up with people on the block. Bringing handfuls of beans, bowls of Kale and armloads of zucchini. We chat for a little and share what we have. Highly recommend block community gardens.
All this veg!

My neighbors and I started a community garden where different houses grow different crops to share.
Just picked fresh onion from a neighbor’s garden.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced β€” it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

The infestation of capitalism into our inner monologues and sense of self is huge. But seeing friends who are also aware and trying to make new narratives is part of the remedy.

From Aspiration to Action: Organizing Through Exhaustion, Grief, and Uncertainty β€œSome days, my best efforts feel insufficient and overwhelming at the same time.”

Grateful to everyone who shared their thoughts with me for this piece about the difference between how people imagined they would show up for a moment like this one, and how we're actually showing upβ€”and how we can begin to close the gap between aspiration and action.
