Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

today’s affirmations: I am porous and ecological. I am wearing cool shoes. I can cry profusely. I will eat a fresh scone. when a babies look at me I will smile and wave no matter what.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

husband is reading a used copy of All Quiet on the Western Front & and someone left post-its with insights like “author uses similes and metaphors to explain things” and “war and suffering is bad and changes people” and I always know when he finds a new post-it bc I can hear his anguished sighs
