"Let’s go, Kansas! For the first time since 1932, the state will send a Democrat to the U.S. Senate. Pro-choice pastor Adam Hamilton defeated Republican incumbent Roger Marshall—a ‘pro-life’ OBGYN who had patients arrested over medical debt." https://jessica.substack.com/p/we-did-it

Overwhelm, burnout, and crushing guilt are not the right fuel for the revolution. Unfortunately, many activists slog through them day after day. (Many more folks won’t even consider themselves activists because they’re mired in this toxic sludge.) I’m creating a planner for sustainable solidarity. It helps you create a realistic focus, narrowing your scope based on how it fits in the rest of your life, and acknowledging all the ways you make the world a better place—not just whatever you idoliz...

Surviving DV is a long haul. Escape is just the beginning. Family court has cost me about $15,000 so far, not to mention the unmeasurable abuse that occurred because I thought I couldn&#39;t afford a lawyer at the beginning. There&#39;s another $1,654 bill due this week. It won&#39;t end until the court guarantees us long-term safety. And until then, our lives are on hold. My credit is stretched so thin, I can&#39;t even independently qualify for car insurance. This is not wh...

A friend of mine is a survivor of long-term stalking. It's exhausting, terrifying, and now it's threatening their housing—they're facing eviction next week, along with their child. If you're able to help, please do!

It's me! My hope is to make this account my primary and @natoleander@mastodon.social my backup. For those who don't know me, I'm 37 and I live in the Cascadia region of Turtle Island, on Duwamish land in Seattle, WA. I'm a solo parent of a toddler who just turned 2 years old, and have been in court for over a year since leaving my child's abusive father. I will generally share about my experiences as a DV survivor with content warnings, but since this is an intro, I'm ke...
