  1. Honor. Respect. Remember. 🕯️

    🌅Today, on a beautiful day, I attended Officer Enmanuel “Manny” Familia’s 5‑year public memorial for the first time. Grateful to meet his family, friends, and officers from Worcester Police and surrounding departments.

    🗣️ Hear Chief Paul Saucier speak of Manny’s integrity, service, and sacrifice.

  2. Postpartum Struggles Reframe Parenting: From Isolation to Interdependence

    A recent report compares US parenting to India's family support. It says US parents often feel alone, unlike in India where families help more.

  3. Everyday Acts of Care as Resistance in Our Communities

    Resistance encompasses diverse actions beyond physical presence, such as mutual aid and community care, which are crucial forms of support. These involve sharing resources, checking on neighbors, and behind-the-scenes organization, often led by disabled and neurodivergent individuals. Helping others is a vital form of resistance that emphasizes sustainability and connection within communities.

  4. I have founded a group for abuse survivors (of past or present abuse) and those who question whether they were or are experiencing or witnessing abuse or coercive control or undue influence or someone is using power over them and retaliating against them when they don't "behave".

    I myself survived childhood sexual abuse, incest, abuse by a cult, my therapist, psychiatry nurses, sibling, friends, queerplatonic partner/girlfriend, roommate and harrassment from a nazi neighbor plus landlords. I kinda got a bad start to life (in germany) and then people tended to make it worse instead of helping me or they took advantage of me.

    So I learned a lot about what does and doesn't help!

    And I want to help you out, whether you went through something you fear no one will believe or be able to stomach hearing about, or you think it was probably nothing and you overreact. You don't overreact! Nothing is too small to be worth talking about.

    I'm making a space to have a warm, supportive, good vibes atmosphere that we co-create together. We'll help each other grow and see through confusions and distortions of the truth and gain more agency, to make choices, decisions and do stuff and have an impact on the world.

    We'll also have fun and laugh and cry and eat cookies and discover what it's like to argue with someone who doesn't slice you to ribbons emotionally.

    Anyone is welcome regardless of age, gender, ability, neurotype, location or background. I just ask that you help make the group a good space, be that by complaining when everyone else is too polite to say anything or by listening or by sharing. Please don't worry that by joining you'll take up too much space or take resources away from someone who might need them more — you ARE our space and our resources!

    The first step is, once we have at least a handful of people, to decide when and how often to meet.
    I use @delta delta chat for its privacy and because it works with spotty internet and very little tech knowledge. It works on desktop and mobile. You can download the app from google's or apple's appstore or FDroid or their website delta.chat (watch me not get the preview to work)
    It was super easy to make an account and didn't require anything other than a username - no phone number or email address (or password).

    DM me for an invite, which is a link that you click to join the group. The group is invite only to keep out spam and abusers.

    Please boost and share this post, including on other sites or however it works for you, or by talking about it and linking here.

  5. Join us in the PWO Community as we continue Facilitated Conversations on Mediocre and White Women, Get Ready. Together, we’re practicing what it means to build a supremacy-, coercion-, discrimination-, and exploitation-FREE future.

  6. That’s what we’re exploring inside the Profit Without Oppression (PWO) Community, a space to name the harm, reclaim our worth, and co-create new ways of being rooted in care, dignity, and truth. You don’t have to navigate this grief alone.

    Because healing is personal, but it’s also political. And it’s always more powerful in community.

  7. Accompanied my Mom to doctor's appointment this morning. This was mainly for getting another prescription for her recurring gout issue. She got a physical checkup too. Her doctor & his MOA were masked up. None of the other medical clinic staff & no other patients were masked.

    Location of masking report: Burnside Medical Clinic - office in lower part of building - there's a different office with same name on main level.
