I am reminding myself that my resistance will come through denying the administration the chaos they seek. It will come by remembering that their plans and rhetoric are just the regurgitated policies that we have long defied. It will come through our insistent and urgent love for each other. We have the collective memory and mapmaking to guide us. That does not mean it won’t be scary. It will. It just means we will turn our fear towards care not chaos. Towards building not dividing. Thank you to everyone holding me. I will hold you too. I put my faith in us.

Posted • Yall know they are about to do it.

So here are some other things the good Rev. King said.

Posted • Posting this like I do every MLK Day.

I don’t have much else to say, except thoughts and prayers will not be enough for what’s coming. We need people to take action.

We need everyone to take action, especially yt folks.

MLK was radical, be more like MLK.

Posted • Day 15 of info for a new world and while there’s lots of ways to activist, direct action is among to most important in terms of disrupting business as usual.
This slightly older guide is based largely on Hong Kong protest tactics so do expect that some of this will need to be adapted for what you do in your community. To add to what is here…
⚡️Mask up. Mask up. Mask up. Yes bc of state surveillance but also bc “we keep us safe” includes not transmitting viruses in the midst of a quademic.
⚡️Do get some offline civil disobedience training in your area if you can. You’ll want to know more about how local police roll and make connections w ppl who can watch your back
⚡️ This guide focuses on “nonviolent” protest but we support a range of tactics. We don’t support peace policing or yellow vest culture
⚡️Not everyone can or should be in the streets protesting! You can provide beforecare, aftercare, work as a street medic, do jail support, monitor police chatter, etc.
⚡️This guide suggests a backpack and while I often carry a backpack, it is a risk if you’re on the frontline since it’s a convenient thing for cops to grab.
@ Veteran protestors - What else? What did we miss?

As a second-generation Chinese American, I grew up hearing my dad’s stories of escaping Vietnam, surviving in a refugee camp, and working tirelessly to build a life for his family of fifteen in the U.S. My mom’s journey immigrating from China carried its own weight. Their struggles shaped my upbringing in ways that were both spoken and unspoken—through their sacrifices, resilience, and the lingering effects of trauma they carried with them.

When I started my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University, I knew I wanted to support people with experiences like my own—individuals from BIPOC, immigrant, and families impacted by migration looking for a therapist who has also lived with the complexities of navigating multiple cultures and the often invisible challenges within immigrant families.

Our cultural backgrounds are central to how we understand ourselves and the world around us. I’m committed to creating a space where all parts of you are seen, valued, and explored—whether that’s your family culture, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or any other part of you or who you might be. Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and genuine. Therapy doesn’t have to be rigid or intimidating—it can include humor, creativity, and even moments of lightness. I believe healing is a deeply personal process, and I work to meet you where you are.

Many people like to ask about frameworks - I use person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral theories within an intersectional framework that honors all aspects of your identity. I also integrate somatic practices, recognizing the profound connection between the mind and body. I’m especially passionate about working with BIPOC individuals, immigrants, and refugees.

Posted • Today marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against S3x Workers. The goal is to create a world where all SWs can live free from violence, discrimination, & societal stigma.
•⠀⠀⠀
SW safety & dignity matters. Laws criminalizing SW & social media platforms banning SW drive the industry underground making it more dangerous.
•⠀⠀⠀
Without access to legal protections or online tools to screen clients & share safety info with each other, it makes it harder for SWs to protect themselves from both client & police violence.
•⠀⠀⠀
To say “SW is work” isn’t to say that all work is “good.” ANY kind of labor under capitalism is exploitative. However, regardless of whether or not you like your job, everyone deserves safety & respect for their autonomy.
•⠀⠀⠀
Criminalization makes violence & exploitation against SWs more likely. It also makes it harder for SWs to safely organize & improve their working conditions without fear of violence.
•⠀⠀
We need to protect, support, & fight for ALL SWs, especially trans SWs of color who are even more vulnerable. You can’t believe in trans rights if you don’t also believe in decriminalizing SW.
•⠀⠀⠀
And if you don’t believe s3x work is work or that s3x workers’ rights are human rights, then your complacency is giving rise to the violence.

Wishing and the team the best Wishes tomorrow and everyday they fight for our rights

Posted • This week, spoke with Chase Strangio (), civil rights lawyer and Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project, about the fight for transgender rights in an increasingly hostile political climate. On December 4, 2024, Chase will present oral arguments to the Supreme Court in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a landmark case challenging Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

Chase discussed the devastating impact of bans on gender-affirming care, which force families to uproot their lives to access essential care, and stressed the need for allies to counter harmful narratives and policies targeting the trans community. Despite the challenges, Chase remains hopeful, grounded in the resilience of trans people and the collective care that sustains them.

”For me I still treat every day as a gift. An opportunity to celebrate those that I love and the blessing that comes with being q***r and trans.“ 💬
