Hi Seattle, Let's talk about gender equity. I know. It's awkward sometimes. But we've got a lot to learn!

On international #pronounsday *read this excellent thread* to learn more about how to correctly use pronouns [and what to do when you mess up occasionally, as we all do eventually]. Pronouns matter for #genderequity.
It's the first ever International #PronounsDay! I'm so excited and I want you to be excited, too.
Here are a few things to know about pronouns:
1. Many #trans people, myself included, HAVE to out ourselves & tell people our pronouns, if we want others to gender us correctly.
She/her/hers for me!
1/ Happy International Pronouns Day!
She/Her/Hers.
He/Him/His.
They/Them/Theirs.
Calling people by the correct pronouns matters. #pronounsday

2017: Republicans ram through a massive tax cut for the richest & put it on the US credit card.
2018: GOP sees credit card bill, acts shocked, & now says we must cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid for workers and families (the non-richest). – at Washington, DC

Hey @senatorfain. I just want you to know: It’s been a difficult to relive this, yes. But it’s been difficult for 11 years. And nothing was more difficult than that night. What would make it less difficult now: You engaging in honest conversation. medium.com/@candacefaber/57-…

Watch Kamala Harris get the FBI to admit that their investigation into Brett Kavanaugh was fixed
I am thoroughly disgusted with the @seattletimes continued endorsement of @senatorfain. The article makes it clear the board values "the life of the accused, his family and friends" over the life, family & friends of Candace Faber, the person he raped.

Yesterday was #IndigenousPeoplesDay2018 & I didn't post anything because I found it overwhelmingly hard to sum up how I feel about all the work we still need to do to heal the effects of colonialism & genocide. It's something I am still [& will always be] learning about.

This hurts. But even the fights we lose matter. Every time you called, and marched, and tweeted, you helped move us closer. And it was so close.
It’s ok to step back for a minute and take a breath. But you cannot give up. We still need you in this.
If @Sen_JoeManchin continues to support #Kavanaugh, he's willfully ignoring behavior that continues to demonstrate K is unfit to serve.
"Brett lied to the Senate by stating, under oath, that he never drank to the point of forgetting what he was doing"
washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
"What we are witnessing right now through the response to Kavanaugh — and the slow-roll comeback of various men held to account by #MeToo — is a large-scale dismissal of women’s reality."
