For years I was so ashamed of my hideous red hands (and feet). I remember trying to hide them in my wedding photos. But now everyone I know with the neurovascular disorder #erythromelalgia has a phone full of pictures like this... 1/3

It's particularly tough when these flares happen "out in the wild," where we're unable to soothe with cooling gel-packs or similar. As luck would have it, this particular flare happened to me whilst heading to see my sainted rheumatologist. #erythromelalgia 3/3

Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/murray-…

"To the women listening: We have every right to demand the men in our lives do better by us. We have to use our voices to make these choices clear to the men that we love. Our lives are worth more than their anger and disappointment" —Michelle Obama

The "opportunity agenda for Black men" is fine... but I don't give a shit. I'm voting against a fascist soon, I'm good. And the overwhelming majority of Black men are too. It's the white guys who stay being the problem.

The problem in this election is not Black men voting for Trump. It’s white men voting for Trump. It’s always white men. If white men would stop voting for authoritarians, this election would not be close. Do something about the white men in your life.
“Political experts and organizers – who are also Black men under 50 – said the hysteria about their demographic defecting to the Republican party is overblown.” inquirer.com/politics/electi…
