In January, someone came into my comments on #Mastodon for a second time, upset at my #advocating for loved ones.

Each time with the same message; that, for this person's benefit, those seeking #mutualaid should just go and quietly 💀, not speak out in pain and anger, as needs go unmet.

It's made this platform feel unsafe, that those who claim to fight against #eugenics & #fascism, often don't see the contradiction.

In Episode 47, Amanda shares the passion and frustration of what it's like to be a nurse in the American healthcare system.

My girlfriend @SabiLewSounds.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy is a brown person, who's part of an #immigrant brown family and she's fighting to keep herself and her mom and bun safe. I implore you, if you speak against #racist rhetoric, help me in #advocating for the #survival of this #homeless family.

I was reflecting with my husband on the situation where other kids’ behavior was #triggering me and my son on Saturday. He was firm in #advocating for his needs, did so in a socially acceptable manner, didn’t melt down when ignored, and completed his event immediately after in fine form.

He’s struggled and battled a lot of ableism and ignorance in schools, but with great support has built up his skills and #resilience. I’m really proud of him. ❤️
