I can’t believe we’re letting school boards decide what books are in school libraries. Trust librarians!

James Baldwin Response to “Why must you always concentrate on color?”

Keep going.

Do not aim to suppress or avoid any experience that is here. Simply bring mindful attention to your experience in this very moment. If this is hard for you, you're in good company. For many of us, this is a lifelong practice.

A practice for whenever you feel distressed: Invite your muscles to relax around any areas in the body where you feel an emotional experience. Imagine yourself making space for the emotion. Direct compassionate attention to the physical experience of the emotion.

Don’t ban books! x.com/childdefender/…

It’s #WorldContraceptionDay! 🫶 Everyone should have affordable access to the repro health care they want and need—including contraception. Now that Opill® is available on shelves & online across the US, we must ensure it is stocked nationwide & accessible w/o barriers.

Knoxville residents should call 311 to report downed trees blocking roads. Public service crews are posting barriers in roadways known to flood.

Knoxville’s own David Keith, star of Major League II and An Officer and a Gentleman, reminds us that voting is more than a right—it’s our duty. Tennessee, we see you, and now is the time to take action. #TennesseeWeSeeYou
