hellohellohello! The #GivingTuesday thread is here! No shortage of causes to care about. Pick something that won’t leave you alone; then, volunteer, donate $, and/or advocate to your elected official. Here are some orgs that my family donates to:
Independent journalism is the backbone of any social movement & change. @cpipr does that & more for 🇵🇷.
The @cpipr investigation led to uncovering over 4k died as result of #HurricaneMaria; brought corrupt chats to public from the [now former!] Governor, ignited massive peaceful public protests until he resigned; every day they produce unbiased reporting.
you can donate to @cpipr here and every $5 is matched 3X today:newsmatch.org/organizations/…
Angelica: Number TWO:
Local theater that tells our stories is important. @repertorionyc has been performing & promoting theater in Spanish in #NYC for 51 years. I interned there in college, sweeping the stage…and they were one of the first to host a reading for #InTheHeights...
Support their #open #LATINX #Playwrite competition: Silvia Gonzalez’ Boxcar/Vagon is a previous winner, telling the story of migrants trying to cross the border. Their work is so consistently great. repertorio.nyc/voces-latinx
Angelica voice: NUMBER THREE:
Disasters happen every day, & @WCKitchen continues to roll up and sustain folks as they recover. They are STILL in #PuertoRico and #Bahamas after devastating hurricanes...
The @WCKitchen provides warm, dignified, &nutritious meals to families at the southern border supporting immigrant families and in Colombia for Venezuelan refugees, among many other places. #ChefsForThePeople donate.wck.org/give/236738/#!…
Number FOUR: there are still children separated from families at OUR border. I’m grateful to @RAICESTEXAS for reunifying families due to #Trump migration policies, accompanying and defending individuals facing deportation, and supporting resettlement. raicestexas.org/donate/
If you don't have money, consider donating time, or what you have. Do what you can. It feels good.
Happy #GivingTuesday2019!

At the school Halloween parade.
The other kids are waving to their parents.
Simba Miranda, FIRMLY in character, is licking himself and pretending to maul the children beside him. 🦁
@VAMNit
A text from @VAMNit: He stayed in character for a long time. He was licking his paw and roaring at his classmates for the whole parade. And when the teacher asked the kids to raise their hands for something, Sebastian corrected her: "for me, you mean claw.” 🦁

6:30am
Sebastian: Daddy, sit down. I have to tell you something.
Me: What is it?
Seb: I'm a Tyrannosaurus egg.
(he wraps himself in a blanket and slowly hatches. This takes 10 minutes.)
Me: You gotta eat breakfast, time for school.
(I serve him a waffle)
Sebastian: My arms are too short to reach this.
(He puts his face on the plate and eats the waffle without using his arms)
Seb: This is a MEAT waffle, I'm a carnivore.
He stays in character all the way til the bus stop. He is nothing if not absurdly committed to the bit. He is my son. The end.

This #GivingTuesday we’re hosting an #AntiPhonathon! We hate making phone calls, and we know many other autistic people do too, so we won’t be calling you to ask for money. Instead, we’re asking asking you to help us spread the word.
#GivingTuesday is happening December 3rd this year! #GivingTuesday is a chance to donate to causes you care about, in the spirit of the holiday season.
Last year, our amazing community raised $8,000 on #GivingTuesday. This helped ASAN meet our goals throughout 2019, including the release of our new proxy calling system. autisticadvocacy.org/2019/11/asans-…

1/ #ME: Feeling a way about the incuriosity/obvious bias in the press. Thought I'd annotate an article with my thoughts/analysis.
2/ #CPS: The CTU won’t agree to the money until it gets the other items on what Jackson calls its “social justice bargaining” agenda.

#ME How do Black and Brown children get anything w/o a justice oriented agenda? Or, a demand? Better question: Why don’t they already have it?
3/ #CPS: That includes everything from affordable housing , a dramatic increase in “community schools”, enforceable caps on class size, mandatory hiring of support personnel written into the contract and more teacher prep time with potential to shorten the school day.

LEAVE ATIKU ALONE, GO AND BEG NIGERIANS

All these people, including several high-powered delegations, "begging" Atiku Abubakar to accept this brazen subversion of the wishes of Nigerians seem not to understand that the issue has gone beyond @atiku.

#Thread
As it stands now, @atiku is a mere representation of the collective aspiration of the people for a #BetterNigeria.
These people/delegations should channel their "beggings" to the appropriate quarters. They should go and beg the millions of Nigerians @MBuhari screwed up. The dozens that were tragically killed in the mad quest to retain power.

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"

Here is Jon, her voted leave but now has seen the lies of the #leave campaign become clear & is a #RemainerNow
Respect @jonnywoo34 -so many feel like you! Thanks for speaking out & keep doing so!
Let’s hope MPs have courage to put country before party & start opposing #brexit
Here is #remainernow Jon again with a great post (and mini thread) on his #bregret and how #leavers should look at those still advocating #brexit and ask if they share their values!
Top work @jonnywoo34 keep speaking out, your courage will encourage overs!
I urge people to read this great thread from #remainernow Jon (for more see ⬆️). In it he explains his reasons for voting leave & what he has realised since.
Thanks for taking the time to do this @jonnywoo34 hopefully it can encourage others!
