To @kyrstensinema,

You may or may not be familiar with me, but if you aren't it wouldn't surprise me. I am one of your constituents.

I am one of the countless Arizonans who worked tirelessly so you could be where you are, drinking sangria, telling all of us to fuck off.

1/? I knocked on doors in the Arizona weather.

I text banked. I called Independents. I donated.

I signal boosted other large twitter accounts in exchange for them signal boosting your account... not mine.

I must've posted the link to your website hundreds of times.

Anybody else in PHX getting a "blue alert warning" on their phone? It's something to do with the police Image

When you wash your dreads you have to ring them out in the shower and violently shake them or it takes all day for them to dry

Thing is I got this spider camped out above my tub, not sure what kind it is or if it's a boy or girl so I simply refer to it as "the spider"

1/? So everyday I go in & wash my hair. And everyday the spider takes incredible offense when I shake my dreads dry because, from what I'm guessing, the spider feels like it's a full on attack

The spider does this dance, back & forth, back & forth in an attempt to intimidate me

We've all seen the guy at a Home Depot hoping to make a wage

He has no tattoos, only has work boots, he's never joined a gang

He asks a man if he can help but when he tries

The man says no, he gets on his phone and he calls ICE God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his boots
Cuz then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

Then you really might know what its like
Then you really might know what its like
Then you really might know what its like

In need of a feel good story? Something to inspire you after a long week?

How about (Az state Rep) @JenLongdon shaving her head to raise $5K for for her district's 5 most strapped schools?

#LD24 #RedForEd 1/8

There's a whole lot going on is this story

While the mission to raise $5K remains the primary initiative, @JenLongdon is also hoping to bring awareness to other issues such as teacher salaries & the quality of drinking water in Phx public schools

Let's start with salaries

Like countless others, I've battled with depression and anxiety this past couple few years

I used to be a happy hippie

There's been times where I wanted to throw the towel in

Times where I've felt alone, powerless & hopeless

But I hide it by making jokes and staying busy

For me, it isn't Trump

A snake is going to be a snake

For me it's the people, and the elected officials who have not only condoned Trump's bigotry and behavior

They've supported and even protected it

These are the actions that I will simply never understand
