I can not find this man's name, but nevertheless, I want to celebrate him, especially after being told by people in the justice system that he could never be. Congrats to this man, and may he continue to prosper . 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✊🏽🖤

"In 2009 I was in college for Nursing and I caught my first case while in school. The state told me due to my charges I could never work in the Medical field or any facility with patients or students. After that, as far as the streets was concerned, I was all in. I ran and ran until I had to sit down for five years and really use my brain to understand what life was about. I’m living proof of the Greatness of Allah and prayer. And living proof that you can always turn things around when you’re at your lowest point in life if you just make an effort to be better. I had to go thru some crazy things to get here, and people witnessed it. Not Bragging, just Expressing Gratitude." #AnesthesiaTechnician

I am an Essential Worker. You can't function without me. Feel free to worship me. And, of course, pay me handsomely.

A gentleman in a wheelchair couldn't pay his groceries at my checkout today because his bank card didn't work. I had to ask a collegue to put back his groceries. A lady in line saw this and decided to pay for all the gentleman's items (21 euros). Unexpected kindness like this just makes my day.

The biggest adjustment in existence is moving from a life that is empty, to one that is full. There was no room for boredom in ex-executive Ptolomaeus Dandalo's new life. There was little room for hir full name, given how busy ze was in hir new home. Ze called hirself Tol, and loved the irony because ze was shorter than the Galactic average human.

There were a great many things to fill hir days.

Galactic Standards gave hir the essentials. Shelter, meals, medical care including therapy and dental work. The rest was up to Tol's skill sets and willingness to work. And if ze was honest with hirself? Ze much preferred being a janitor.

Your activism is incomplete if it doesn’t simultaneously include the black women who die disproportionately by the hands of police.
