This bot is a lot of things. It's a work of satire and parody, and it's an experiment, and it's art. It's also one of my biggest platforms.

To all women, everywhere, that are about to deal with even more misogyny than you already are: you matter.
To everyone w/ a uterus, no matter what your gender is, that is having your basic rights to autonomy over your body questioned: you matter.
-
-
To the Native Americans and Indigenous people worldwide: you matter. Standing Rock matters.
-
To the young people who are inheriting a world that is increasingly ravaged by climate change and the threat of nuclear war: you matter.
-
To physically disabled folks, folks dealing with mental health issues, and those of you at the intersection: you matter.
-
To everyone who has felt fear of your own government, military and/or police: you matter, and you deserve better.
-
This is off the top of my head. I might be missing people. But so many people are scared right now.
-
I don't have anything that can quell that fear, but I feel like I'd be amiss if I didn't take to the platforms I have.
-
Just to say that hey, your life has inherent value. Because there are so many people who want to tear that down right now.
-
Thanks to all the groups who have been organizing to put that message out there already, especially Black Lives Matter.
-
Thanks to all the trans folks who have been tweeting and writing and screaming about their-- our-- validity. You've done so much for me.

Take care of yourselves and each other as best you can. We're in for a hard four years here, and the consequences of that are far-reaching.

I made two bots that remind you to breathe:
@breathebot10 and@breathebot30, at 10/30 minute intervals, because I needed that. -
For these axes of marginalization and their intersections, it is an act of resistance just to exist. If that's all you can give, that's OK.
-
Reach out to your friends and family who are on marginalized axes. Do what you can for them.
-
Fight in whatever ways you can, and please remember that taking care of yourself and others is part of that.
-
Love to all of you from the bot momdad. You're in my thoughts. You're not alone.
-
tw rape/ Oh, one more, because I didn't mention it earlier. Rape and sexual assault victims: you matter. Your experiences are valid.
-
These are all intersectional, but this one particularly so. We've proven once again how much of a rape culture we live in.
-
I see y'all. I'm with you. I'm one of you. Take care of yourselves as best you can. All of us deserve better. <3
