"The slogan 'refuse, reduce, reuse, repair and recycle' provides us with a hierarchy of strategies for dealing with waste. Refuse means to decide not to engage in the consuming action or task in the first place because it is not necessary. Reduce means to minimize the materials and energy required or the frequency of the consuming action. Reuse means either reuse for the same purpose or put to the next best use. Repair means to use skill and very limited additional resources to restore function. Recycle means to break down into more basic elements or materials before being reprocessed for the same or other uses."

Today marks three years since Breonna Taylor was senselessly murdered in her home by Louisville police. As we honor her and continue to fight for her and SAY HER NAME, I implore the residents of Kentucky to please vote accordingly in this year's election. Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who refused to pursue charges of murder against the officers responsible for Breonna's death and misled a grand jury, is RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR. HE CANNOT WIN! THIS CANNOT HAPPEN! I am begging every eligible resident of Kentucky on this site to please vote, get your family and friends and communities to vote, REGISTER to vote if you haven't already. This man does not need to hold power any longer.

Can’t please everybody.

“Guilt is not a response to anger; it is a response to one’s own actions or lack of action. If it leads to change then it can be useful, since it becomes no longer guilt but the beginning of knowledge. Yet all too often, guilt is just another name for impotence, for defensiveness destructive of communication; it becomes a device to protect ignorance and the continuation of things the way they are, the ultimate protection for changelessness.”

– Audre Lorde, The Uses of Anger (1981)

His name was Sam Nordquist. A 24 year old transgender man who was brutally tortured from months before that torture killed him.

At this point they are not calling it a hate crime as it is still under investigation but we cannot let this heinous murder be swept aside by other news. We owe it to him to make sure what happened to him is not forgotten and that those whose hands are covered in his blood, those responsible for the horrors he faced before death, are held accountable and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

It is a damn shame that New York does not have the death penalty. Though that would be too kind. These sick bastards deserve to go through exactly what they put him through. An eye for an eye.

Please do not let this be forgotten. Sam Nordquist. His name was Sam Nordquist. He was 24.
