After a week of being horizontal and only being able to consume applesauce, I got to leave my house and celebrate a microwave with my people. It was worth every second of warmth. #rfkjrpoisonedme #salmonella #eggswillkillyoubutweregreatagainright by @emjcooper

Still enjoying the tranquility of southern France, but wanted to share this photo from a few months back. I’m sharing this photo because Juan Sebastian Guerrero should still be here.
He was in a car with his 3-year-old daughter, who watched her father die while wearing her Bluey pajamas.
Because ICE kills.
Because families are being torn apart. Because people are being taken from their homes, workplaces, and communities. Because we’ve all asked ourselves what we would do if people started being disappeared, detained in camps, or treated as less than human, and that question isn’t hypothetical anymore.
Immigrants are not “others.” They are our neighbors, our coworkers, our friends, our families. They bring their labor, their love, their languages, their traditions, their art, their food, their brilliance, and their dreams. They don’t just contribute to this country, they help create it.
If you’re white, silence is a choice. It is vital that we speak up, speak out, and refuse to look away.
For Keith Porter Jr. For Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. For Alex Pretti. For Renee Nicole Good. For everyone being held in detention centers. For everyone living in fear or in hiding because our government has decided that having brown skin or being an immigrant makes them suspect.
Immigrants make America. They make it stronger, richer, more compassionate, and more beautiful.
They belong here.
They are America. by @emjcooper

Tonight we celebrated @mlrawling, and it was the very best night.

My friend of 35 years. My emergency contact. My sister from a very similar mister.

I met Meredith so long ago that I can’t even remember when it happened. What I do know is that I can’t remember life without her. She has been my best friend, my biggest cheerleader, and one of the most grounding forces in my life.

We built cardboard box forts, rode our bikes for miles, slid down stairs in sleeping bags, cruised around in convertibles, and somehow grew into adults together. Through every exciting milestone, every important life moment, and more than a few embarrassing ones, she has always been there.

Tonight, people traveled from near and far to celebrate the incredible person she is, and it was such a joy to be part of it.

Happy Birthday, Mere. I’m so grateful that we met in kindergarten, and I’ve been looking up to you ever since. ❤️ by @emjcooper
