I know things are bad again cuz I have insomnia and stomach aches :( being back in California is wild rn

still looking for help for my brother who is trying to get his foot in the door with cybersecurity :) he just graduated with his bachelors in computer science. let me know if you have any leads!

Heehee my brother and nurse bonding over chat gpt and im here like 😅😅😅

None of my new friends know what my voice sounds like and I think that’s so funny. When I can eek out a word they’re like 🤯 ohhhh

my friend who was shot w the rubber bullet is doing ok!

My newest friend (and one of my caregivers) co-founded this org called Affirming OC that serves trans and gender diverse folks via clothing distribution 😍 please boost the hell out of this, they deserve it! linktr.ee/affirmingoc www.instagram.com/affirmingoc/...

My lovely very kind friend is hosting a workshop on data ethics next week. Sharing here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I cried for twenty minutes today, new record

Whenever I ask someone who is coming in my apartment to mask I get so nervous because people in Vegas are SO mean about it but I haven’t had one mean remark yet in California 😭 it’s wild how different it is here. I don’t think ppl realize how bad it is in other places

A caregiving company I interviewed yesterday asked me if I had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and if I ever heard of the physics girl. Isn’t it amazing how much awareness one person can raise about an illness? Very grateful for Dianna sharing her story.

sitting on my patio, got into my wheelchair and outside myself because the unit is flat and accessible enough for my wheelchair to fit. i am happy 🥹

Me staring at the doctor staring at me cuz there’s no chat function on their app lmao like welp guess we’re gonna be staring at eachother cuz you don’t wanna follow ADA like? lol

You guysssss lmao I have a pet peeve & it’s random gifts. I’m very much minimalist. I hate random gifts, so when I say don’t buy or give me anything I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Why did my mom “gift me some of her belongings” including a very nice and antique wooden first supper portrait

And there we have it. Found out one of the homies got shot point blank with a rubber bullet. Smfh. I’m seething.

I pray that they burn in hell for all of eternity. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjpTTWMW/

i literally cant imagine a world without my gunkles and my queer friends like?? literally all of the fun would seep out of the world?

the way that the trans and long covid community has actively saved my LIFE this month by offering caregiving for me, my God. HAPPY PRIDE!!!!!!!!

One doesn’t have to actually ban vaccines to make them functionally and constructively unavailable, inaccessible, and nonexistent.

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

"don't escalate" except the government is losing the organization game, they don't know what the fuck they're doing, they're just sending people without clear orders or even places to sleep, when you see bumbling overreaction by your enemy you aren't losing

They won’t let us in to the public arraignment of David Huerta. This is what authoritarianism looks like

Ok when someone says they’re free after three do you schedule for right at three? Or a little later. I never know 😭😭

Gaza waters are not Israeli waters and this was an illegal act of piracy, and Rima Hassan and Greta Thunberg have been kidnapped
