1] The past 30 days have been really personally empowering. I attended a protest. I visited my brother after almost 10 years. I went to a play. Explored a new coffee shop. Have cleaned enough of my apartment to NOT feel mortified. And become more focused on my YT channel. I finally believe I can

I'm not a student anymore, but the threats of expulsion, jail, and deportation over protests on college campuses makes me physically ill.

Happy to still have a job. At least until the US government decides that the elderly and disabled are "wasteful spending" and closes all of our nursing homes.

It has come to my attention that in order to make new friends you have to talk to people you don’t already know so like THAT’S a big ole bucket of no thank you and

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

There is something magnificent about drafting a pièce de résistance in a hyper kawaii note app. I'm posting this so that if any repercussions come as a result of sending this correspondence, people will know exactly what I said.

I remember as a kid how cool the idea of writing to the president was. Now I wonder what kind of repercussions I'll face for telling him how much of an incompetent dick he is.

Wanting an international committed relationship is part "wanting an escape route out of the US" and part "at least they won't ask me to meet them right away."

As a healthcare worker, I'll say this: Working in healthcare is not good for your health -- physical or emotional. At least in the USA.

Medication and therapy haven't cured my depression or emotional regulation. But they helped me know when I needed a break today. They helped me allow myself the opportunity to scream in my car instead of hold in the anxiety and stress to the point of unleashing on somebody else. They helped me

I'm about to get a call from my medication manager for our regular discussion on how my meds are working and how I'm feeling overall. I get to tell her that I went to my car on my break today so I could turn up my radio volume and scream into the void.

My feelings are so easily hurt, and maybe that's why I feel more motivated by the "rude" horoscope on the Rude Karma app.

I'm not a consistent person. I attribute my struggles both to lack of structure as a child and inherent personality traits. But I've made lists for the past two days and completed at least half of each. Work has left me exhausted and physically in pain, so I've tried to be gentle with myself.

Have you ever spite-read a book? I've done it a couple of times. Once, it even resulted in me enjoying the subsequent stories following it in the omnibus. At the very least, though, there's satisfaction in being able to finish a book you absolutely hated. 😂😈

I've had a bookstore owner in Minneapolis superlike me twice on Tinder. Never met them, but I don't think the connection would meet my needs. I'm appalled to find out I won't ho myself for literature.

On a less intense note: I love working with multi-lingual people. A patient taught me how to say "Hurry up!" in Swahili and told me [jokingly] to say it to our nurse. I had her remind me how to say it when he was nearby because I'd forgotten. He busted up laughing. I have a recording of her

Reading The Book Thief and the imagery of painting over pages ripped from Mein Kampf to write something inspiring and powerful and uniting is a scene that will exist eternally exalted within my soul.

As I see January 6th insurrectionists pardoned, an attempt to strip American-born citizens of their birthrights, and DEI programs stripped away, I feel so much anger. Anger at the ignorance and audacity of our leader. Anger at the people who voted for him. Anger at the people who support these

Libraries are wonderful for people. However, I am not wonderful for libraries. stares at books that I never returned 15 years ago.

Reading is political. Reading has always been political. Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground. #booksky
