Happy Mother’s Day for those who celebrate today (self included, not all moms are cis women). If this day is special for you, I hope you’re celebrated. If this day is hard for you, I hope you’re given gentleness and care, including from yourself. 💛

Wow. Cis men are really out here avoiding direct communication about their passive aggressive behavior today. Humans are exhausting.

Rough medical appt this morning, came home to find our elderly hedgehog Iroh died. He was slowing down a lot this morning and I’d planned to come home and have some time with him out on the deck, but he was already gone. This day can go fling itself off a high cliff. Rest gently, little friend.

Birthday streamies tomorrow! There will be party favors in chat while I play some South of Midnight and then Fortnite. Scored a used Xbox Series X and cannot believe how much better Fortnite runs! twitch.tv/mxfirebee

I never used to believe in "guilty pleasures" until I realized how many people still financially support Harry Potter shit. You should feel so guilty that it eats you alive and keeps you from sleeping

Day 1 of #countingtheomer complete. I’m keeping it simple this year, reading and sharing with some friends on Signal, letting myself take a year off from needing to create new art every day for 7 weeks. buttondown.com/yaakov.akiva...

Chag Pesach Sameach, y’all. Mine will be minimal and quiet this year. Omer count begins tomorrow night, which is my favorite part of this time of year. I made a journal last year that’s still available (and there’s a digital version you can have in time): yaakovakiva.com

passover starts at sundown, and for those who are unfamiliar, it’s a holiday that centers around surviving under the weight of oppression. we reflect on our survival of genocide, our struggles as refugees, and our takeaway is supposed to be that we have a duty to stand with the oppressed, always.

One of the worst kind of medical appts is the one that leaves me with non-speaking levels of frustration/anxiety and creates the new labor of finding another provider and scheduling a second opinion. Feeling defeated and unheard today.

As a Municipal Liaison of more than 20 years for Nanowrimo, the reasons for their collapse are WAY worse than embracing AI and most MLs can confirm. The org fumbled some really big things, some involving minors, and most of us (MLs) quit or were punitively demoted before the 2024 season.

Parsha notes of years past for Parshat Vayakhel. My favorite line in this parsha is Exodus 35:26, which speaks of hearts spun up in wisdom. In a world that feels lacking in wisdom, may this Shabbat spin us toward a wisdom that can lead us to collective liberation. #shabbat #parshastudy #torahstudy

If you're going to use other nations/cultures as a comparison, at least make sure you're using something real - not a made up story from a parody website. The story about North Korea has been thoroughly debunked. Journalistic integrity and all that. This is the US doing a horrible US thing.

This comic book cover apparently warranted @nickwrightdata.ntw.app putting me on a NSW block list. Here’s a donut for the eagerly puritanical cop in your head, man. 🍩 Keep policing these digital streets.

Successful Cathflo treatment today after my Hickman line started to act up last week. My double prong outlet is back in tip top shape just in time for monthly labs. Side effect: I can now see through walls and lift cars. Finally, my superhero arc!

It’s #LongCovidAwareness Day. We’re all aware. Some of us firsthand, some of us witnessing it in our loved ones and in our communities, some of us having lost loved ones to LC, and some of us pretending it could never happen to us and that Covid is long over. Every day we get to choose. #disability
