It’s not often I get all my writing and research done before my mom wakes up. Usually I’m interrupted right in the middle of something important, but today everything’s done and now I don’t know what to do with this free time. 😂

Landback isn't a gift anyone will give, it's a duty we must assume, a task we must continue until done.

This is super-important, so have a little alt text:

People with pre-existing conditions are not expendable. The vulnerable are not expendable. The elderly are not expendable. Children are not expendable. The disabled are not expendable. If we planned around protecting the most vulnerable in society, we would all be better off.

It’s important to understand that when a white person says “this has never happened before” or compares some oppressive behavior to a foreign regime, but it *did* happen here to Black/brown people for years/decades/centuries, it represents a massive blow to solidarity. It’s selfish.

First migraine of the year and it is one of the worst I have ever had. I am pretty sure I was only awake 5 hours yesterday, basically a couple hours at a time. I think today will be more of the same, unfortunately. 😖

Our landlord texted my mom last night to let us know he is raising the rent $90 again this year. She had a breakdown last year about what’s going to happen to us if he raised the rent again. I just don’t see how we survive the next few years. I’m the one breaking apart now.

If you’re opposed to fascism, please make sure you’re working on internalized ableism. The link between fascism, eugenics and ableism is well documented. Fight for disability rights. Make resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask & stay home when sick. Don’t leave us behind.

I am really struggling to focus after almost two weeks of excruciating hand/wrist/elbow pain, the frustration of not being able to write or do anything really and now the desire to make up for lost time, something I know I can’t do but want to anyway.

Really disgusted to see people I followed and mutuals (blocked now) joke about Denmark trading Greenland for California, perfectly fine with continued colonization for laughs. Just gross. 🤮

I AM A MINT CHIP ICE CREAM DEFENDER UNTIL I DIEEEEEE IT DOES NO WRONG AND I LOVE ITT

Feeling overwhelmed? Wear a mask.😷 Feeling sick? Wear a mask. 😷 Not feeling sick? Wear a mask. 😷

Last year was so terrible I stopped journaling. I still miss it sometimes, but I just don’t know if it’s worth it to try to build the habit again. I am locked in a cycle of indecision. 😩

love this summary of how educators can defend students; from @mskellymhayes.bsky.social organizingmythoughts.org/sanctuary-le...

Started playing Fallen London again after seeing others post about it the past couple days. It’s been seven years and I forgot how fun it is and how much I loved playing it! No idea what’s going on with my character or where I left off, but slowly making sense of it. 😂

Does anyone have suggestions to help me convince my mom to eat more protein? We are both vegetarians and she is a picky eater. Due to poverty circumstances, we both only have 1-2 meals a day. She thinks half and half + a handful of nuts is somehow enough. She’s in her 70s now and I’m really worried.

I do not want to live out of spite for those that hate me. I want to live and *thrive*. I deserve more than an angry, sad life of just trying to get by. I deserve a life full of joy, safety, and excitement. & so do all of us who find our very existence threatened under the current hegemony.

It’s always “redistribute your wealth” never “here is the help you need when you have no wealth to speak of and are actively starving or going without medication or almost homeless/actually homeless…”

Now is as vital a time as any to remind you to please wear a mask.

I'm trans and I'm not going to stop being trans.

Between my computer refusing to turn on or stay on and now the oven not working + everything else, there is just too much stress in my life right now. I really need a break.

I had big plans to roast veggies since it’s almost below zero outside, but it’s so cold in the apartment the oven won’t preheat properly. Never had this happen before, not even the years when we lived in a slumlord’s building.

The targeting of ASL is not ignorant. It's a test of whether the mainstream will shift a generally "acceptable" category of disabled person into the "disposable"/abject field, an outbranching of the renewed use of r-word + the long apprenticeship to disposability of vulnerable ppl that covid is

🔊 PSA for nondisabled people 🔊 It's time to step the FUCK up if you wanna be an ally. ASL interpretation is being targeted by right wing cry baby douchebags. Shut this shit down when you see it. SPEAK UP. This barrage of ASL hate is heavier than usual.

Finally started writing something I have been intimidated to work on for the past thirteen months. A little seed from a dream I had in November 2023. I have no idea why this one’s been so intimidating to dig into, but I’m glad I’m working on something again. I still have so many decisions to make!

I have not been invested in this story since the flare began. It breaks my heart because I was so excited to work on it at the end of last month and now there’s nothing. No love at all. I keep trying to recapture the magic from last month, but I just can’t. 😭

Day 9 of this flare. It may be subsiding now, but the pain’s been so bad I can’t even remember what life was like two weeks ago. 😣

please please please wear a mask. we need solidarity now more than ever. mask bans are only going to pick up speed after this week. please help normalize wearing personal protective equipment. please. we will not survive mask bans. fight the spread of disease and the surveillance state in one move ✊

I am in so much pain right now it should honestly be illegal.

Only got four hours of sleep today. It is so cold in the apartment I just shivered in bed for a couple hours before I was finally warm enough to fall asleep. I am crashing so hard now after only five hours of being awake. It is so hard getting my sleep schedule back on track.
