If you’re asking this kind of question about any mobility aid, chances are that mobility aid you’re contemplating would wildly improve your quality of life! Allow yourself to use it! I started using a can at 20 because that’s when I needed one

The air today is very smoky from wildfires so I wore a mask at pick up and multiple people were like oh that’s smart but no one else was interested in a mask! Sure!

I’m not saying I’m depressed but I am watching multiple Guy Fieri shows at once so

“a calf, until I am a cloth” !!!!

this date on #thebachelor is straight out of Forever 21 Great Recession oh my god

My kid is on day 4 of being too sick to do anything at all, with brief windows of just enough energy to be bored. An awful limbo, I can't wait until he's old enough for video games

Reminder!! If you personally may need plan B, stocking up is great. If you’re stocking up for hypothetical distribution, PLEASE consider giving that $$ to your local abortion find! Or matching however much you spend. 1/

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Khaled. Before the war he was studying computer science. Him and all of his siblings (including his sister Abeer who runs their family GFM) had their studies interrupted. He also lost his laptop so he hasn’t been able to remotely complete them

I’m so sick of people calling the president a felon as a dunk. You’re closer to becoming houseless than you are a billionaire and you’re closer to becoming a felon than a president, I promise you that.

There is a kind of liberal who is more furious about their instagram following Donald Trump than anything else and like. Haven’t you noticed there are other pressing issues?

continually thinking “this is happening faster than I thought it would” & i thought it would happen fast honestly

Everyone has escalating needs right now so if you can help, pick a family from here & please push their campaign! Mutuals can contact me and I’ll send you the current short goals and what they’re for linktr.ee/divyamp

I try to operate from a place of compassion but I will be honest seeing folks say “I usually don’t do politics but this crosses a line” is hard to watch, don’t you understand your refusal to speak out until now helped us arrive here??

I can't put my finger on it but calling him Voldemort/Cheeto Man or whatever else feels increasingly tiresome. Anyone else feel this?

For as much as I love writing I am an awful publisher, which is to say a savvier version of myself would've known to save this piece for this week. Anyway, here's one way I'm avoiding despair and a reflection on transitioning as a radical act. emrhysma.substack.com/p/no-one-i-u...

My hot take is that if dry January is a serious challenge for you, you probably do have a drinking problem, not drinking for a month should be pretty easy actually!

Outside of being a great writer, Em did the formatting for our “Hades Calculus” cover! Please consider donating something!

I recently found a book I wrote five years ago and have been rereading it and throughout this reading experience I never actually remembered what happened next

My child is home with a stomach bug & so far we are on track with being sick once a month every month of the school year & every time it makes me wonder how parents ever get anything done

Friends, I have a project for you. This is verified. My sister @shantini.bsky.social & I are working to help Bakr, a 🇵🇸 child evacuee, get life-saving surgery for brain cancer. He needs $4000 by 12/8 to book the surgery. We are matching the next $500! I believe we can do it! tiny.cc/HelpBakr

I swear I’m shado/wbanned. People with less following get dozens of likes on posts. Even when I’m not sharing a campaign I get 0-2. Can you see this?

Why am i continually seeing weight loss content on here and what buttons do I need to click to change my algorithm?

My missing of smoking has continued for the last few weeks despite the fact that I haven’t smoked regularly for over a decade!! I’ll be honest, I’m asking less of myself right now for a few reasons and this is one of them

I’m going to absolutely lose my mind

Today I went to a public restroom and felt *emotional* when I realized it was a single person stall and no one could be mad at me. This ramp up in bathroom debates is taking such a toll on my mental health & I am by far not the most marginalized!!

okay, we're starting with this Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already! Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting) Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

0/10 matches Who will go first? It has been SIX days. Another SIX days without seeing her kids.

On trans day of remembrance I’m asked If I have names of Trans Palestinians to add To Trans day of rememberance I struggle with an answer Knowing that the names I Know will never be uttered Fading even from my own memory #transdayofremembrance #tdor

I don't think the bathroom bans are "distractions." Sorry I really disagree with that framing. They are EXCLUSIONARY and INTENDED TO OPPRESS. Not distractions at all.
