Not in the mood for another ‘today’, but what are you gonna do?

submitted 16 hours ago • 0 comments

I need to get stuff done today, and the outlook is not good. It seems so useless to try to be kind to oneself when the world is so expressly unkind to folks for whom productivity is not always possible. But I have to remember that if I'm not kind to me, there's no guarantee anyone else will be.❤️‍🩹

Welp. I guess I'm going to be downloading and converting all the digital books I've bought over the last 20 years for the rest of the afternoon and evening...

A panda express is opening up two blocks from my house, which means that my lower self is about to win a lot of battles 🫣

Keeping a boiling pot of water on the stove really does help keep the chill out of the air in my drafty place.

Resistance at the individual level in the US (which is what most people are doing) has been reduced to: 1 - "[Fuck no,] I won't do that." [and] 2 - "[Fuck no,] I won't buy that." That is our common sphere of influence. It is not entirely ineffective, but it is also not nearly enough.

Doing more unfollowing / re-following from the alt (puppy hood pfp). Sorry for the trouble. I hope you'll join me over there, but if not, I don't blame anyone for unfollowing someone who seems to have disconnected.

You can punish them individually as it suits you. But this is a collective action, so let’s act collectively.

Sometimes I think my mental health is improving, and then the rest of the time I realize that, no; even really sick people have an occasional good day.

Today's single card draw: Ace/Swords (r) Aces are abstract. When upright, I read this card as "a new (as-yet-unformed) thought/mental model." When reversed, I read a newness (still abstract) incompatible with current mode. Doesn't mean it's not true, but will probably resist simple communication.

Post your most daddy pic. (I honestly am a bad judge ITO myself, but hopefully this is close to the assignment.)

Celebration post. My place should be called "Grey Gardens" because I've let it fall apart. BUT yesterday, I got lots of good upkeep work done, with more to come. Aaaand I got this niche, which has been in the box for 2+ years, hung on the wall. Crucifix = placeholder. What should live here instead?

I have felt no spiritual protection while in public to he even remotely as strong as the act of blasting Mother Cain’s “Perverts” in my earbuds to the exclusion of most other sensory data.

Just a minor panic attack this morning because I have counseling today. I've been trying to get this for a while, and now that I have it, and have to verbalize all that I need help with, it's panic-inducing.

I’m ngl, I have a bit of a problem with the concept of “bearing witness”. Like, okay, you’re bearing witness to what is happening. Are you helping? Are you archiving? Are you building? What are you DOING with what you have seen?

“The Stonewall riots happened because trans people, particularly of color, rose up against state violence … You can’t tell the story without us.” They are erasing our history and the stories of our elders. Church, we need you to stand with us. ⚓️ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...
