Okay, so if this makes me lose access to my meds, I'm going to become a hot fucking mess again and WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

Reading "Children of Ruin" by @aptshadow.bsky.social, and this line is just nestling down in my brain and making itself at home: "He hangs in the water column between the angel and the ammonite." It's a delightful visual. 🥰

😂😆😟😫😭

every day. I even hiss when I get new emails.

Idly knitting a hat for my MiL because she has cancer and chemo is making her lose her hair, but also contemplating the downfall of the US and the Horrors that persist. Once again, I hate this timeline.

🤣😆😭

The vibe in science rn 🧪

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I really hate it here.

highly recommend wandering pinterest instead of doomscrolling when you need a break. got some decent ideas for projects, and general happy images rather than a constant stream of anxiety.

I luff him. 🥹

The more I read, the more I research immigrating to the EU… …which isn’t going to happen for a number of reasons that are practical and stuff, but a girl can dream. 😮‍💨

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

The Confederacy wasn’t about heritage, it was a rebellion against the United States, built on slavery and treason. It’s time we stop romanticizing it and start recognizing it as what it was: enemies of America who fought to uphold human oppression.

Who wants these kids of mine, ‘cause I’m about to sell them on Etsy. 😖

Pretty sure most of the new “followers” I have are bots. I know maybe 4 people personally on this app… I mean if the bots want to hear my dumb rants about random crap I don’t want to post where my in-laws will see it, I guess that’s fine.

straight, cis, half-white female, and still. All of this.

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

Son possibly has a staph infection, and daughter possibly started her period. Fun morning. 🙃

I woke up at 6am, was at son's school by 7:20am, and was on my feet herding kids until 2:30pm (with a brief break to run home because my dogs escaped the backyard), ran home to drop off son, jumped back into the car to get gas and then get daughter, got home at 3:45pm. 1/2

@teapotrabbit.bsky.social 😬

😂

Hanging out at the library, as daughter has to meet with a study partner for a school project. Once again, I’m in love with this place. A building holding centuries of knowledge and musings that anyone can access for free. Glorious.

I bench pressed a barbell today. First time ever. This weight lifting thing is working. 🥹

Old age is getting home from a nice dinner and going straight to bed. At 8pm. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My kids woke themselves up at 5:30am, made coffee, and then ran across the street to the park to play with their friends until the younger ones had to go to school. Who are these children???
