I just wrote a two page (front and back) letter to my crush. Will I have the courage to actually deliver the letter? Stay tuned!

I don't think #BattlestarGalactica needs a #reboot but I think #Caprica does.

My #depression doesn't manifest with a loss of appetite. My #anxiety however does.

It's currently 33° (and dropping) here in central TX. We even have a small (20%) chance of snow overnight. On Monday, we are forecast to have a high of 80° that day. It has been like this, up and down, all freaking February. I hate it 😭

Share a character who didn't deserve their fate.

Dear Elon Musk, Please stop fucking around so the IRS workers can do their job and process my tax refund. Also, please don't steal my tax refund. These things don't usually need to be said, but you're an immoral billionaire and a coward who steals from working class folks like myself. Thanks!

Movies you've watched more than six times

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Me.

I might be aroace, but it's a spectrum and goddamn it would be nice to have a cuddle buddy.

I've always been a solitary person and kept to myself, but I'm feeling desperately lonely and alone right now. Reach out to your loved ones who you haven't spoken to recently. They may need it.

But he doesn't know who I am. And he doesn't give a damn about me.

This person I'm interested in is a Methodist (I think). Which, whatever, I try not to judge religious folks unless they're the dangerous kind. So I'm thinking I should just say, "you want to pray about, I want to read my tarot cards about it. We're the same 🤷" and see how that goes 😅

DOGE in a nutshell

I would love to see Elon Musk try to survive on the $800 a month salary I make as a full-time cafeteria worker in a public school. Btw don't tell me to "find a better job" bc the work I do is valuable and important and should come with higher pay.

There is someone I'm interested in. They might even be interested in me. They tried talking to me a few times and a mutual acquaintance asked if I had ever talked to them. I either freeze up, put my foot in my mouth, or otherwise miss my opportunity. How do I just, like, talk to this person? 😭

Knowing when you need help, asking for help, and accepting that help are abilities that not everyone has and those that are able to do these things should not be denigrated or belittled by those who don't have the ability.

Elon and Trump, a coward and a snake

Black history is being erased in real time. As our leaders seek to minimize the contributions of Black people, HillmanTok creators say their open enrollment is an invitation to learn about Black history and other valuable subjects in the community. Read more here ⤵️

Everything is awful, and I just want someone to hug me in a non-platonic way 😭

My cousin was taken out in the middle of nowhere Canada in the freezing cold and abandoned by the RCMP, several miles away from where she was living and she almost died. If she died, she would've been another one who "died of hypothermia" and would've been labeled as just another drunk Native.

I had to take one of those exploitative payday loans bc I have no other option and need a few groceries before payday. The money shows as available in my bank account but the store says my card is declined. I'm trying not to have an autistic meltdown and my AuDHD kid won't stop talking about PvZ 😭

I'm watching Babylon 5 right now and it all feels so timely. The Centauri occupation of the Narn feels like a parallel to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The Earth government coup is reflective of our current coup in the US. The Babylon 5 crew being radicalized into freedom fighters is us...

I sometimes wonder if any of my TikTok friends/mutuals who are still on the app (who I don't have a connection with on other platforms or IRL) have noticed my absence. Did I leave any lasting impact on them? I know it is a privilege for me to be able to just delete the app. I just wonder sometimes.

I finally watched the Wicked film last night & in addition to it being an incredible adaptation of the musical, it is exactly the kind of art & storytelling we need right now. It's not an accident that a hyper relevant film about rising fascism is coming from an AAPI director with a Black lead.

Dear liberals, leftists, and Democratic leaders: Proving that you are morally and intellectually superior to fascists, does nothing to protect anyone from fascism. Writing snarky posts or giving speeches means nothing if you are not willing to risk your personal comfort to protect vulnerable people.

I work in the cafeteria of a public school. It is a demanding and difficult job. It is also an extremely low paying job. I rely on gov assistance. Instead of telling me to "elevate myself" and find a "better" job, consider fighting for me to get better pay for the valuable and important work I do.

This app is so bad for my mental health. I firmly believe that text based platforms inherently make it easier for people to dehumanize others. It happens to me every time I interact with others here.
