I might just have enough to make some blackberry jam this year. 🄲

As a disabled 42yo who has the worst of my symptoms right when I wake up… … I’m jealous af about my 8yo’s raging ADHD and the fact he needs something to s l o w him down every single day.

This week I'm learning about association areas in the brain, they not only take in sensory stimuli, but also process it. I'm left wondering what changes in an autistic brain, where the sensory processing is happening in different areas than what is expected.

Learned helplessness: the absence of any attempt to help oneself, resulting from previously learning that the situation is outside of one’s control. Conditioned Response: the response to a conditioned stimulus acquired through learning. Americans have been conditioned to believe they're helpless.

Ppl who use the pharmacy drive thru to have 20 min conversations about their Rx or do shit like update their insurance info. Fucking infuriating.

Medical care is kinda funny sometimes, like, I’m paying money to exchange bodily fluids for drugs.

I started the fertilizer tea on Sunday and it was ready to use this morning. It also rained all day, so I didn’t have to pre-water OR post-water to apply it to my garden beds. Felt like premonition coming into reality.🄲

My 8yo read a MAGA coded video title and had some context questions about it. He says ā€œevery word is important.ā€ I asked who told him that and he says ā€œyou didā€. 🄹🄹😭🄰

(studying for Psych 111) instructor's video: "Freud believed in cocaine so much that he started using it himself."

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

Does Wells Fargo know their bank is helping ppl steal loan disbursements from unsuspecting college students? Cool, right? Mine was stolen 2 days ago. Gonna be at least a week before it’s sorted out.

Adding Eastern Bluebird to my list today. Up to 27 species spotted from my house. šŸ˜™

School is out for the summer and I have turned off no fewer than 7 alarms. Next year I don’t have to be up at 6am to get a kid on the bus. They’re changing the high school start time to 9am instead of 7:05! 🄹

This week in the Springtime Reveal:

The part I like most about taking exams for university courses is the instructor saying ā€œthe tests are open book/note, but the time limit means you better know the material.ā€

Every time I scroll social media, the only potentially positive thing I get out of it is a sense of future job security. I’m training to be a therapy/research psychologist for ppl who survived trauma.

It’s expensive to have an ā€œunalteredā€ pet.

We got back from the hospital and found goslings!! The babies from 4 years ago are parents now.🄰

3 words: Rainbow Cat Footprints. A little bumper sticker that tells an entire life story.

I just very narrowly avoided eating the one thing I'm allergic to. Still freaked tf out.

My 15yo needs IV antibiotics over an ear infection, and it’s moments like this where I truly appreciate the infrastructure, safety, and willingness of trained professionals that are available to us. MILLIONS of other children and parents don’t have that and I can only imagine how scary that is.

Sitting in the doctor’s office waiting room, at one point my kid started reading the title of the YouTube video I was watching on headphones… ā€œFamily of Four loses their shed full of trash over a $700 nonpaymentā€ like SHHHHHHH! I don’t need strangers judging me. I do that enough thanks.

90% of the pediatric nurses at our doctor’s office have full sleeve arm tattoos and it’s just so comforting to see.

Reasons for maternal mortality, in order of prevalence: Homicide and Suicide. Pregnancy Complications. Birth Complications. Post-Birth Complications. Naturally, the only solution is enslave pregnant ppl to ensure a potential-future birth for population records, then full abandonment by the state.

If I keep my grades up like this, I'll bring my GPA from a 0.0 (I dropped out) to almost 3.0. "Quality Points" gonna save me.

Someone living nearby has a wifi enabled electronic device and never programmed it and now I have to tap to dismiss it from my list of devices to be activated every time I open the app. Immabout to program it and let whoever it is figure it out the hard way.

The mock orange tree I planted 2 years ago is about to have its first flowers. 🄰 Also, I had to explain the concept of ā€œmock orange treeā€ to my 2nd grader on the way to the bus stop.

Dear White Women, Are you ready to FULL-ON Karen ICE agents in your community? DEMAND to see the manager? DEMAND to see the warrant? Ask them if they know WHO they’re talking to? FILM it all? No. Really. Are you ready to do this? Our job is to spend our privilege - EVERYWHERE it is useful.
