so after years of being overmedicated with prescriptions and also self-medicating with weed, i'm checking into a sober living home tomorrow for at least the next month. it's the support i need right now.

i won't be writing while i undertake this. i need to focus on my health.
going through some shit because you really fucked up is humbling as hell but having someone who’s there for you even when that happens is a remarkable thing
annnnnnnnnd the place i’m at right now is getting shut down

real bummer that working with fascists isn’t one of those lines!
U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin is not giving up on working across the aisle, but she has also drawn some lines in the sand — including voting for any increases to funding for federal law enforcement, specifically ICE, without significant reforms to their behavior.

tighten up the back end of the press and hope vandy doesn’t hit any more of those “clutch” prayer threes

the missed shooting foul on sofilkanich was genuinely one of the worst non-calls i’ve seen in my life
the usual quality of refs assigned to women's basketball appears to be in effect for Michigan/Vandy
