Fucking anxiety insomnia.

"Hey I'm worried about things so I'll wake myself up in the middle of the night and prevent myself from falling asleep again, I see this is a great solution somehow."

Why do our brains spend so much time trying to kill us?

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm

Tear gas is an abortifacient.

When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby.

The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since.

Horror movie stuff.
