Hi! I’m Deedre. Socially awkward, definitely ADHD. Lover of glitter, talking too loudly indoors, and smashing the patriarchy with my weird fashion choices. I’m a writer and a reader, an over thinker, a fierce advocate for human rights. Do you want to be friends? I feel like maybe we could be friends

They won’t stop with this shit unless we stand up and refuse to accept it as normal. This. Is. Not. Normal. This is fascism in plain sight.

Fighting crime with a spork of truth and spatula of justice 1997-2001. May he rest in peace 🐓
I just launched a Facebook group for fashion rebels, glitter weirdos, and loud hearts.
We’re starting from zero and aiming for 100 by July 1.
If we hit it, there’s a surprise in it for y’all 👀

I feel like I need one of those red buttons that I can press and it just says “What the actual fuck?” because I’m getting really tired of having to repeat myself all the time.
This isn’t just nail art—it’s protest in polish.💅 The Color Street Foundation is donating $2K to The Trevor Project for LGBTQ+ youth. Wear “Heart of Pride” & raise hell in rainbow. Joy is resistance. 🌈

Owning a body is way more complicated than the warranty implied.
I’m raising money for a comprehensive blood test
which helps me get closer to answers, and hopefully, solutions.
Help me keep this semi-functional human semi-functional for a lot longer.

Can anyone recommend some good accounts to follow for dopamine fashion, handmade jewelry, upcycling etc? A lot of the creators I follow on other platforms aren’t on BlueSky and it’s a damn shame.
I have discovered StoryGraph, so now every time someone shares a novel that sounds awesome, I just add it to my list and I never have to worry about forgetting the title! Definitely added this one on cover art alone 😊
The “Religious Liberty Commission” isn’t protecting freedom — it’s weaponizing faith to bulldoze civil rights. This is a direct attack on church/state separation. Contact your reps: demand they dismantle it. Freedom belongs to everyone, not just the bullies.

Jesus rose from the grave, not to bless the billionaires, but to remind us to tear down injustice, lift up the broken, and love radically. Easter isn’t for empire—it’s for liberation.

Pigeons can actually recognize themselves in mirrors with extensive training — something very few animals can do. Somewhere out there is a pigeon questioning its entire existence.
Feeling helpless? Pick 1 cause today (abortion access, voting rights, trans youth) and donate $5, sign a petition , or repost resources. Every small ripple matters.

Happy birthday! Glad it was awesome. Also, love your necklace 😊
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it’s fantastic 🥳
With everything going on in the world, I always come back and check your page when you don’t show up in my feed for a while. I hope you are staying safe and holding onto your sparkle during dark times. The world needs more people like you.
They said a woman’s body couldn’t handle the English Channel. Gertrude Ederle said hold my goggles and swam it faster than any man ever had. In 1926. While half the world clutched their pearls. Be loud. Be strong. Be the reason they choke on their doubt.

A MORAL CRISIS

“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.

If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”

Take 3 minutes. This is important.
Throwing it back to my 36th birthday party because this outfit makes my little #fashionrebel heart happy. You do you, and if anyone says, you can’t wear that - grab a fist full of emergency pocket glitter, launch it into the air with flourish and say, “Bitch please, I’m a walking art exhibit.”
It’s #affirmation time. Take a deep breath and belt it with your whole chest my little chaos gremlins:
Bite sized #selfcare tip with love and a sprinkle of feral spice ❤️
A proverbial fist full of glitter,
a willfully defiant heart -
I breathe life into the silences,
stoke tiny embers in the dark.
Fight on…
a poem about hope.
