Digital illustration of a woman holding her right hand up and holding a crown in her left hand, staring at it intently. She is covered in blood, especially her hands and the crown. The text: "NO KINGS", also covered in blood.

I appreciate it! I was mostly referring to the fact that I’m always nauseous though 🥲 I’ve given up on medication at this point lol

Musk is another grifter that I’m not putting on the same level as Trump, but I’ve been ranting enough for today lol

Ikariosa💠 @ikariosa.bsky.social · 1d

Dismantling the department of education is a calculated move to keep people continuously scared of big words, this is their master plan to stay in power for decades to come

And also, Trump is just a charismatic figurehead, the people around him are the real deal making it all come to fruition

If Trump was well spoken and highly intelligent, MAGA would not exist

He would scare people away with his vernacular and he’d probably not even be a republican

The Republican Party is just full of grifters taking advantage of a population that’s scared of big words and immigrants

Bush got votes because he was someone people imagined they could have a beer with; the masses didn’t feel threatened by his vocabulary, they understood him

Policy comes secondary in that regard (if at all, given that these people will vote against their interests just cuz the guy seemed cool)

Cults are extremely effective and there is no denying that a certain degree of cleverness has to be involved in order to create these kinds of things, but I think the biggest issue is that we have an education crisis

I don’t think Trump is overly clever, I think he is just above average

antidepressant discontinuation syndrome is fucking awful; somehow managed to avoid it until this very last med my provider pulled out from between the couch pillows

finally being prescribed zofran to deal with the intense nausea 💀 it’s been a month straight of no relief

I just want to be normal 🥲

I don’t know what’s happening but I hope it goes well, crossing my fingers for you

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I am sick so I’m assuming it’s just that, I’ve not been sick with a cold while I’ve had this watch so it was just concerning to see high numbers

Ikariosa💠 @ikariosa.bsky.social · 12d

You’re welcome, you absolutely do matter! Hope you have a great rest of your week 💜

I certainly have learned a lot from you and will continue to do so - it’s always a pleasure reading your posts!

Ikariosa💠 @ikariosa.bsky.social · 13d

You deserve to be here as much as everyone else does, and that includes the things you say and want to say! And bottling everything up is really difficult and makes the time we have remaining on this earth more miserable than it needs to be. And no one learns if everyone is quiet.

Ikariosa💠 @ikariosa.bsky.social · 13d

I will admit I was worried I had crossed a line and deserved a block (I would rather be told off, but understand that people have their boundaries and it’s valid to just block and be done with it). I don’t have your experiences and I don’t ever want to come off as pretentious, but I just… related.

Ikariosa💠 @ikariosa.bsky.social · 13d

I don’t do this very often and I’m sorry if I come off as preachy, I just think you’re neat and I enjoy following your journey. If all you can do in a day is speak your mind, then you should do so. Don’t hold it in. Apologize if you feel the need to later. You are still you in your darkest hour.
