Reminder to those of us fighting fascism right now.

We can't all be front line soldiers. We won't succeed. We need medics to support us and help us rest and heal. We need historians and researchers and bards to help us understand and to help us share the information. We need entertainers. (+)
On this final night of Hanukkah, remember to continue shining bright. Remember to continue holding hope. Remember to never hide. The best way we hold the memory of those we've lost is to not give up and to keep going.

Did anyone notice that if you Google Hanukkah on your phone, a Hanukkiah pops up. If you click on it, an animation shows up and you can click and drag the shamash to light the candles.

Didn't post the picture last night cause I was overwhelmed with my basement flooding. But I'm back tonight. Happy seventh night of Hanukkah everyone.

My hot water heater just died and is dumping an inch of water all over my basement floor. I shut it off. So eventually the water will stop dumping onto my floor tonight. But the repair places aren't open to call right now. I'll be lucky if they're open this weekend.

Fuck me.

Hanukkah continues for more than one night. And so we must also continue to hold hope for more than just one moment.

I just learned that in Muppets Christmas Carol, the Muppets have better detailed and more historically accurate costumes than the humans. And that is true for the entire 60 year span of time that the story covers.

And this makes me unreasonably happy.

The candles of the Hanukkiah are lit by the shamash, or helper candle. Be a shamash and bring light and hope to those around you in these dark times.

On the third night of Hanukkah, remember to look for all the little miracles of the divine in the world around us. Don't forget that we sometimes see those miracles in other people, such as the beauty and divinity of our queer siblings.

It's the second night of #Hanukkah. It's a rough and dark time in the world. So we light the candles to hold hope and bring that hope into the world around us. One of our biggest miracles is continuing to bring hope into our world. Enjoy your night <3

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

I know we are hurting. But we cannot hide. We must stand tall and proud of who we are. We hold their memories as blessings. And we light the candles anyway. They want us to hide but we stand proud. Find as much joy as you can this first night of #Hanukkah

Took a bit of phone tag but the doctor agreed that I shouldn't have those side effects and definitely not severe ones. Got a new inhaler to try.

I'm hopeful it'll go well, especially cause it's the same inhaler my mom uses and we react very similarly to things like meds.

Was given a new medication when diagnosed with asthma, a daily inhaler to help minimize how often I struggle to breath. Awesome.

This may be the first time I call a doctor and say the side effects are not something I can handle. This has been a very very rough few days to get through.

Just left the pulmonologist and I might cry. She listened. She understood. And here's the kicker that just made my day.

"I'm scheduling these tests to better understand what your lungs are doing. They may come back normal. That does not mean nothing is wrong. It means that symptom (+)

My niece, my sister in law, and I went to see Wicked: For Good tonight. And I...

I'm highly impressed by my Urban Decay eyeshadow and mascara holding up to how hard and how long I cried through the movie.

I absolutely loved it and have thoughts but I'll share them much later.

I just stood up to my ass hole of an aunt.

The hardest part of being sick is remembering that I don't need permission to rest. I didn't need to do as much as I can first. I'm allowed to just rest.

When you don't feel well, make matzo ball soup.
November 23, 2025 at 11:09 PM
Both my roommate and I are sick with a lung infection. Both of us are low spoons and struggling and want comfort.

I'm using my limited spoons to make matzo ball soup.

I'm probably spending my entire weekend curled up in bed. I'm absolutely sick with something. I have post nasal drip, this awful chest cough, and absolutely no voice at all.
November 22, 2025 at 11:31 AM
Took my roommate to the ER. I'm already exhausted and we just got here.

To be clear, I'm okay. I believe that she will be okay. But it sucks either way.

The summary of my school year right now is I don't know how to convince kids to care.

Here is one of my favorite moments between my partner and I...

I regularly send them selfies. I choose to do this because they usually respond in such a positive way and it helps me believe I'm pretty.

Every so often I dress in an outfit I like. They respond with losing words over how I look. (+)

I can't wait till my ex husband can't hurt me anymore.

No he didn't do anything specific that I know of.

He just loved KPop. So I'm trying to watch KPop Demon Hunters and I'm pretty instantly tensing up and already feeling so so so anxious.
