Thinking today about how, when I was in high school, I used to talk a lot about how a life goal of mine was to grow old with smile-shaped wrinkles

Gahd I was so fucking naive

WHY IS IT SO DAMNED HARD TO FIND A REMOTE JOB?!?

Oh my gahd what I wouldn’t give for a cooling vest 😩 I’d have to use the expensive kind though if I bothered at all because I’d just melt the ice packs instantly every time with the other ones.

So here’s the thing.

Rest is good. It’s vital, whether you’re chronically ill or not.

But when you’re chronically ill, it’s really goddamned annoying. Like oh, thank you, body, guess I’ll just lie here and think about all the shit I was supposed to do but can’t because you threw a shit fit.

Like, sure, I wish they weren't poly-phobic too, but that's still an issue in queer communities and I'm just... I dunno, more prepared for that

An astonishing number of transnational adoptees are also being set up for failure by abusive parents who never finalize their citizenship. It's incredibly easy for a citizen to abuse undocumented or under-documented family members

Kayla B @queenofthesouth.bsky.social · Jun 17

A lot of women cannot prove their citizenship status… abusive men are going to take advantage of that.

Talk to anybody who has been through family court

The battle of getting important documents from your abuser is NOTORIOUS. It’s so common DV hotlines tell you to grab that type of stuff LAST right before you run b/c men keep tabs on that to control your movements.

Now imagine being an immigrant
