Trying to figure out if the MCAS flare you're in is because of emotional stuff or physical stuff is a bit of a mind fuck

Great Blue Heron on my walk this afternoon. #TinyJoys #PlumeScrolling

A Great Blue Heron stands at water’s edge, staring into the distance. It is a very large bird that is mostly grey from this angle, with black edging its wings and a black and white head. It has a very large bill and yellow eyes. In this photo its chest feathers are wet.

Also what has been bugging me is: what therapist, when their client shows up and says they are being abusive in their relationship DOESN'T try to talk to their spouse? Idk, I might be reaching here but you'd think you'd want the effect side of the story as well as accountability

My contribution to Halloween was candy and Pringles in a container on the steps of the front porch. I have no idea if the early people left anything for the late people but hopefully they were nice enough to do that. Covid shot is really starting to kick my ass, not looking forward to tomorrow.

Had the COVID vax today, but thanks to the UCP, had to travel 40 min one way for it. There were people coming in when I was there who wanted the vax but had to be told the soonest possible is Dec. Absolute bullshit.

I've been reading about how my brain is addicted to my ex wife and I didn't want to believe it but after not hearing from her for 2.5 days,said brain was unable to focus, then she texted &things came back online. Fuck. I don't want to talk to her (have to to sort the separation), fucking trauma bond

It feels like age is divided into two segments: the one where you feel comfy taking a selfie from below your chin and the one where you don't

General strike. Now.

Mickey Amery...

Calling the use of the Notwithstanding clause a "moral imperative"...

That's a hell of a way to define a legacy and not at all foreboding rhetoric.

Another egregious use of the notwithstanding clause. The right wing populist governments in this country are a scourge.

It's a wild time. It's not the first time we've separated, but it's the first time I was not looking for a way back. I'd been mentally and emotionally pulling away for a while due to the treatment, &honestly just fully done with being treated like that. I was open and honest about it the whole time.

Thank you, me too. I'm realizing that I have never put myself first in all of my life, and that's what has to change in order for my life to change. Not first as in I don't care about anyone else, but first as in I matter.

I've made it a month. It's been a whole month since I left my abusive spouse. How I feel now is a 180 from how I felt then and honestly, most of the time in between.

I won't go back. I'm safe, I'm finding my footing, I'm going to be ok. There are loads of challenges still, but I can do it.

Smith on "Your Province, Your Premier" is talking about getting an agreement in place and THEN granularly dealing with classroom complexity.

That's unacceptable. We need working conditions to be part of our contract.

Went to a queer board games night last night and it was really nice. The people were kind and welcoming and I felt at home really quickly. The space itself was great, reminded me of spaces I've hung out in the the past. I think I did a good thing.

Thanks! My biggest clue was opening the dryer and it smelled of smoke 😑The smoke battle continues lol

chaws eternally exhausted @saltntights.bsky.social · 11d

The woodsmoke issue has greatly improved, but about once a week so far someone burns something horrible and noxious and I found out it was coming in the dryer vent. So I did a thing. Proud of myself.

The side of my house with an older aluminum dryer vent on the concrete and tan stucco. A long and tangled bright green hose is on the ground along with the new packaged steel dryer vent cap and a yellow and black DeWalt bag with tools sticking out of it. The ground is mostly dry grass.

The old dryer vent cap has been taken off revealing rigid ducting with yellow expandable foam all around. My white toe in a sandal is visible in the foreground. The wall is part concrete and tan stucco above.

The back of the new white steel dryer vent cap is in place. The ducting is visible.

The new white steel dryer vent cap is installed. It is screwed in and caulked with clear caulking.

While thinking about the No Kings protests, I realized something. Trump isn't acting like a king. He's acting like a CEO. This isn't a monarchy, this is late stage capitalism. America is being treated as a business acquisition. He's stripping it for parts before dumping it like a fucking Toys R Us.

Thanks for asking 🩵. I'm not sure. I'm pretty isolated and struggling with making healthy connections. I know I need community, it's just been really hard to figure that out while being sick, drowning in grief and figuring out how to make it through financially.
