I am working on setting up a blog, but I had a hell of a childhood, and need to start writing it down somewhere. I don't super know that this qualifies as a crashout, but Bluesky it is. (Re)skeets going forward won't just be doom and gloom and trauma, but I welcome comments. Hi. 🤎

They meant: “I’m done thinking about it.”

This late night post brought to you by what came close to another night if insomnia-assisted psychosis, this autistic bi guy, and the letter FUCK.

Thank you for coming to my TESSTalk.
Look at our current administration and aside from the slew of likely personality disorders, can you really tell me that all of them are 'neurotypical'?

Because fairly certain they're not. They just had the fucking luck and privilege that their neurotype doesnt severely impact their lifestyles.
All this is to say, The Princess and the Pea wasn't *picky*. She couldnt sleep on a pea-ass mattress because she was fuckin autistic(coded), and the prince that 'won' her figured out her support needs.

Autistic folk have always existed, new neurotypes dont just manifest.
I also recently fell asleep with a heat pad on my shoulders, and that apparently got rid of decades of tension and muscle armor--I can suddenly physically feel things again that I havent felt in 10+ years.

Soft of relatedly, I also have big issues sleeping if there is a tiny wrinkle in the sheets.
It has been an absolutely hellacious week. After being in and out of thr hospital three nights in a row in a delirium, unable to sleep, I have run thr gamut trying to figure out WHY. SOMETHING caused a psychotic break.

I am pretty sure it was not having total darkness/quiet due to lack of mask.
Taking a necessary social media detox for the week, with the exception of 1 hour during the day at lunch. Just got out of the hospital, possibly have a severe mold problem in the house, and my abusers' deaths *just* hit me apparently.

In the meantime, stay safe folks, and please enjoy this Beep.
Oh boy, I've been taken back to my high school bedroom where my father knew I was making a music video for school, so enlisted my help in creating a video of news clips from 9/11 set to Proud to be An American.

First I've said as much, but thank you for the work you do.
I cannot physically attend a craft fair today, but stand (sit) in solidarity with those who are and can at least reskeet when I can.

I'm even gonna build one of my birthday lego sets and post it later, because they are the thieves of joy and hope--they can't fuckin have it.

I’m not really a live-skeeter. But I had to stop my frog dance to tell you that there is a deafening amount of honking coming from big ol lifted trucks here in my tiny town.

I've mentally summed it up as 'I wish we had a Bright Noa to slap some bitches'. :\
If it helps...you're still sharing, but you've gotta secure your own oxygen mask first if you want to be able to continue to provide what you can.

Mister Rogers said to always look for the helpers, and from where I'm sitting, you're helping. <3

PDX doing it right.

We’re off to get some rest before No Kings tomorrow. Sleep well, y’all!
The war zone in Portland is out of control.
Sharing my partner's sentiment for other xennials who are likewise trudging along on this healing journey through parental trauma:

They may have given you life, but they're not why you're alive. That's all you, and the people that have actually supported you. I'm proud of you. <3

if you're trans you have to stay alive. i do make the rules
A+++++, would add swiss miss again. Dosage is inconsistent/unknown cuz the butter was infused with accumulated vaped bud, so unknown *how* much space is in the butter, but it tasted amazing.

....I'll be able to see time, Amuro!
SUCCESS. I added a packet of swiss miss too. For fanciness.
How dare u I just made a new batch of space butter and you have given me *ideas* (cuz I think we could all use some space butter rn)
(I also admit I did the attention span thing of only noticing the beginning and end of a Bluesky thread and responding immediately so I legit apologize if all of this came off as 'uhm ackshually'-ish)
Holy fucking jalabraino thought train, Batman.

- Authoritarian parenting bad
- Caused many many problems generationally
- Remember that stretching and water are so much more important than even the most adamant of hydrohomies preach
- Treat yo self and be nice to my friend
All this to say, make sure you're stretching and regular massages / some PT may help. Fat absolutely can be sexy so if that's the body you're comfortable in, and your numbers are fine, then somethin else is up. I see u and u deserve to be happy.
