It is going to continue becoming increasingly important for you to understand and internalize that nice is different than good.

No art today (not that anyone is keeping track). Body says no & I'm in no position to argue. Sucks bc I was starting to feel a bit more myself with the last couple, & yesterday's especially.
Ah well. Today's task is finding grace for myself just as I am, I guess.

🙋♀️ Hi, excuse me, how do you think democracy "returns" from within a system that you have already acknowledged as incapable of allowing that?
The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

We’re entering a new era of childhood mortality & disability, & almost no one will care bc they’ll just get used to “the new normal” within a few years. They’ll ignore the harm.
How do I know? Because that’s exactly how it went w/COVID, which is the 2nd largest threat to childhood health rn.

The downside to making a delicious banana sesame cake for one is that you can't go grab a second slice when it's so good that you want a second slice 🙃

Indeed, and people might be surprised by what "need" looks like
I'm not hard-of-hearing, but I am autistic AF with ADHD and I need captions to help me understand what folks are saying, and to keep me focused on what I'm watching.
