I shouldn’t even have to say this but I will never stop shouting it, especially for those who can’t .

FUCK ICE!
FUCK ICE!
FUCK ICE!

“Death. That was its name. That’s what she dealt with and she knew it, dreaded it, hated death’s intimacy and the strange greed with which it pursued every living thing.”

“That’s when I came to know that to be left, sent off, abandoned, was not of the moment, but a black ditch to the side of the road of your life, a sudden washout, a pothole that went down to China.”

I wish I was surprised at what’s happening in our country today but I’m absolutely not.

Enraged? Yes
Desperately sad? Yes
Surprised? Not even a little bit

He’s a war criminal, rapist, still hiding (in) the files, and should be in prison or worse.

Why are we not doing anything?

Merry Christmas, loves!

I hope you’re all finding a way to celebrate the end of this ridiculous year and find some contentment in the small things. May you be with your favorite people, enjoy good food, and know how absolutely loved you are 💜

Why continue sleeping when you can wake up convinced there’s something else wrong with you and spend the rest of the night googling signs and symptoms of hypothetical said disease.

Hey brain, please shut up? I’m really tired of finding new things to be anxious about/obsess over.

Does anyone else find that the longer you’re stuck inside for whatever reason the harder it is to get out of the house, especially when you don’t have anywhere in particular to be, no money, and all your friends are far away or working like normal people?

Just me? Greatttttt

Please let this be THE day.

I desperately need a break and for the timeline to shift and I know just the perfect gift.

Just in case you still don’t get it, a reminder.

It’s the guns. It’s the fucking guns. It’s always been the guns and it will always be the guns. Why aren’t more people outraged? When do babies get to stop dying where they should be the safest?

My heart hurts for so many reasons, friends 💜

We’ve been waiting years for the Epstein list to be released but it’ll never be released because they’re all on it. Yes, even them.

Why are we waiting for those who did the most harm to tell us what we already know?

“And I wonder if Beethoven held his breath
the first time his fingers touched the keys
the same way a soldier holds his breath
the first time his finger clicks the trigger.
We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.”

Me, lamenting about the general state of things: “Why do they hate us so much?”

Him: “Because we’re f*gs and cripples. They want us dead but we’re not going to let them. We’re not going to let them.”

In maybe related news, call your elected officials and keep calling them.

Yall, this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done but I need your help to make sure I have safe, stable, accessible housing for the next year (at least)! Details are in the link!

I must have done something very, very bad in a previous life to be stuck inside this body in this lifetime.

Feeling defeated and weak and fearful but there's a lesson in this somewhere, right?

I know it happens every June and that it’s expected and temporary and I’m probably in the minority with my hatred of it but this cold spell hurts and I’d like it to end now please.

That’s all #notturningtheheatbackon #Ibelonginthedesert

Reminder: the things you’re punishing yourself for (not) wanting or (not) doing because you think that you’re not good enough or worthy enough or maybe you think you’re too selfish or too much, or it’s too hard, whatever it is, it’s okay.

For my upcoming birthday (June 7), I’m asking for donations to my PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo. I’ve chosen this nonprofit because their mission means a lot to me (😂😂😂) and I hope you’ll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me.

I ordered groceries for delivery through Walmart today like I do regularly as a disabled person and at least half my items are missing. Yay?

I called Walmart and they’re issuing a refund for the missing items but I’d like this sort of admittedly minor inconvenience to please stop now 🙄

Happy Pride Month, friends!

Just a reminder that I see you and I love you. Please be careful out there and don’t forget to drink water, eat something if you can, and take your meds 💜

In November 2020 I received a letter from Nelnet saying my student loans were being discharged due to total and permanent disability. It was a huge weight off my shoulders and something I haven’t given much thought to since.

If you’ve ever wondered what you’d do in both World War II Germany and a genocide, wonder no more. It’s exactly what you’re doing right now.
