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. 🤎

I know I'm a day late to this, and generally I try to love everyone. But there's a big difference between loving your fellow person and liking them.

So I say this with all the love in my heart, galapagos to hell you turtle-lookin-ass jerko.

I want smaller newspapers with actual fact-based reporting made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding.

One of the most prestigious papers in the world is gone so billionaires can knock out the last pillar of public trust in order to control our governments and hook you on influencers peddling their products for the rest of our lives

The only way you're going to find a better alternative from Adobe is to use, support, and stick with a worse alternative until it gets better.

I can personally attest this works. Yes it's painful, frustrating, and time consuming. But the payoff is incredibly rewarding.

The only way out is through.

Hmm.

Question to all my peoples.

What songs do you consider truly perfect? The sort of songs that you listen to it and the idea of someone else doing it, or messing with it, just seems like heresy? The sort of song that is almost a shoo in for a top 50 all timers at least?

My first: Billie Jean.

Installed a sexy buizel mod because I hate the angler and
As much as I hate to admit it
I now understand why people use nsfw mods in games

Maybe it's the fact I enjoy being open and shameless with sexual things
But having horny stuff around casually like just another normal thing
Is oddly nice

Kink friends! Engaging in some safe sane play can be really grounding, as you likely already know!

I wanna take a min & say out loud: it’s awesome & totally healthy if your consensual play is regulating for you

If you’re feeling guilty/shame I can write it on a prescription pad for you if it helps
Things you can try if you're disassociating:

intense sensory experiences (cold shower, hot sauce, sour candy, brisk run, dancing, cooking w/ strong smells, aromatherapy, heavy weight/pressure, etc.)

repetitive bilateral gross motor tasks (swimming, rock climbing, rowing, elliptical, biking, etc.)
If you’re spiraling hard into panic or disassociating, having a flashback, and/or really losing it

Try gripping ice in your hands as hard and long as you can until it melts a bit, over a sink or a towel

It helps ground us in a mental health crisis

Just thought I’d share. No reason. 😅

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

ICE is getting ready to come for Haitians next week. Help the families JD Vance smeared with his ugly racist lies. This is an organization in Springfield connected to the Haitian community there. They need our help.

In 2020 Nippon Ichi Software released Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society in Japan with explicitly Genderless and Intersex options for party members, and a explicitly transgender story character that is treated as their identified gender.

2020. What use is there acknowledging chuds in 2026?

& I think about the current ICE detention situation

I am so so so SO sad

I know what it looks like when the state IS watching and SOME rules ARE enforced

It must be so terrifying
it must be SO dangerous
it must be so infectious
it must be SO deadly

Yknow, I've always loved characters in fantasy that use staves: Mat, Kilik, Seung Mi-na, Kaladin, Wayne (okay he uses dueling canes, but still).

I think one of the most frustrating things for many neurodivergent people is that we cannot understand why people don’t give a fuck about things that could make the world a better and kinder place - that’s what happens when your emotional circuitry doesn’t work “effectively”

It went great! I made my anti-ICE statement and begged people to call @shaheen.senate.gov and @hassan.senate.gov's offices to demand they defund DHS by NOT voting in support tomorrow, and changing their behavior where they've previously been happy to surrender us to fascism
LAST MINUTE: I will be part of a panel discussion on Monday, 1/26, at 11am EST on zoom

We will be discussing "What is autism?" not as a lecture, but as a multi-faceted conversation discussing diagnosis, culture, personal experiences & more

wanna see me talk to folks about stuff &/or ask questions?
