They are always going to people who tell you that you are doing "too much". Who will want to minimize you as much as they can so you can be palatable to them?
And I'm here to tell you? Leave those people alone. Block them and keep it moving. You deserve to be around people who accept you.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies.
She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas.
Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia.
I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

“I regret having to sleep out there so bad. I tell them, ‘I’m sorry, but I tried.’”
These kids deserved our protection. This mother deserves our protection. We are collectively failing one another.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?
