Not gonna lie, Megapom in February is tempting to attend. But I'd need to make a trip of it since I'm not going to the UK for a con and then not also go see Wales and Scotland, too.
Then there's that whole money debacle.

I spend too much time lamenting over not being places with people, about how much better my life was pre-pandemic (it was OK), and wanting to spend more time with people.
But in the end, I'm just passively observing. Life isn't fair, and is never going to be fair. (1/2)

Sometimes the bridge wasn't set on fire.
Sometimes the bridge is actually a shitty rope ladder that's been frayed and having to cross it makes you anxious every fucking time because no one is helping you cross it to get to the other side.

I’m devastated- this was my favorite glass 😭 if anyone helps me find the artist and get a new one, I’ll find you a dubiously sourced kidney.

A good friend reminded me of this:
Being intentionally not invited somewhere with others is a form of banning.
But also? If things like trust and friendship and support can be taken away by someone, it was never worth keeping with them anyway.
Believe people by their actions, not their words.

Once the whole "did they forget to respond because of ADHD, or do they actually dislike me" gets confirmed on the latter end of things, it makes staving off brain weasels a much harder game to play.
Even though they asked for clear communication despite every fear you have about it.

You know, I never experienced agoraphobia until I lived on my own.
An interpersonal friendship situation (which arguably is my own doing) compacted with all-of-the-policital fear and injustice has my heart racing every single time I need to leave my apartment to do anything.

Hey California, call your state legislators and tell them you want Newsom's budget rolled up and shoved up his ass
If passed, Newsom's budget plan will:
Strip Medi-Cal from every 65+ or disabled person with more than $2000 in assets.
Remove dental and long-term coverage from undocumented Californians.
Impose higher premiums specifically on undocumented people.

As good as I am at in-between or nuanced thinking (trying to dispel "black and white thinking" due to racist undertones), I am often caught up with extremes when it comes to friends and interpersonal relationships.

Nothing like a random dude completely ruining my mood after a day of LARP by throwing a cup of ice at my car while pumping gas and then yelling at me to make fun of my kit, and embarrassing me in front of a handful of people.
Did I cry? Yes. Am I mad at myself about it? Also yes.

Ever feel like you've miffed everyone you were relying on, and then you're like "nah, it's in my head" but then it ISN'T?
So anyway, I can only imagine that my stressful move and neglect was the cause, otherwise I don't know what I did.

I was told I had to wait until 35 or had spousal permission. I switched to an IUD that gave me the worst pain of my life and had to have it removed. Until I got Covid and had to stop taking the hormonal BC, then I was able to get it done April 20th, 2021. I began inquiring March of 2017.
I started asking about tubal ligation when I was in my early to mid thirties.
I got asked by almost every doctor if I had my ex husband's permission. It took me years to finally get one.
My OBGYN only asked what I wanted once I finally got that far.

“If you’re that worried just tie your tubes” is not the simple solution people are making it out to be.
It’s shockingly difficult to access a tubal ligation when you’re in your prime childbearing years. Especially if you’re single.
Doctors want your husband’s permission.🧵

I'm not sure about Newsom running in 2028 but I do absolutely believe Trump is trying to undermine the support for a governor that stood up to him in his first term.
ya i mean if you take trump seriously, but what's actually happening is that he wants to fuck the entire state of california up in order to destroy newsom's chances in 2028. there won't be any disaster aid for us even if CA capitulates to his absurd conditions
Seems there is an obvious win-win compromise between Trump and Newsom for dealing with the Trump fires. Newsom can find some big pipe somewhere in Northern California.
