Gotta be real a queer read of char adds so much to UC. Repressing identity and chronic avoidance of the things that terrify you will eventually fuck up your life -- including your ambitions for spacenoid independence AND your chances with the autistic boy you've obsessed over for more than a decade

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks”
whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to”
don’t give them cover on it

Apparently, Tennessee has a new domestic abuse registry, and cis men are freaking the fuck out. As a person who has front row seats to my mother's domestic abuse? Let me tell you? This needs to be a thing in all 50 states.

Momo's ultrasound for his heart, lungs, and kidneys looked great! We will get the blood values later today and tomorrow, so let's keep hoping that his kidneys and white blood cell counts continue to improve. I appreciate all your help so far, Momo is so close to being all recovered. Anything helps!😺
