Hi! I’m Deedre. Socially awkward, definitely ADHD. Lover of glitter, talking too loudly indoors, and smashing the patriarchy with my weird fashion choices. I’m a writer and a reader, an over thinker, a fierce advocate for human rights. Do you want to be friends? I feel like maybe we could be friends

They won’t stop with this shit unless we stand up and refuse to accept it as normal. This. Is. Not. Normal. This is fascism in plain sight.

Owning a body is way more complicated than the warranty implied.
I’m raising money for a comprehensive blood test
which helps me get closer to answers, and hopefully, solutions.
Help me keep this semi-functional human semi-functional for a lot longer.

Can anyone recommend some good accounts to follow for dopamine fashion, handmade jewelry, upcycling etc? A lot of the creators I follow on other platforms aren’t on BlueSky and it’s a damn shame.

The “Religious Liberty Commission” isn’t protecting freedom — it’s weaponizing faith to bulldoze civil rights. This is a direct attack on church/state separation. Contact your reps: demand they dismantle it. Freedom belongs to everyone, not just the bullies.

Jesus rose from the grave, not to bless the billionaires, but to remind us to tear down injustice, lift up the broken, and love radically. Easter isn’t for empire—it’s for liberation.

Pigeons can actually recognize themselves in mirrors with extensive training — something very few animals can do. Somewhere out there is a pigeon questioning its entire existence.

They said a woman’s body couldn’t handle the English Channel. Gertrude Ederle said hold my goggles and swam it faster than any man ever had. In 1926. While half the world clutched their pearls. Be loud. Be strong. Be the reason they choke on their doubt.

“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.
If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”
Take 3 minutes. This is important.

Throwing it back to my 36th birthday party because this outfit makes my little #fashionrebel heart happy. You do you, and if anyone says, you can’t wear that - grab a fist full of emergency pocket glitter, launch it into the air with flourish and say, “Bitch please, I’m a walking art exhibit.”

A proverbial fist full of glitter,
a willfully defiant heart -
I breathe life into the silences,
stoke tiny embers in the dark.
a willfully defiant heart -
I breathe life into the silences,
stoke tiny embers in the dark.
Fight on…

If the news has you spiraling, it’s okay to log off before you start doom-scrolling straight into the void. The world will still be a dumpster fire when you get back—but you will be a slightly more hydrated, slightly less unhinged version of yourself. And that’s a win.
