Amazing atheist, bad Buddhist.

Worked a bit on no buy Tuesdays & Thursdays which I was really hoping to have ready for the No Kings Protests. Osteomyelitis (bone infection) recurred a few days prior, so now I'm back on high dose antibiotics again (🎉). 😟🤢🤮

What's the point of being here if you never do anything but repost to your own (wall, timeline, skyline?) thing? Have original thoughts people! I really really want to hear them. Not just your comments, your own thoughts, what you thought was awful, interesting, fucking cool. Say some shit!
No one can hurt me, because all the worst pain, I visit on myself. No one else is as mean as I am. If anyone has ever thought to say it, I've already said it to myself at least 10,000 times first. Really takes the sting out.

Wherever you go, there you are. You may not know where, but you know you're there, you can't ever be truly lost because you're right there. So where is just a place and lost is just a frame of mind.

If you don't like me
The problem might not be me
What if it was you?

I'm a problem too
We are the entire problem
Problematic us

Let's be an issue
We can do it together
Be the whole problem

Cause a lot of pain
But never to each other
For us there is love

♥️

I just knew this administration would try to make me homeless.

Khanna: And then it’s awfully convenient that those eight senators happen to be the ones who aren’t up in 2026—and they’re all consulting Schumer. People are sick of this. That’s why I called on Schumer to step down.

My boyfriend blessed me with a little ecstasy. I haven't felt this good in so long I can't remember when the last time was. I'm not in pain, the relief of not being in pain is as good as the drug itself, better maybe. Most of the time my brain is screaming at me that there's an emergency but not now

Here's a story about what happens if the government doesn't reopen.

Some of the things in this story are already happening.

I wonder how much more will happen.

My boyfriend bought me filet mignon and brussel sprouts to cook for dinner, just for me, (he went to see a movie with a friend, I could have gone, this was better} & since I only had to cook steak for me, it was cooked perfectly (I'm crazy so I like my steak black and blue, aka so rare it's mooing).

"The policy expects officials to first take screenshots of the text messages on their work phones, send it to their work email, download it on their work computers and then run a program that would recognize the text to store it in searchable formats..." Insane.

The best "Creep" cover. It's a bit longing is maybe is the word for it, but not too sad. Anyways just imagine the song some as jazz.

Long exposure view from my hammock in Miami FL at 1:33am. Also it is super hard to adjust the phone to keep it stable (especially if you also have a tremor) while the hammock rocks. Human gimbal over here, lol.

Update on my cousins daughter, one of her older step-brothers (he's like 25, they wouldn't give any info to her full brother who's almost 19 🙄), finally found out some info, but now he's refusing to tell anyone else 🙄 we're still glad someone knows something. It will be sorted and she's not lost ♥️

ICYMI: AOC says Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn’t suddenly come to her senses. Take a listen and you tell me who would you believe. See, I learned as a child to believe what a person shows you better than what they can tell you.

This was really interesting, but the website advertising is cancer, I recommend opening it up in a paired down browser (I use Firefox focus) that limits advertising and popups etc. otherwise it's super annoying to try to read.
