Today I got called out by my therapist for referring to my body as a "meat suit."
Apparently, "that's depersonalization" & "we need to talk more about this."
Listen. I am just a pile of tangled neurons piloting this dilapidated rig of meat & bones. Don't yell at me.

Alaska Dems need to stop cribbing from the national party & look at what is actually winning campaigns.
Because it's not throwing marginalized groups of people under the bus in an effort to capitulate to so-called moderates who are just pulling the party further right.

I'm honestly pretty frustrated with the people who are insisting that there's One Right Way to feed other people during the SNAP crisis, because this is an all-hands-on-deck moment.

I just don't think that politicians are likely to play any major role in bringing that world about, considering their track record so far - they're more likely to be changed by the system than to change it from within.
