Complicated Age: Passion, hobbies, and aging through the lens of Complex Age
Our relationships to our hobbies change with age--but that doesn't mean you get too old for the things you love

Decided to spontaneously ponder what it means to have passion as a suicide survivor who’s really relearning who they are ahead of their unexpected 33rd birthday.
As always, I hope this perspective piece resonates with folks who are similarly finding themselves.

If you're a cis person who has the financial ability and/or in position of power, I recommend you to exercise your privileges and give direct support to trans people and/or hire trans people because awareness isn't enough. Thanks! 😊✨

Forgot to share that the reviews are in and @qntm.org’s There is No Antiemetics Division is the book you need to be buying this season. It’s definitely my book of the year, and I can’t wait to sell the hell out of this at my bookstore!

Going to give myself grace and relax today because work was a lot over the past three days and I have more than earned an evening of making chazuke and crocheting while listening to k-pop

Next round of meds will probably by near $200, and that’ll definitely be before post day. Any support makes it all come together while I work with the state to get back on insurance
My call for mutual aid continues since buying medicine to a good chunk of my paycheck and then some. It all goes towards the next needs I need to buy this month:
paypal.me/cycatwell
paypal.me/cycatwell
Pay Cypress Catwell using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/cycatwell and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

Sorry that I’m being so political tonight but I just spent hundred of dollars on meds and I’m mad that we live in an unjust society that can be changed, but it’s in the grip of hateful men with too much money and hubris

It would be cool if the Dem's asked their donors to open their pockets and help them feed people instead of just whinging about it on social media.
Ordinary people are doing more than the party that supposedly cares about its constituents. Get creative. People are hungry.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.
Tesla shareholders have approved a pay package that could make CEO Elon Musk, already the world’s richest person, the world’s first trillionaire. https://cnn.it/43KZnkA

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I personally think that if you become a trillionaire, you’re obligated to give away it all away so that no one is ever a trillionaire because that’s a disgusting amount of wealth to hoard just because you can and want people to think that you smart
