Still COVIDing. Wear a freaking mask. I have a bachelor's degree in political science and an autistic sense of justice. Constantly dismayed by the existential horrors of living through social collapse.

Chaz crossed over the rainbow bridge this afternoon in my arms. I asked him to please give me a sign that he was okay. First I saw the first and only raspberry on plants that weren’t even close ready to bear yesterday. We would have called it a Chazberry. Then I looked up at the sky and there was a

I don’t think anyone can actually explain how hard making end of life decisions for a senior pet is until you’ve been there. I thought I was prepared and knew what I wanted to do if the situation came up but now that I’m actually here living it I feel like I’m walking through jello. #SeniorPets

As they prepare for mass arrests in LA due to the ICE raid, a reminder that jails & prisons have notoriously bad air quality
Incarcerated people have been largely ignored through the COVID pandemic
Clean air in jails would go a long way towards reducing infection, yet almost no one talks about it

Survival is resistance.
Taking care of yourself is resistance.
Practicing community care is resistance.
Showing up for others is resistance.
Not all forms of resistance are flashy and obvious, but that doesn’t make them any less meaningful.

Canine Cognitive Dysfunction really sucks. I know my friend is in there and it’s apparent on most days, but on the bad days i hope something in him knows that I’m not trying to torture him when I have to force him to take his meds or lay down and sleep 😭 #SeniorPets

So I don't want to use google because I don't like the capitalist enshittification of the search results, but DuckDuckGo also sucks and is deliberately misleading about data sharing practices. I don't care about data sharing so much as I don't like deliberately deceptive practices. Recommendations?

Some critter is taking tiny bites out of my strawberries before they even ripen and then they fill with ants. I’ve had a strawberry patch for five years and this is the first year it’s happened to every single one. Gah! 😭 #Garden #Strawberries

If you don’t look like what you’ve been thru, people have a hard time believing you went thru anything at all.
I’m not sorry for remaining soft in spite of it all! Or for finding a home in myself! Or for my authenticity!
I went thru hell to find it.
And so I cherish it.

Generative AI is melting our only planet.
Don’t use it.
ChatGPT wastes 10x the amount of water as Google.
And last year, Google was in talks to purchase 8 nuclear reactors in order to power their own AI.
This is not sustainable.
Stop using it today. It’s literal Earth Day.

The only thing keeping my head barely ever so slightly above water and not slipping into the impending doom is that I can buy fun plants online and put them in my garden. Highly recommend getting some plants to obsess over when the doom is too much.

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time.
People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives.
Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run

I keep trying to think of things to say in this moment that could possibly help the situation that we have found ourselves in with respect to the impending genocide reaching our front door, but I've got nothing. I should not have to sit here and say why autistic people should exist. I'm tired.
