The breakdown where you're spewing madness all over the internet embarrassingly is like a rite of passage in the life of the modern mad person. I recall mass deleting three months of psychotic (literally) tweets from back in the day.

So I try not to give too many gory details about life with long covid, but I also think it’s important to give a clear picture of what can happen to anyone.

Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.

Do others struggle with guilt & inadequacy because of disability? Like I can't go that hard, I can't do that thing, what's that say about my worth. I know all that is nonsense internalized ableism but I can't be the only one who deals with it.

I wrote this essay in the current Sudan issue of Transition Magazine titled "The Politics of Hunger" which argues that the current hunger crisis has been decades in the making. It begins with Nimeiri and looks at US engagement over the decades.

What no slasher flicks on the pope's list of favorite movies?! I was hoping he'd tell me what's up on the bloody thrillers.

My message to those who care:
We are still marginalized in Gaza — 12 members of my family are suffering from hunger,and we are barely trying to survive.
Aid is limited, and food prices in the markets are extremely high
Please,help us survive.💔

I was making bank as a babysitter from age 10 or eleven, I'd watch the younger kids of my parents' friends or people in the neighborhood so they could have a night out. I even took a certified babysitting course at the hospital & learned CPR.
Technically babysitting because I made money off that from late elementary school, then in high school I was a cashier at a sandwich place.
