Born to have a wealthy patron that supports my artistic endeavors and allows me to live on their estate, forced to write little essays and make art in my basement for free

"DON'T TRUST THEM THEY'RE SHADY" and it's an autistic person sat in the corner minding their business
Neurotypicals will be like "This person has bad vibes 😱" and it's just a harmless autistic person with common autistic traits.

All I’m saying is if Joseph smith had a pumpkin spice cold brew with vanilla cold foam I think he’d change his mind about a few things

Anyone else with chronic pain eventually stop feeling the pain as intensely but you started becoming more fatigued and weak?
Started a life-changing medication and had no idea how little my pain was allowing me to do day to day

Being chronically ill while trying to run your own business is so frustrating. Woke up with a migraine and I’m trying to find anything on my to-do list that wouldn’t exacerbate it… there’s nothing 😭😭

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

If you’re talking about, much less promoting, books by Mormon authors like Stephenie Meyer and Brandon Sanderson to please acknowledge that these authors are contributing financially to a church spearheading an attacks on trans people.

In a weird mood to get a Mormon related tattoo to honor where I came from. So far the only one that’s not entirely horrible is a capstone of the Nauvoo temple or “apostate” in the Deseret alphabet. Thoughts?

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
A lot of political influencers within the Atlantic/NYT orbit are very, very eager to sell us on the lie that we can get out of fascism by sacrificing trans people.

They will beat that drum even louder as the right weaponizes this tragedy.

They are liars now & they will be liars in the coming days.

it’s 2025 which apparently means you can be as terminally online as I am and still miss a potential civil war/secession starting even as you were live-skeeting your entire day, cheers

A lot of people with chronic illness are flaring right now due to the stress of the state of the world.

Living through end stage capitalism and escalating fascism takes a tremendous toll.

It’s important we all resist at our own pace. Don’t be afraid to rest. Unplug. Recharge.

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness.

Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military.

Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc.

It’s eugenics
