This was me at age 31. This was in 2019.

Lara Loomer looks like she's over 40 almost reaching 50. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm 3 years away from 40. My profile picture is a selfie I took a few days ago.

She's smiling. 2) A picture of a light skin Black multi-ethnic person with frizzy hair in a pony tail holding a leek to the right like a fan. She's wearing a blue shirt.

Local politics can be a cluster fuck at times. It's funny but sad at the same time. #Miami #MiamiDade #Florida

Locals complain about the current mayor but won't complain about the ones before her.
Would y'all have complained if it were Chuck Hall proposing this? Would y'all have complained if it were Jack Orr proposing this? Would y'all have complained if it were Stephen P. Clark proposing this? Would y'all have complained if it were Alex Penelas proposing this? Would y'all have complained if it were Carlos Alvarez proposing this? Would y'all have complained if it were Carlos Gimenez proposing this? If the answer is no to any of former mayors mentioned above, then you have some bias you need to work out.

This song hits right in the feels. Especially when it's raining.

I might write something inspired by this.

Sigh... 😮‍💨
Title: Foolishly Heartbroken I was a fool. I let heart break shape me into something I'm not. When the right guy did come along. It was too late. I was wounded, beaten down, and broken. I treated you coldly, And I regret it. I was afraid you'll hurt me like the last one. I didn't want to rebuild again and again... I don't have many regrets, But now I can add this to my list of regrets. You wouldn't have verbally abused me. You wouldn't have belittled me until I wanted to swim with the fishies. You wouldn't have shamed me because my body needed rest. You wouldn't have insulted my clothing. If I could take it all back, I would. But time machines don't exist Lovely... If they did... I probably change it to where you were my first love. It would've messed up space and time if I did that. So instead, I shed a few tears. I smile lightly. I pray maybe one day we'll meet in person. Until then I have my dreams. If that doesn't happen, It's okay... I can't have broken heart. Because I was the one that messed up big time.

I use to complain about loneliness. Now I don't as much. I use to complain about not having many friends. Now I realized I had all I needed the whole time. I felt left behind while my peers found their spouse. Now I'm not feeling that way. I use to want a better family and be embraced by them. Now I realized I have all I needed. I still cry a few tears at night wanting to be loved.. But that's okay... Maybe someone will wipe those tears away. Maybe not. Maybe it'll be the Michelin Man plushie. Maybe someone will kiss my tears away. Instead of complaining, I'll treasure the people that love and care about me. Thank you for being there for me. [Smiley face]

Happy Mother's!!!
Happy Mother's Day! Sometimes it is a rough day for some for various reasons. I hope you're able to find comfort, especially on this day. To the Mom's estranged from their children or their kids went astray... You did everything you were humanly able to do. Take it easy and do something that brings you joy. As long as that something doesn't harm others. To the offspring that have complicated relationships with their Biological Mom... It'll be okay. Sometimes it is a good thing she/they/whomever isn't in your life. You deserve peace and success. Shower the person that showed you motherly love with love and gifts instead. I wasn't raised by my biological mom. She wasn't capable of being a parent. But... My Great Aunt took me in and raised me. She is worthy and deserving of the title mother. Not the lady that did the birth and dash. I also will acknowledge the single Dads. They work hard too and aren't didn't the credit they deserve. Well... Happy Mother's Day!

Remember, some Haitians were here since the late 1800s to the early 1900s/1910s.

Those same exact Haitians have been living in the US longer than Trump's Mom. Let that sink in!

White text on black background: Dr. Alonzo Potter Burgess Holly was born in 1865 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Dr. Holly migrated to Miami opening his medical practice in Overtown in 1912. Fluent in French and English, he gave speeches about the Haitian Revolution in Miami and advocated for the end of the 1915 U.S. occupation in Haiti. Holly was the first black homeopathic doctor in Miami.

Look at what kind of trouble P-Diddy is in now. Messed up part, one of the songs for my senior prom was "Last Night" by P-Diddy. Some of his stuff did not age well.

Wow... This is such a Miami thing to do.

Well Madame Congress Woman, it's all fair in the game of Präsident Trump. If your constituents have to suffer, so must you!

It's only level 1. We have 3 more levels after this level. Egg prices are still high unless I travel into the trenches.

Beware of this guy.

He has scammed Miami residents out of money for an apartment or room to rent.

The original screenshots are from November of 2024. The Lyft ride request for his secretary proved to my friend and I that it was a scam.

Beware and stay informed.

Good idea, Bad idea 2025 - Housing Edition 1

Good idea:
Writing to your elected officials until their inboxes are full.

Bad idea:
Sleeping on elected officials front lawns or back yards until change happens.

The end...

Being autistic is like playing a game of poker but you were dealt a hand of uno cards instead of cards from a standard deck. Everyone else around you were dealt a hand of cards from a standard deck, but you weren't. You do what you can with the cards you were dealt. You can't change the cards you were dealt but you can make do with what you have. #Autism #Autistic

He takes the carts from me and figures I felt like making a little pocket change. Would I have been able to do this if I lived anywhere in New York? Hell no! I'll get arrested. I have some privilege but it doesn't apply everywhere. Privilege, I'll use mine for the greater good and not for harm. Even if it's to help my enemies. Ugh... Why help them? The fucks I know.

If time/energy is low... Pray for 'em/send good vibes/and all the good stuff. Autistic children, teens, and adults (18+ and elderly autistic) are more prone to burnout if not in a safe environment. Shutdowns are worse... Psych wards aren't equipped for autistic needs. So please, if you see your local autistic autisming outside, leave 'em be!
