Posting on Bluesky for me has largely been
1) to vent
2) writing to work through things that I'm dealing with in therapy
3) to share my opinions on music, theatre, movies, etc.
4) to share my insights on working in the entertainment industry & the systemic mistreatment & manipulation of artists

You all talk about Jeffrey Epstein with a lightheartedness that would imply he was in prison for stealing a pack of gum & not for raping children & running an internal sex trafficking ring for the rich & famous. I can't believe I'm saying this but you don't have to make everything into a joke

Please stop telling me to smile, 'think positively', or to 'stop being depressed'. If it were that easy, I wouldn't still be in therapy or taking psych meds. I can't smile away a chemical imbalance or decades of complex trauma

I'm listening to the CBC podcast 'Allison after NXIVM' about Allison Mack. I have A LOT of thoughts but first, I am shocked that more cult leaders don't target professional child performers because... well, because of everything. It makes so much sense. They are groomed to ignore red flags 🧵

I will never understand a company who doesn't pay their employees a living wage & then continually sets up "giving drives" to help "support families facing urgent needs". That's your employees. You're talking about your own employees.

Remember that time Rudy Giuliani farted in court so loudly that his microphone picked it up?

Leaving therapy & immediately getting so angry that I want to set people on fire... this is my life now. No amount of self-care or gratitude journaling could possibly make me feel better about our current reality. I've learned to empathize deeply with people from 40 years of trauma bonding. 🧵

I'm glad that something good finally happened & I'm happy so many people are able to find joy in that. I'm not trying to kill anyone's vibe but I'm completely numb at this point

I know a big part of my thinking comes from the fact that I don't trust anyone or anything (especially anything that comes out of a Republican's mouth) but THEY ARE LYING RIGHT TO YOUR DUMB FUCK FACES YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOTS

My mom casually mentioned that she thinks she might have fibromyalgia. I tried not to laugh because she's one of the few people on the planet who I KNOW will handle opening that Pandora's box worse than I did

I gave my best friend a Wicked inspired friendship bracelet. It made her cry. I laughed at her for crying. Then I started crying 🤣

Imagine being so arrogant & unaware of your own aromanticism/possible asexuality that you wrote a dating advice book so toxic it destroyed a generation of young women's confidence, self-esteem, & potential because they thought they were the problem

Imagine believing that the ability to feed yourself or to feed those that you love is a privilege & not a basic human right needed in order to survive

John Oliver insinuating that people with broken tail lights have ADHD is so real... this actually feels a little bit like a personal attack...

I've been really struggling for the last 2 weeks. Work is a factor but it's mostly fears & anxiety about the US. I don't feel safe & I'm afraid for everyone. Today I cried about it to my Mom. Then we brought a car load of food & household items to the food bank that the Kent County Alano club set up
