Amazing atheist, bad Buddhist.
Worked a bit on no buy Tuesdays & Thursdays which I was really hoping to have ready for the No Kings Protests. Osteomyelitis (bone infection) recurred a few days prior, so now I'm back on high dose antibiotics again (🎉). 😟🤢🤮

What's the point of being here if you never do anything but repost to your own (wall, timeline, skyline?) thing? Have original thoughts people! I really really want to hear them. Not just your comments, your own thoughts, what you thought was awful, interesting, fucking cool. Say some shit!
Got this text today, but um... I'm a registered Democrat and I've mostly voted 3rd party (not recently, Trump is dangerous, life is about evaluating risk).

Things have been really rough in the last week. My pain has been completely out of control. It feels like every time I think I kind of have a hold on it, it gets worse. I try to live in the moment, to not give pain its own story, but it feels like the pain has become my story, and I hate that.

One minute of what it's like to rock in my hammock at sunset. The music was the actual music I was listening to. I don't know whether the phone caught it from its own speakers or whether it took it from its internal self. Still beautiful music, and a beautiful little video of not much at all

I said happy birthday to my best friend, and said it's still your birthday week (I texted him on the day because he was out of town), and he said "technically my birthday week was last week" so my response was "we're old now we get two" 😂 I'm sticking with that when it comes to my birthday too. 😭

The thing about life, is that none of us get out alive.

I got frustrated with the camera settings on my stupid phone today and I love my boyfriend for this, he's like "I'm gonna go watch something with Monk (my kid), try not to smash your phone." 😂 I told him it was too expensive to break, and he laughed harder.

I noticed that the only jewelry I wear isn't fancy. It's sentimental. My father's Rolex (I own my own that's actually nicer, but I wear his). A silver ring my grandmother gave me. A necklace with a capsule of my father's ashes, it looks like a realistic heart. A Japanese coin from my boyfriend...

When I hear people in other countries commenting that we haven't gotten rid of Trump fast enough, I always think of this Pratchett quote,
"-Do something!
*There’s too many guards! They’ll kill me!
-So they’ll kill you, it’s not the end of the world.
*It will be for me, thought Rincewind grimly."
"-Do something!

Happy turkey day. What are you thankful for? I'm thankful for all the people who have helped me along the way. All the grace people have given me when they didn't have to. And I'm hopeful for a future life where I feel better than I do now.

I'm always amazed when l come here after not feeling well for a few days and I actually have a couple days of replies and ♥️,'s. It reminds me that just because I'm sick, I'm not forgotten. Been super nauseous and it makes me not want to do things. I'll be ok though, good enough. I can try to eat.

I'm really proud of myself for learning not to listen to people on this app that are obviously trying to tick me off, and just block them instead. There's no reason for me to get worked up over anyone else's nonsense. My life and my views require zero justification or validation.

I post music, because I love music, I hear it all the time, I have a soundtrack for my life, it's technically a minor bit of psychosis, but I feel like I'm living in my own movie, wouldn't change it, wouldn't even want to. My life is special partly because it has a soundtrack.

It's Thursday night so of course someone is playing super loud music in my neighborhood. What's interesting is that it is super loud like Arab techno music. It's good. I like it. Usually it's like super loud Latino music and I don't know if you've ever seen that. Pablo Francisco bit, but look him up

Pretty much the same picture I usually take at sunset (I like to photograph the same thing over and over just under different conditions on different days, I don't really know why I do it), but this is sunrise ☀️

This came up a while ago on my YouTube feed, but I was thinking about it today, because I won't give up on this country, it's my country, but I do need a drink.
