A person trying to exist. I also do art, and art type things.
Hey... I'm still not over Sunrise on the Reaping.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Ahhhhh okay but what do you do when the person you're co-parenting with puts their feelings before the kid's?

Im bad at this. 😩

That awkward feeling of wanting to vent about co-parenting things online to find support, but also want to keep my kid's privacy...
Boo

Being responsible is so stupid

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

It's so annoying re-watching The 100. Everyone is making choices based on feelings, and then asking Clarke to clean up the mess

It's the last few weeks of elementary school for my eldest. We are also in the middle of a move to a house we inherited.

My hair is falling out.

My joints hurt so much.

My stomach refuses to behave.

My body doesn't care if the stress is positive or negative.

Lupus sucks.

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

Yay...the Bradley Whitford episodes of The Handmaid's Tale!

Bluesky is one of the only major social media sites that still doesn't bury your posts for including news sources or outside links and lets you customize your experience to best suit your mental health.

It's why there's an endless stream of opinion pieces about how it's cooked

I received this message after the political assassinations in Minnesota.
Many people have encouraged me to contact the RCMP.
But I've been through the routine many times.
Nothing happens.
I'll just add it to my extensive file of stupid haters.
They are cowards.
I carry on.

Back to watching The Handmaid's Tale for the first time. We are on season 2 episode 5. It's a curious episode

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

Watching The Handmaid's Tale for the first time. Currently on Season 2 episode 4 and for a society claiming to be godly and Christian, this is a shit ton of paganism.

Straight witchcraft.

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

The place where they slaughtered journalists in The Handmaid's Tale is appropriately haunting

Me... watching The Handmaid's Tale season 2 for the first time... And watching how the US was manipulated into an authoritarian gov with the use of the national guard and marines... 👀

They watched the show and got inspired guys...then they did the research to ensure they could make it happen.

It's totally fine to start a second draft when I haven't figured out the ending right?

RIGHT?

Lupus is so ridiculous, because moving us stressful enough without Lupus deciding to make everything hurt, because of the stress of moving.

Also my kid is graduating grade 8 and that is also so stressful.

My body is just so unhappy with me.

Another year goes by and my second favourite Stephen King book doesn't get an adaptation despite being a fantastic set up for a mini series...
