I recently said something to a family member that I deeply regret saying for many reasons. The reason I am posting about it here is because I know it hurt women who did not deserve to be hurt. I am ashamed that I allowed my personal trauma to be weaponized and that I am the one who did it.

The person that just got blocked from my list is not the family, the friend, the sister, I thought she was. And yet, I will still pay my debt to her. That's who I am. Anyone harmed by what she did, I am open to speaking, if you are open to hear me and not discount MY truth. That is MY vibe.

Real people need real help, in Gaza and many places. Please share or send a few bucks if you can. Certainly don’t block and definitely don’t report. It’s not illegal to ask for help. Sorry/not sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. We all have a right to live. 🫶🏻

Homemade chocolate frozen yogurt and Age of Umbra. A good night. Vibes.

My phone just autocorrected "duck" to "fuck" when I actually really did mean to say "duck," and I feel like I have finally broken its spirit

Last week, Grok called for the extermination of the Jewish people and called himself MechaHitler.

This week, the Department of Defense announced it was using Grok as an AI partner.

In response, not a single Democratic member of Congress or progressive organization has left X.

gotta admit it's funny to watch the right get torn asunder in a battle between people who thought they were hunting pedophiles and ... [checks notes, double checks, wow] the pedophiles

turns out you can do whatever you want by just doing it
