I let myself be monotropic/hyperfocused for a while on genealogy. Now I need to move my body, lol.

I have a vulva on mine. 😁

That's a pretty color!

YES!

This makes me so sad.

Oh.

So maybe a bit of peace, then?

And another death cycle completes itself. ❤️

When I'm really unwell and can barely move around the kitchen, my bodymind defaults to being terrified, and I've been fighting that for years, thinking I must be insane. Yesterday, I made it through the fog to go, "Ok, brain, you win, yes, we're in trouble, we're probably gonna die. Now what?"...

For all the rhetoric we put out about rest and treating yourself well when you're sick - yeah that's ego talk. Our bodies are wise. Unfortunately, they still can't tell we don't live in saber-tooth tiger land....

Any prey animal worth its genetics will pretend to be well until it literally cannot because showing weakness means it'll probably be eaten. It knows this. We're prey animals, y'all. Soft, squishy beings that can't run very fast....

In other news, water is wet.

Not again! It's my favorite!

The only right answer is: not here, not ever.

I saw a piece about this on TV when I was 4, and it was super traumatic!
