SNAP (Food Stamps) are not being distributed in my state starting next month. Starting in eight days, really.

Millions of people are going to struggle harder and be more food insecure only so a minuscule fraction of our population can keep their money and keep getting richer.

I told my BF I'd clean at least one bathroom today so I'm gonna do it! Now! Ish!

This is one of those things I wrote that I think is rather good and should be getting a lot more eyes on than Medium will currently allow.

Friend link to share!

Hello. I'm back. I forgot about this because I don't do the other social medias, but I have a thing I want to do.

Oh, hey #bluesky I forgot about you like I used to do with Twitter all the time back when Twitter was Twitter.

God, I miss Livejournal.

Hey, do you guys remember when joked that Bush 2 wasn't fit to be president because he couldn't pronounce 'nuclear'?

Let's bring back Nuc-U-Lar.

Let's raise that bar back on up!

I was finally contacted yesterday to ask if I was interested in a long Covid study at Yale NHH.

Yes, yes I am interested in doing everything I possibly can for myself and all of humanity so they don't have to deal with the shit I've been dealing with since 12/22

If you want to read a study about how LRMs collapse under the weight of their hollow "knowledge bases" conducted and written by Apple's Machine Learning Research Team, you can here:

I feel this
June 14, 2025 at 8:57 PM
I found out a couple of years ago that my bio-dad had passed away. It made me feel... nothing.

But seeing clips of Brian Wilson on TV this morning is making me weep.

Like Maya said, you'll forget what people do or say, but never how they make you feel.

I don't tell many people this, but when I was little, I thought Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was my bio-dad. I've only seen one pic of bio-dad, in profile, and when I was little, I connected him to the man who sang some of my favorite songs - some of everyone's favorite songs.

I am so happy when I go to work, look at my phone, and see NO red light blinking, meaning I have no voicemails. It's a DELIGHT!

So why am I so disappointed to wake up, check my personal emails, and have nothing really to be excited or delighted about at all.

Published another post on my #substack but not sure if it's even worth posting on #Medium... but maybe, why not?

Is saying that I'm willing to kick a Nazi in the junk if I had the opportunity considered hate speech?

Well, of course Substack says no!

Good morning, everyone. It's writing time!

But even better, it's Friday and my boss isn't coming to the office today!

Hey look, I made a Substack because Medium is really starting to suck, huh?

Still here, still wondering what to do with myself or the future of my writing.

I'm going to have a good day.

Holed up in a hotel room writing in bed while my BF works remotely at the desk like the good doobie he is.

I'm going to complain about rich fucks and post it on Medium later.

Then go to the pool.

I've been thinking a lot about identity and the future of my writing. What will I focus on? Where? Not sure yet...

Medium, while a place for connection and growth, is no longer an option ($$) I need a place to grow that will grow with me - not against me.

#Substack ?

Is this the answer?

I haven't finished anything to be able to publish on Medium all damn month. I feel like shit about myself for this.

The resistance is very strong in this one.

I love my boyfriend but absolutely hate our relationship right now.

I love my daughter but absolutely hate our relationship right now.

If I could buy a private tropical 🏝️island and disappear and be alone forever, I think I would go.
