Old moots, please help me make this new place bearable!
It's probably not cancer but my mum will need surgery to remove her uterus and ovaries which will probably happen in January.

Then she will have knee surgery around March - April.

Suddenly I will be responsible for a lot. To make this all about me, I am really stressed.

Seeing all the talk about Singal's influence + BlueSky's nonaction is a very good reminder about how BS's admins did their damndest to try & sweep antiblackness under the rug in the early days AND went out of their way to make themselves unavailable

The tactic against trans ppl is 100% the same.

My mum is at the ER for a strange reason but they seem to be keeping her for a bit.

She claims she will bike home later no prob but I did say I could drive her. I guess I'll find out later.

I had Arthur Morgan healthy for an entire day. Then he only had 2 meals and didn't get an entire night's sleep and that was all it took!

(Because I insist on dragging enemies to camp just to get my gang to fight them but 2/3 times I black out)

My adoptive mum has been really into talking about my brother's and my adoptions lately and it's really uncomfortable because she's neutrally or positively describing things that have to be human rights abuses.

I'll never be able to have a honest discussion about #adoption with this person.

I talked to my health centre today and asked if it was possible to have pollen allergy reactions now. They say there's still mugwort pollen. Mugwort starts in July.

It is December.....

For anyone curious about how the ~nonviolent~ Civil Rights Movement was supported by Black people willing to use firearms to protect other Black people and Black leaders of the movement, I can’t recommend this book enough.

MLK was protected by people who was packin that heat.

My autistic self genuinely used to prefer driving at night but now it goes from enjoyment to pain and I can't see the road anymore just that disgusting light sources from incoming traffic trying to kill me.

I was worried I had gotten more light sensitive but nah it's mostly just the cars.
In one of the strangest chapters of my life, I spent several months in the trenches of Big Headlight, looking to understand just how and why headlights became brighter than the sun. Answers, graphs, penis sketches—it's all here, on the brand new Ringer site:

If you're an adoptive parent contemplating writing a children's book about adoption, don't.

You tend to write about the day you adopted your child, but that's not a story about adoption. It's a story about you.

Let the adult adoptees write about adoption. It happened to us, not you.

"the readoption can be used to change the child's name, age, date of birth..."

WHAT
I am watching a CLE on #adoption and this is just radicalizing me more and more against the practice. Why the fuck is international adoption legal?

WHY ARE YOU ALLOWED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF A CHILD WHEN YOU ADOPT THEM

I got a letter from my dentist today reminding me that I need to renew my dental care card (which means it's included in regular health care costs) at my doctor.

I know my psych clinic said that they'd fix it before they decided I was cured or whatever last week. What do I do?

"I am a victim of human trafficking."

When Veronica's mum went to pick her up from the temporary home she had been staying at it was empty and closed.

Veronica was then adopted by a couple in Sweden. #Adoption
