Gangsta's Paradise was just on the oldies radio station, followed by Walk Like an Egyptian.
I understand that democracy is crumbling around me, but I'm pretty sure that *this* proves that nothing means anything any more.

Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know" came on the radio this morning. I still think it sounds like she's saying, "I'm asking you 'cause you know about bee stings."

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.

Calling on my reps today to do everything they can to oppose anti-transgender legislation. If you’re in the US, I’d appreciate it if you would take 10 minutes today to do the same.

I'm tired of feeling like ending my texts with a period will make the recipient think I'm mad at them.

What are you doing for self care right now? I'm earning money so my family can get by, I'm snuggling my cats, I'm changing my ad and privacy settings on my accounts, and I'm culling my friends list because I don't need random conservatives I was friends with in high school to be part of my life.

It's strange that even though we've entered the beginning of a fascist felon's presidency where people I love and people like me are facing potential untold horrors, I'm just sitting here slow blinking with my cat. Right now, that's my self care.

Despite my 6 year old's insistence that he was, "the hungriest man in the world," he was not able to finish 2 chocolate donut bars and 5 breakfast sausages at breakfast. He did, however, eat 1.5 donut bars and 4 sausages. I'm pretty sure he'll be 6 feet tall by next week.

One of my neurodivergent traits is blowing tasks way out of proportion. The longer I wait, the more monstrous they feel. Today I called my insurance company because they denied several claims (including an MRI), and the problem was resolved in just a few minutes by a very kind representative. Whew!

I'm 3/4 through a YA novel, and it just reached the point where I'm not sure I want to read any more. It just got way too angsty. Normally I wouldn't quit at this point, but I'm not sure I can handle this level of angst any more.

The flu sucks. Today I went through a small box of tissues entirely by myself, and I've started on the second one. 🤧

I had a history teacher who in 1986 told us that the Berlin wall will sadly not fall in our lifetime. I think about this all the time when idiots insist that some circumstances cannot be changed

Consider getting your kids’ teachers holiday gifts. They work ridiculously hard in a field which affords them very little dignity, in a country which is trying to demolish their institution. A bottle of wine or a gift card for coffee is a surprisingly big mental health boost.

My ideal aesthetic right now vacillates between approachable gothy witch, and cozy queer.
Now I need to get a haircut that more accurately reflects that.
