You could call someone cringe

Or

You could vibe with them and meet their excitement.

See, I think most times when people make someone feel bad for getting excited, they themselves rarely feel such joy. So they have to squash it. But you can always just join them.

Idk if I'll ever be comfy speaking about pregnancy/postpartum

BUT

every day, I feel more like myself. And today, I've noticed I'm starting to see the joy and fun in things again. Delighted life isn't gonna be serious for forever.

I just remembered years ago I sold a bunch of my handmade cosplay to help pay some bills, which means my cosplay is still floating around somewhere.

Oh gosh, imagine seeing it at a convention! I hope whomever has it loves it.

Let's talk creativity and hunger.

When you are financially unstable, all your creativity goes to surviving.

How you'll get your next meal. How you'll take care of yourself and your loved ones. Your creativity and resourcefulness is all tied up in problem solving. And this is often with a job.

SNAP benefits kept me alive and fed for years. I was working the entire time, because that was part of the requirement for me to keep them.

It's enough to not starve but you aren't living large. I mostly ate mashed potatoes.

It's confusing how many people confidently parrot incorrect information.

I've been watching a lot of this channel lately, trying to understand why Republican women think the way they do.

Her channel is insightful and fascinating. I highly recommend it.

My bike was stolen. I'm quite sad about it.

Tell me something lovely you saw today. The world isn't all a bad place.

I just had to pay an extra $18 for something that only cost me $30 bc of Trump's suspension of the U.S. de minimis exemption.

Over half! For a $30 handmade gift via Etsy made by someone in Ireland sent to the USA.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Ever stay up at night ruminating over all the things you could have said?

Congrats, you too would enjoy visual novels.

I write visual novels. It's like keeping a diary people get to play in.

It is imperative that we all do what we can to help and push for the freedom of Palestine in any way possible. And I truly believe if we all contribute a little, we'll be adding to something larger than ourselves, something that can finally push the needle for change.
