all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

We can change that. 🔽 /1

If you need me I’ll be in the forest not knowing how the electoral college works

PSA for the upcoming Canadian federal election #CDNPoli. I am quite unhappy that Elections Canada is the phrase "Are you registered to vote?" on their website. Canadians have the right to show up at the polls and vote with ID. You don't not need to be on a list or registry.
