Those who like to find fault on other's political actions, thinking they're never enough, STFU. Yes, SU before criticizing someone for choosing to fight one thing over others.

When you are trying your hardest to hide from the world, but your ear betrays you. #schnauzersofbluesky

Had it. Stupid. Needed therapy. Got better. Ugh. And sorry it’s happened to you. It really is painful. Especially when you forget and try to suddenly lift your arm.

Here's a little piece of me for 2024. Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy 2025 (because we need it!). Feliz año nuevo a todos/as/es.
