Nothing like taking your legitimately prescribed pain killers and writing grief poetry about your miscarriage for 2 hours.

Fuck you 2025.

Oh Rubio, you've already proven to be unprincipled (gave that up quick for power, eh?) but now you're just becoming cringe.

I mean, it pretty much is at this point. And you're probably Gretchen.

Was considering changing my Bluesky header a few weeks ago but it continues to be more and more relevant...

Not revile, no. But as a symbol that used to make me feel very proud of my country and values now it just makes me incredibly sad. I don't think I'll ever feel that way about it again and that makes me even sadder. (Some of it was growing up and traveling more...but mostly the last 13 years.)

Part of me is like: what the fuck is happening???
And the rest of me is like: exactly what you thought would happen...

Doctors not wanting to treat me. "We base our recommendations off of research."

Me, who has had this condition my whole life and knows better: No ma'am, you based it off of one medication on my list after you looked at my chart in the hall 5 minutes before walking in the exam room.

Realizing my son (3) has heard more than 1000 stories now.

I hope his love of reading stays with him always.

How do you handle being in a work meeting with someone you don't feel safe with (emotionally/psychologically)?

Thank God for cats who know when you're sad. Nothing like that warm purr to comfort you.

Staving off a mental breakdown with leftover Halloween candy while upholding the capitalist system...against my better judgement.

I'm just not doing great today. Can't put my finger on exactly why (you know besides capitalism and the election and war etc etc).

It was my birthday yesterday and I'm not usually bothered by getting older but I wonder if it is adding a bonus layer on the above stuff.

Absolutely terrifying.

But also we voted to fuck around and find out so I guess we will.
