One thing I would love to see change in my lifetime is ice cream places carrying gluten free oreos instead of the regular ones so people like me (w/ celiac disease) can just treat ourselves to ice cream. I miss dairy queen blizzards. And culvers custard. And literally all ice cream shoppes ever.

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

This may mean nothing. However, it may also mean something. I posted on TikTok about 30 mins ago. I now cant get back into my account. It is the only app saying im offline. Just a heads up. For safety purposes because that is the time we live in apparently.

Goodness gracious am I getting sick of professors trying to bring AI into the learning environments. :))

I dont have a clue what else to do other than keep calling my representatives asking them to bring articles of impeachment, and continue sharing what I know.

Pulling plan A-Z out all at once, and coinciding with the way trump literally did the whole 👀 after finding out other countries dont hold elections while at war.

I say we on purpose. This is going to take all of us to fix it. This is a mess we all get to clean up.

So apparently we think we are pirates now?

Just gunna seize an oil vessel that isn't ours because of black market suspicions real quick.

I feel as if they are trying to incite war literally any way they can.

"But the kids are..!!!!"

Shush, shsshhh. Listen. I don't think you understand. In the online spaces you aren't privy to, the kids are building fully functioning societies and working virtual jobs.

Wait... doesn't one have to do vigorous research in order to get a law degree? How do you end up in such a high paying position and not know how to read a research paper? How do I, still in college, know how to read a research paper better than a guy in one of the highest paying jobs in the u.s.?

What radicalized you?

there was a kid in my class that didnt have to stand for the pledge of allegiance for religious purposes in elementary school. I tried to stay seated one day, and was told to stand. I asked why, and rather than satiating my curious mind, they sent me to the principals office.

What are they looking for with the acuity tests and MRIs? What have they already found? We know the administration isn't going by the book in every area at this point, so what is it?

The reason I bring this up specifically is because I know for a fact it would be hidden for as long as it possibly can be.

Not to mention the ghost writing on some of his social media posts that looks like poorly done "write it like trump" chat gpt.

I cannot diagnose, but I can draw parallels, and when reading over the criteria for delusions in the dsm 5, why does it match the behavior of the current standing president of the United States? At what point does keeping him in the white house become elder abuse?

@rbreich.bsky.social I just wanna give a quick thank you for speaking out the way you do. We just watched your "inequality for all" documentary for my race, gender, and class course and it was great, eye opening, and inspiring. it's amazing that something from 2013 is still so relevant today.

this game.
THIS GAME.

I played the demo last night and actually devastated that it's only a demo still. SO GOOD. this is what I've been asking from cozy games. More than just farming. Gimme all the features. It's also so cute. I can't tell you how long I spent with the creatures.

All of this to say, I know I'm really hard on myself and I shouldn't be. It feels engrained and I'm working on it.

I tend to worry, and more so when it comes to my performance in academics. I know that my worth and my grades are two separate things, but it can be incredibly hard to separate them.

I thought FOR SURE itd be the one to tank my gpa. this class was *hard.*

the absolutely overjoyed elation and relief I feel right now though??? OOOOF that feels good.

it was an A. I got an A. Not even a minus included. that's so goddamn exciting

holy shiiiiiiit. not me thinking I flunked a paper by not having time to do an entire segment of it.

I went through the grading rubric, looked at my estimated grades, and thought I was going to get a C in that class. I thought it'd be the first grade lower than a B since being back in school.

literally what the current presidential administration is scared of in portland:

i think one of the hardest things in connecting with others for me, is that im a solution oriented person. however, when speaking with others, my experience has been that most will hear the problem, put up defenses and run. they dont stick around long enough to get to the collaboration stage

are we actually serious at this point?? are we sure hes competent to be there? has no one called his mental competency into question yet? I'm still at the beginning of my education in psychology and this behavior looks like textbook delusion. right???

this is what drives me. this is the motivation i needed to keep me going with all the bad.

its the collective coming together of people with dreams and goals, and passion, and their individual stories.

so beautiful. 🖤

one of the things i experience strongly is collective effervescence, and am almost always brought to tears.

when i say this season has been the *most* diverse ive seen yet, WOW. there hasnt been a single act i havent cried 😅

i have a-not-so- secret guilty pleasure of watching americas got talent every year because it helps instill the drive and passion to keep moving forward that can be SO HARD to hang onto with depression.

If I'm being real- I think therapy has made me funnier, because I don't feel I need to use my trauma to relate to other people. My jokes don't miss as often.

A good therapist will give you the tools and encouragement to move forward and grow *with* the bad that happened.

To be so straightforward - that SUCKS. I know it kept me and so many others that were in similar shoes from even looking into therapy for so long.

Therapy doesn't change who you are, and I promise you that your sense of humor will still be there.

It's so interesting to me growing up in smaller towns how there was engraving of the belief that having to go to therapy would fundamentally change who you are, and it meant that something was wrong with you.

i just need one of the cozy game devs with the really beautiful aesthetically pleasing games to release a beautiful life planner app.

i dont feel this should even have to be said, but the way of thinking that causes you to believe that those in red states deserve disasters is dangerous, cult-like, and dehumanizing & is the same behavior that you're condemning from them.

when the societal concept of "common sense" was fed to you, remember:

people only know what they are taught, and most of us have been propagandized to become angry at others for displaying their humanity.
