Every time I tried to warn my family of what Trump planned to do I got "oh there's no way he'd do that" in return. He's done a majority of what I warned them about in the first 24 hours of his presidency. I still warn them of what's to come, I still get "I doubt that'll happen". How did we get here?

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

Swinging wildly between laughter and anger at autism being used as a political tool to justify Elon Musk’s actions. Seeing so many opinions on my mental disability, a disability that half yall don’t even understand amuses and infuriates me to no end.

If you’re still on TikTok, you’re an idiot.

Not sorry, dummy.
Good morning, though.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

A color photo of a delicate and fluffy white medium-haired cat sitting on a window ledge. They are looking at the camera. What makes this photo extra special is that the cat is backlight by the sun coming through the window, the light illuminating their fluffy hair making them appear so luminous and angelic.

A favorite from my collection - this luminous little one from the 1960s.
