this is a view of the creative frenzy which is my home alone time ✨

Blackout starts at midnight tonight. Y’all ready? Finish up prep TODAY.

there it is... to accurately describe the policies of the state of israel using language adopted by the international human rights community, including the international court of justice and the international criminal court, is to vilify and demonize jewish people.

my boyfriend furiously studying attic greek (for fun) at 8am before 8 hours of classes after which we're going to another live lecture (for fun)

back to bluesky because I have no friends here but at least I'm not getting horrible sponsored posts that blame all kinds of"cultural ills" on premarital sex 😭

Walk into the hardware store and you buy either a tarp or a canvas drop cloth, but make sure it has grommets. Also get some large zip ties. Paint TRUMP TAKE EGG on the tarp. Grab a couple friends, leave your phones at home, put on hoodies and bandanas, and get 'er done.

One of my songs I wrote years ago I didn't realize is in 6/8. What I thought was a time signature change was a tempo change. Imagine my surprise 😂 It all makes sense now

He's amazed by my intuitive aptitude to create, and I'm amazed by his encyclopedic knowledge of popular music and music theory

Me and my bf have such complementary musical skills. While I work on writing music, he gives me criticism, feedback, inspiration that only a musician can give

We walk out of the ENT clinic, my boyfriend's like "I'm going to blow your autism's mind right now - you don't say "take care" when you're the one leaving" 😳

my vocal type was definitely not soprano but I had a strong voice and a good time with the highest parts in choir

omfg someone explain to me how I used to sing soprano in high school and this guide is telling me my vocal range is bass 😭 not what I expected LMAO

That sounds like it could be fun!! 😂

It makes me feel so respected that he sees the reality of my limits and he's willing to say no to me. Definitely an underappreciated form of love. 💗

I can already hear myself negotiating with him: "what about a small mountain, the kind you can summit in a day?"
"nothing that requires ropes or traversing glaciers"
😂😂😂

It amuses me endlessly how my boyfriend is the first person to take my disability seriously enough to forbid me from my riskier dreams & ambitions. I got "no train hopping," "no mountaineering" and "no circus training"

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Absolutely adore the urologist I'm working with today. He has the most pleasant AuDHD. An excellent doctor, competent, disarming, but struggles with common sense like leaving cabinet doors open and time management.

Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article) Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

they've also offered me financial aid already, when I said I couldn't afford classes twice a week, she said, "we want you to be here as much as you want to be here."

she also told me I have excellent feet for ballet and they have been wasted inside of my skates all these years 😂

she is very excited to have a boy in the classes 💀 she nearly jumped up n down when I said I would perform with them.
