Thank you so much for sharing!

Hello, please pay attention: A Nevada dairy worker has contracted the deadly D1.1 strain of bird flu, seen in a British Columbia teen who recovered and a Louisiana victim who died. This mutated strain spreads rapidly among mammals, including cattle, and is moving faster than others. Migrating birds will spread it globally, increasing the risk of more outbreaks. What started in the U.S. is now a global threat. A bird flu pandemic is almost here.

I’m 2 magnesium and one movie deep. I’m surely not more cognizant than him at this point.

He’s settling down. I ask him if he’s okay and realize he’s already back in REM. Will he remember this in the morning? No clue.

“my phone is dead.”
I check his charger. Tell him it’s plugged in. He tells me he unplugged it and couldn’t see the time, so he thought he had to go to work.
I am, at the same time, absolutely spooked. This man never wakes up.

Climb into bed after a binge watch.
Getting the sheets into position, hanging, ready to sleep.
“WHAT TIME IS IT????”
I look to my right. My partner is awake, bug eyed, staring at me in fear.
“WHAT TIME IS IT???”
I am so dumbfounded, “Uh, 1am?!”
He looked relieved, then just goes …

Hag in the bestest of terms. But my solutions for things now almost always include dirt.

I believe folk magic has turned me into a little wood hag.

I think of all the negative things to be said about social media - of all the terrible people who own them - I thank it for many things. For some of my closest friends. For teaching me of new things. For the ability to be independent financially. For all the terrible, there are droplets of good.

Also eggshells do great. Blessed water sans salt. Three crystals.

This is the reason the saying “and salt the earth behind you” exists when you’re leaving something bad! (that’s how I learned it)

The cruelty is the point.
They want you to panic.
They want you to give up.
They want you dead.
Don’t let them win.
You have to live.
Better days can only come if you’re still here.

No one knows what comes tomorrow, but I promise we need you. We need you alive. We need you to breathe.

The time for action will present itself to you, and you will act. But you need to titrate what is coming in. To let what is happening take up all of your time and energy is to let him win. It is what he wants. Get off your phone. Kiss your friends. Hold hands with them. Read a new book. Just breathe

I am so privileged to have two amazing folks who are willing to tell me when they have no idea what happens next, they can’t tell me what to do, but just breathe. Not everyone has that right now, so I will be that for you. Right now your job is to survive. It is to breathe.

She says just go one day at a time. You can’t help everyone. You can’t save everyone. Just find one thing to fix today. She tells me to get off the internet, to find new spaces to exist in, and I can hear my dad in the background adding to what she’s telling me as I just cry and break down.

It’s so easy to feel alone and defeated right now. I called my mom crying, telling her I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, fully in a meltdown, and she says right now you’re not supposed to do anything. Just breathe. She said to me it’s so easy to catastrophize and takes so much energy not to.

it's never too late to assess your skills, strengths, areas of expertise, and where these intersect political issues with the most impact. and to that end, how can you pull closer to your communities and pool your skills and strengths to not just make a broader impact but meet each others' needs?

Here is a moment of peace for your timeline.

all you people who told us to calm down can go fuck yourselves

That was the part of it I always liked tbh

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

I’m not in a position to fully delete Tiktok right now, but it could be a place like IG & exploring more long form content.

I’m pretty good w boundaries with where I scroll & how much time I spent. I did some light scrolling on Tumblr & honest I enjoy that & the photos more than I do IG right now.
