I can't wait for nothing of consequence to happen!

After Hours

Hi, friend. What's a good way to get connected with you?

My anxiety: *gets so bad sometimes that my body shuts down and I am physically unable to eat for days*

My internalized ableism: haha, u know what, im probably actually faking all this mental health stuff, actually.

If I see one more person trying to sane-wash the president of our country posting an AI video of himself dressed up as a king airdropping feces on American citizens exercising their first amendment right, I am going to go certifiably insane.

THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL. OR. OKAY. Stop acting like it is.

Manager at Domino’s: I'm so sorry about the mix-up. Let me comp your order for the inconvenience. I'll start that process right away.

Me, a chronic people-pleaser with self-esteem issues: oh no, this is so much worse than my pizza being late.

I thought I was alone in this 😭 My Linkin Park obsessed friends and family don't understand how annoying their obsessions are! They'll ask me "What is it about me that annoys you so much?" and all I always respond "Everything you say to me."

Dead of night? Power out because of a huge storm? No car to drive yourself anywhere with power? Feel like you're going insane stuck inside the house with no lights and no sounds? Ask your doctor if wandering around town on foot like you're a survivor in an apocalyptic wasteland is right for you!

a young girl is screaming with her mouth wide open . ALT: a young girl is screaming with her mouth wide open .

Me: I refuse to mourn for a man who would have rejoiced in my death.

A whole bunch of people, apparently:

Me exercising at the physical therapist's clinic: Aw, man 🥹 Haha, dang 🥹 that's a little tender 🥹 Oof, haha, owie.

Me exercising at home: [expletive]ing piece of [expletive] OW, you[expletive] absolute [expletive], I will [expletive][expletive] DIRECTLY UP YOUR [expletive] with a CACTUS.

One of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that how I was treated *because* of my mental illnesses did just as much damage to me as my actual mental illnesses did. I am spending so much time unlearning internalized ableism so that I can actually heal and move forward.

What's the difference between a stack of Greek cheese and the president of the United States of America?

One is a feta pile, and the other one....

Chester Bennington gutted me, too.

Me, trying to explain a bad ADHD day: I couldn't even fart right now without intensely thinking it over in my head for at least half an hour.

Watermelon therapy 💕🍉

Hello, my name is Cassandra, and I ate almost an entire watermelon all by myself yesterday. In my defense, society's collapsing, and it *is* summertime.

I just opened this app.

Originally, this post said "Today was bad. Nature helped."

And hearing the news today *was* bad. I cried. I raged.

But you know what else happened? I laughed til I cried on the way to the grocery store. I went for a walk and watched the sunset.

There is still beauty. I'm going to fight for it.

This aspect of it has been so terrifying to me. Two politicians were assassinated a little over two weeks ago and it isn't even on the radar for a majority of the country anymore, because it just keeps coming. The overwhelm of bad things happening is absolutely suffocating.

Dying, becoming unhoused, or being imprisoned are the options a lot of people are going to be faced with. I get accused of being hyperbolic when I say it, but it's the absolute truth.

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

I grew up in rural Kentucky. 3 hospitals near my hometown are at high risk for shutdown. If they go, the closest hospital would be nearly an hour away. People are going to die because of this, and huge swaths of them are still cheering it on. I will never, EVER understand them. Or forgive them.

I've spent the past 5 months genuinely and sincerely trying to engage with people who support the current administration on a nearly daily basis.

It's bad. It's really, really, really bad.

I’ve seen more than one post now of people saying the Republicans will pay a political price for this vote in 2026 and I gotta say folks… you’re all way more optimistic than I am. Americans aren’t great with cause and effect. They’ll assume their Medicaid got cut because of Dems somehow

I keep telling people that I don't throw around the whole "they're in a cult" thing lightly. They're not going to magically wake up one morning and undo decades of brainwashing - they're going to cling tighter, and fight harder, and continue to deny reality. I see numerous examples of it daily.

between having to weather "psychotic" as a synonym for ultimate evil and "manic" as a synonym for mildly yet boringly quirky, trying to explain my severe but not violent or dangerous mental illness to others: sucks

I love that people are calling this a heat wave instead of acknowledging that this is just how it's gonna be from now on.

Damn this timeline to hell for making me side with Tucker Carlson.
