I would like to register a complaint.

Why is my coffee always gone?

(Me. I'm the reason. And I allow myself one cup a day. 😭😅)

A tiny piece of bliss. I'm so glad you got to experience it. ❤️🫂

All 7 of them. 😅 (I utterly refuse to admit s8 exists.)

It bloody sucks 😅.

Sorry you've been there too. 🫂

*curls into a snail under my covers in bed*.

Hopefully I can find some excellent things to read while I'm healing. It takes me a long time.

I've got one series that I know will be good. (And I'll tear through those books in a week or less 😅.)

Oh I bet the woods were beautiful to be in! ❤️

before, probably will again, the answer is love. In almost every faith, the answer is love.

Love yourself enough to care for yourself so you can fight and care for others.

Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Please take care of you. You're irreplaceable.

it's quite apropos at the moment.

'In this changing world, we must draw together or fall together.'

Humanity hasn't survived this long through bullshit individualistic nonsense. We've survived by caring for each other. We have plenty of archaeological evidence to back that up.

I've said it

Because people get wise.

We get wise to their bullshit.
We get wise in caring for ourselves and others.
We get wise and build community (remember to include disabled and ND folks in those, please and thanks).

It's a balancing act, my loves. And we *CAN* do it.

I wrote this line in my fic, but

cowardly.

The human brain never evolved to watch all this horror without breaking. Please care for yourself so you can care for others. So you can fight.

They WANT us exhausted, confused, and overwhelmed. It's a well known fascist technique to attempt control.

Never works in the long run.

Cuddle with a loved one
Call a friend
Create a thing
Read a book
Play a game

Yes. We managed to hit the worst timeline, lucky us. And we *can* fix it.

We need to care for ourselves and others as best we can.

That starts with loving ourselves enough to look away.

And fuck, yes, I know it feels

from a broken cup any more than you can an empty one.

Fighting against fascism is a long battle, not a race. Taking a bit away to recharge is *necessary*.

Drink a cup of tea while looking at something pleasant.
Play with your pets if you have them, (they feel your stress too & don't understand)

you're not helping anyone by damaging yourself by watching it happen.

And goddess, this world needs all the help it can get. Be informed, and do your best not to damage yourself in the process.

This isn't burying your head. It's being aware that you, like every human, have limits. You can't pour

As someone with several different clusters that caused my PTSD? Listen to this advice, please.

If you don't already have PTSD/CPTSD, please take my word for it that You. Do. Not. Want. It.

Yes. I know. I really do. You feel like you have to watch.

Being aware is enough. Watching will damage you

I actually don't like being left alone to heal. I feel unwanted. Trauma scars are fuuuuun.

Being without dental care for 10 years made a mess and I'm basically an angry, spiky ball of impending terror/doom right now.

So likely won't do bsky for a bit.

Not sure how much I'll be around for a bit.

I have to finish my (extremely stressful) appeal this weekend & monday have a 'potentially extremely complicated' tooth extraction.

And I'm 'severely' phobic about dentistry. People can find me on discord or email if you want to check on me.

GoT is only one series of books as far as I'm aware.

Though, yes, it's a problem. I'm not on the 'adaptations must be exact' boat.

Be nice if they'd capture the spirit though.

So, here's the article I have out as of today and it's #OpenAccess. It deals with one of the earliest Christian Arabic scribal workshops in the Sinai monastery, where many of the mss produced there have been preserved to this day. In this 🧵 I do a quick rundown of the most important findings. 1/n

Yeah. 'Cause it sells. (In theory XD.) I wish they'd done more of what's in the book if there's a lot. It would've made the movie so much better.

I have the *strongest* feeling someone needs to read this right now.

Don't do it.

I know. I KNOW. I do. But don't. There's a lot of beauty past that moment of choice. I'm glad I stayed.

Shit sucks. I KNOW. And you are NOT a burden. They are NOT better off without you.

Listen to this instead.

I've never read it because I was a bit meh about the movie.

I am *so* adding it my wishlist now.

That's stunning. Just absolutely amazing command of the language to paint heart wrenchingly beautiful images in the mind.

Thank you for sharing ❤️.

I wish the New York Times hated rich pedophiles as much as they hate trans kids.

Solas is smitten and he's totally hiding it

#wip but I can't help it, you guys have to see this one #Solavellan

🫂

takin some more of these
gonna spend mooost of today sketching previews to send for current que as well, but someone seems to have rammed a pole up spine while I was sleeping because I can't turn my head

Finally, I can share art! I figured this could work for the "Date Night" prompt.

Hopefully you can get some comfort and rest.

And keep the populace overworked, underpaid, undereducated, and sick so we don't revolt.

This hasn't ever worked because you can only push people so far. Seems they'd have figured that out by now.

Audhd, I struggle with jokes frequently anyway, but I doubt I'd recognize one about this either.

All those Discord alternatives that y'all are trying to push (Stoat, Matrix, Fluxer, Root, etc.) will have to comply with this as well if we don't stop this.

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES EVERY DAY & TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON KOSA, SCREEN Act, & ANY OTHER INTERNET CENSORSHIP BILLS!

When I was about to go to Quantico for training, they made it very clear how important security was.

I keep asking myself if this thing with Muskmelon is a joke.

And how can it not be? Because this is the worst timeline.

MI from other countries are sitting there laughing their asses off.
