I honestly forgot this place existed. Was looking to delete apps, saw this and thought " Oh that's right. That place still exists." I never could find a real reason to use this much unfortunately. I know it's a Twitter replacement of sorts but I never used Twitter so....

The universe works in mysterious ways sometimes.

Sometimes I miss the life I used to have.

Anybody else burned out?

Anybody else feel like their life is just one giant soap opera?

Why do so many playgrounds provide absolutely no shade? How hard is it to plant some trees or put up some overhang or pavilions?

Entrepreneurialism:

I'm thinking that maybe I should be the person that wears funny hats everywhere and just let that become my identity. Who are you? Funny hat girl.

This conference call could have been an email.

Why is it so hard to make new friends as an adult?

I handle workers comp claims for a living and one of the injured workers told me " I trust you" and " I feel safe with you". And I find I can't stop crying because honestly that's one of the nicest things anybody has ever said to me and I really needed that. I really needed to feel like I matter.

Why is it that I downplay my accomplishments but hyperfocus on my failures? Why the hell am I so hard on myself? Something I have been struggling with as of late.

Just putting this right here

Why can't we be friends 🎶

Woke up early this morning in a fright because I thought I had a gas leak. Nope. Turns out one of my dogs was lying nearby and farting in my face.

Note to self: Just because it's a good deal doesn't mean you should buy it.

I will not give in to despair. I will not give in to fear. I will not give up. Not now. Not ever.

" The substance" is one insanely fucked up movie with two amazingly good performances at its center. The movie it reminds me of the most? David Cronenberg's "The Fly". I'm still not sure I understand how this got a best picture nomination, though.

The State Department is blocking new passports for trans Americans The ACLU has warned that transgender people risk losing access to their passport and supporting documents if they apply to update their gender marker.

“The State Department is blocking new passports for trans Americans”

The EU needs to update its laws and open asylum pathways for trans people. Denying someone identification is state sponsored erasure and it needs to be recognised as persecution.

Same here. Fuck them. Fuck them all.

I'm scared. I'm so goddamn scared right now. We just want to be left in peace to be ourselves. Why are they so intent on destroying us? I will never fully understand or comprehend this.

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line.

No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination.

We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned.

I hate this timeline.

The power of voodoo

You remind me of the babe...

Trump signed an executive order that tries to write trans people out of existence today.

It's mostly symbolic.

It's still gonna make for a LOT of pain for the trans community--just probably not where you think it will.

It's gonna be real bad for grant funding, which means medical research.
