testing this video stuff here, haha

I’ve understood the basics of this tax shite, but holy fuck it is insane to see in a visual.

so, I’ve been going to bed VERY early for the past two weeks & not sleeping well and I keep peeling my nails down to the wick (sorry, I know—gross!) and I snooze my alarms a lot and yeah … I STILL think, in a fucked up way, I am mentally at my best *gestures to everything* considering. Thank you 😌✨

—be kind to yourself, it’s so difficult right now
—please keep texting and calling and leaning on each other right now; community is key (I know it’s helping me stay sane & not gaslight myself)
—and lastly, fuck these fuckin fascists👏👏

🖤 nothing will ever stop me from being me 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

—focus on Black & POC owned businesses, especially during this black history month (feb)
—focus on women owned businesses, especially during women’s history month (march)
—shop queer & trans as often as possible

🖤 let’s collectively put our money where it will really make a difference:

—boycott places that have given money to MAGA/this new administration (ie amazon, target, walmart, mcdonald’s, & more)
—shop local & small businesses (a lot are online too!)

it’s difficult to live ethically in a capitalist hellscape, but I’m doing my damndest and I know you are too.

I was assigned this homework because I’m at a point where I’m logically understanding the concepts I’m learning in therapy, but I’m having a hard time applying them consistency. Her book shows incredible examples of how to apply these things—I like learning by example or visuals. (audiobook is 👏)

🖤 I’m about halfway through “the let them theory” by @melrobbins.bsky.social (my homework assigned by my amazing therapist) and it’s truly helping me get through this week and set myself up for success and joy. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Today and in the coming days, remember

I made sure I picked up salty, crunchy, cold snacks before the freeze tonight/tomorrow.

I’ll be posting this today

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

one of my favorite quotes

@capt-pete.bsky.social 🤗

I LOVE THE RIGHT STUFF! That was one of my favorite movies growing up 🥹🥹

thank you 🥹🥹 I hope so too!!

HOLLY HUNTER is absolute gold. Dreyfuss’ character is sooooo awful and annoying.

I loved the chat!! Accidentally had a lil mental spiral towards the end so I was passively watching the ending, but I LOVE Y’ALL 🫶

I haven’t given myself a hard deadline to do this (mostly because I’d like to download and archive as much as possible first), but it will happen & I will be ok.

However, if you’ve stumbled upon this thread and what to share your own relatable feelings or advice, I welcome it.

Much love,

and, it’s more important to disconnect from things that I have control of that do not benefit me as a person or my community anymore. Meta’s new guidelines are inline with the hate and bigotry I don’t allow IRL, so why would I continue online?🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is definitely not an exhaustive list either🥲

and yes, I realize a lot of these things I can get in other ways and I’m pretty amazing at adapting and getting the needs in my life filled.

I guess I just wanted to document this for myself here, so that I can reflect on it later & be like “go off, baddie—you got through this!”💅

✨also, as a millennial, having to adapt AGAIN to another app (we’ve done it so many times) why am I so nervous??

✨feeling alone (to clarify: when I imagine what it’ll be like to not have access to the things I have at the moment on those platforms, this is a big feeling I end up having)
4/7

✨forgetting someone when I jump off the app (ie like, not having another connector to them / having ADHD I tend to forget and need to reference)

✨honestly, as a millennial, these apps are a little bit like diaries and blogs, how to transition to something different than “posting” or something
3/7

✨that I’ll lose community I HAVE found and have to start over here or somewhere else

✨seeing content that’s so relatable and validating to me

✨local community pages that haven’t flocked from these apps yet

✨not seeing fun or silly photos or videos in the same place
2/7

✨Here’s a few things I’m terrified about when I eventually delete my Facebook, Instagram, and now TikTok (possibly) is:
