I have issues with anxiety and depression and alcohol made it much worse. So yeah, whatever kind of issue you’d call that!

I'm sorry, American friends, but we have to take back Superman, basketball, IMAX movies, egg cartons, and Keanu Reeves now. I wish it didn't have to be this way.

I’ve not had alcohol for 1,973 days.
Just a reminder than you can celebrate whatever milestone you damn well please.

Had to take my dog in for dental surgery today. I’m anxious about it, so I got myself a chocolate croissant and I’m stress cleaning my house.
Anyone else have fun coping skills?

Yep. Exhaustion as status has always been a strange concept to me.

Thanks for asking!

Just saw a message that started with β€œI hope you’re keeping busy” and I’m sorry what kind of unhinged greeting is that

Remember, it helps just to listen, support, and love people. Sometimes that is enough.
We can’t actually be expected to solve massive systemic injustices by ourselves.

Ugh. Stupid sunshine bringing all this light to the doom spiral.

I just worked out for my stupid mental health and it always annoys me to remember that it’s a 100% effective way to make me feel better.

Oh thank goodness. The not-cool kids are freaking me the fuck out.

Spite's a great motivator.

I wrote twelve books that way.

If you're feeling pissed off at the fuckery afoot? Spite, yo. It'll get you far.

I’m not totally sure what we do here but here’s a photo of my dog because my assumption is that joy is appropriate.
