okay not to come on here and dump all at once but it’s also wild how overwhelmed i feel because i feel like im doing absolutely nothing……i had such an amazing day on sunday and felt like nothing could stop me…..just for a bad Monday to send me spiraling again

lol it is so painful to have had 3 parents and the only surviving parent clearly hates you and then you remember the dead ones hated you too 🤪 (crooked face with tongue out and googly eyes) i am very fucked up 🙂👍🏽 (smile and light brown thumbs up)

i wish i was as mean as all the mean ass mfs in my life swear i am

feeling most out of place and isolated when around family yay 👍🏽

goddddddd i love “we are lady parts” sooooo so much

and plants too! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

sorry i haven’t been active i’ve been being gay

i just have to say….wicks are so sexy yes but also just so fuckin magical. niggas in stem type shit fr!

California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a State of Emergency due to concerns over bird flu infections across the US.

so thank you (/sar) to everyone who has contributed to this pandemic being as severe and drawn out as it is because now i am avoiding treatment because the risk is too high right now 🫠👍🏽

why does my body always make it clear that i need another course of immunosuppressants at the worst time possible?

a quick #nsfw ask i know this is quite the reach but where are Black maskers/covid realists making kinky connections? please don’t say feeld lol

i feel like every time i tell someone how well my recovery is going, something new starts hurting

feeling a lot of grief and frustration today but i just found out one of my childhood friends from church is gay so that’s a positive 👍🏽

loverboi to a fault 😞

not to be corny or a jinx, but I’m genuinely so excited for the new year. after suuuuuch a shitty and traumatic year or 2….or 5, I’m heading into the year where my Saturn’s return will begin feeling grounded, equipped, and hopeful. i got nerves too, but when don’t I?

been going through the rollercoasters of recovery alongside an evil, negligent landlord who had us in a cold ass Chicago basement with no heat last weekend this led to me having a really shitty flare up with my healing muscles and tissue at the site of my surgery 😵‍💫 so I been reeeeeal off game

wait i know i be late but why i’m getting read receipts from the android girlies now in iMessage?????? chile i don’t know what RCS means

okay so it’s looking like i may not be able to submit my ssdi app by the end of the year like i hoped :/ but im also feeling really calm about it in a way that’s……out of character a bit 💀

maxwell, amirite?

i know there’s been hella community discourse lately. i’m not up to date on it so i promise this ain’t a sub at nobody 💀 just me being long winded + emotional 💀 i am so grateful for how supportive my people been through my recovery 🥲 my niggas (and non-niggas — as they should!!) really got my back!

I hate when people act like NY (yes even NYC) isn’t racist There’s no way you can actually be from the Northeast and be an adult, thinking that this isn’t the south, but cold This entire country is racist as hell. The major difference is our racism has regional flavors

nah i think they just saw us laughing at them, and shame actually worked for once. 💀

wait i’m screaming not ZeusSky

oh shut up crackers

respectfully i need a (non-hierarchical) BLACK disability justice feed on here but I’m still too fatigued to even try and see if I’d know how to do it myself 😩

disability justice needs less "disabled people can bring just as much profit to your endeavor" and more "dignity and comfort not should be based on productivity"

Ooooo putting this here for later

“Good public health is a collective endeavor, & regardless of who holds the highest office, we all still have agency, and there are many things that we can do in our own communities and at the local & state levels to not only protect public health but make progress." - Me in @huffpost.bsky.social

I’m currently recovering from surgery and also separately in the process of applying for SSDI. I’d hugely appreciate anyone who can contribute and/or share with others who can donate at this time. 🫶🏽 t.co/xwxBTahu5b

okay so I’m still recovering from surgery and my cognitive function is still running at a lower capacity. where can i find the download on what is (and what isn’t) safer over here?

too many thoughts while i really need to just sit in a corner and turn my brain off!
