Oh I am SO excited.

I’m this close to going to my barber and asking her to give me the Okarun next Wednesday just because I know length on top, short sides with a taper would be have the queers kicking in the front door to the bookstore

Going to give myself grace and relax today because work was a lot over the past three days and I have more than earned an evening of making chazuke and crocheting while listening to k-pop

Changed my clocks six days after DST? That’s what I call right in time

Next round of meds will probably by near $200, and that’ll definitely be before post day. Any support makes it all come together while I work with the state to get back on insurance

My call for mutual aid continues since buying medicine to a good chunk of my paycheck and then some. It all goes towards the next needs I need to buy this month: paypal.me/cycatwell

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

This is how I’m gonna look every time someone hits the dislike button on one of my posts

Sorry that I’m being so political tonight but I just spent hundred of dollars on meds and I’m mad that we live in an unjust society that can be changed, but it’s in the grip of hateful men with too much money and hubris

It would be cool if the Dem's asked their donors to open their pockets and help them feed people instead of just whinging about it on social media. Ordinary people are doing more than the party that supposedly cares about its constituents. Get creative. People are hungry.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

I personally think that if you become a trillionaire, you’re obligated to give away it all away so that no one is ever a trillionaire because that’s a disgusting amount of wealth to hoard just because you can and want people to think that you smart

to be threatened by kindness is the weakest shit I've ever seen.

ChatGPT and OpenAI are genuine evil to me and I’m not yielding on this into people aren’t experiencing mental health crises that line the pockets of billionaires while the rest of us are forced to hide our grief, and even then, I’m still not yielding

Otaku USA Magazine is switching from 4 to 2 issues a year, and it is taking a break during this schedule change

Decided to spontaneously get back on a dating app and damn, I’m just really T4T in a big way. Zero interest in dating inside the binary, and I think that’s a marvel for me as who’s been in a thirteen year long journey to themselves

Tired: welcome to the resistance Inspired:

Damn it happened again, hand to queer Jesus

I’m white woman obsessed with Diet Coke right now and I’m going to fully blame it on selling flavorful caffeine to self-medicate my very intense anxiety but also it’s really good and I just didn’t learn that until last week when I drank an entire case of lime Diet Coke in like, four days

"happy potter is just part of the culture now just accept-" no. fuck off. lots of things were "part of the culture" that just are fucking NOT RELEVANT anymore. stuff that DIDN'T fund a bigot's plans for genocide even.

it should be as socially acceptable in regular life to yell “I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT” as it is when you’re at an anime con make it normal to compliment strangers on having amazing clothes

You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well. If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..." And if you can't do either?

Anyway, SNAP should be universal. Just like school lunches in NYC. Not everyone needs it to survive but everybody gets it, no means testing. There should also be a lot fewer regulations on what you can buy with SNAP and discounts, not bans, on hot prepared foods.

Back on my bullshit (reading Explicit m/m fanfics before bed to wind down with some of the richest fiction every to be digitally penned)

The Lorax just walked by me and said my mom's a hoe and no this isn't a joke I just live in a liberal coastal city

I'm excited to share that we've got another edition of Gender Queer on the way for next spring! This one is annotated by queer and trans authors, comics scholars, and multiple people who appear in the book as characters 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈📚

Got the notification I’ll be losing benefits in November and could really use a helping hand right now, especially since I’m also uninsured for the time being. paypal.me/cycatwell

The slate is slating y’all, and that does inside the fact that I can finally get my hands on Wandering Son at MSRP instead of at incredibly elevated prices

One thing I really love about using public transportation is that it frequently forces me to slow down and be okay with spending time just existing. In usually read or just kind of take in the world, and I think I’m better for it

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

What if, as part of my daily therapy homework of making time for myself, I just use Focus Friend and make a new island now? I feel minimal attachment to my previous one. Maybe this is secretly the way to engage me in practicing rest…

The AC:NH updates are exactly what I’ve been waiting for to help hook me into making a new island as Cy! Gonna stockpile my enthusiasm until 1/15/26!

Had the honor of editing this interview and I’ve gotta say, if you’re a fan of gay manga, this is a must read with one of the greats!

I can tell I’m gonna be okay because I have the immense capacity to enjoy k-pop a not as an escape from thinking but as a layered musical experience that feels like pop rocks, clear soda, and pixie sticks in my brain. Feels good to be me these days, even with the struggle

A sign that I feel comfortable unmasking is that I’m giving my coworkers little gifts. To date, that includes yarn, washi tape supplies, a paperback book, a spare GBA SP in exchange for a new hardcover of my choice, a really cool and very round rock and now, Vegetable Broth on Friday!
