I had a dream I was able to run and I felt so free. disability grief dreams reaching a new level of depressing

people ask for hot takes so casually but I truly don't think most people would be able to handle my hot takes even though they are factually correct lol

I've done such good work with my mom over the years. during dinner tonight she was like "I was just talking to my therapist about misogyny and the patriarchy today" lol. she's seeing the patterns that she was always annoyed by but no one ever named it as "patriarchy"

Hi wear your mask at the airport even before you enter, for the following reasons and more: Airports are the global crossroads of viruses, bacteria, and germs. Facial recognition, biometric theft starts from the outside of the building. Interdependence, not individualism.

my sister: "did I tell you about the student everyone thought was undercover for the FAA bc he was so mysterious but he was really just a scorpio?"

found out my new therapist I love is a gemini bc of course she is 😂 my gemini moon emotions collaborating with a gemini sun therapist is so poetic

I can already tell this summer is going to be horrible bc it's already been hot since January and my room is so warm from these hot days that I can't even fall asleep rn despite doing everything I can to cool it down (thermostat reads downstairs and my room upstairs is always 5-8° hotter)

A strategy I am recommending to people who don’t want to mask all the time is always in healthcare facilities and public transportation, AND if you see someone in a mask, put yours on. The first helps protect spaces high risk people may have no choice but to go, the second shows them support.

my not-yet-2 yr old niece has been saying " I love you" to me lately but today she said it to me without me saying it first 😭 she looked at me and said I love you and hugged me 🥺😭

idk who sold my email address to Dominos but I got signed up for their newsletter & I've literally never ordered from them or even looked at their website or app lol. (I've been gluten free since I became an adult & I don't mess with cross contamination). this is like a Jesus conception situation

didn't banks used to be open for like a couple hours on saturdays? I swear mine used to be and now they're all closed sat & sun but idk when it changed lol I feel insane

on tuesday I was officially diagnosed with adhd after suspecting it for years. yesterday was the 6 yr anniversary of my first covid infection that gave me long covid the first time. today my therapist & I started writing a trauma narrative to help me process the past 6 years. it's been a big week.

March is Long Covid awareness month, and one thing you should probably be aware of is no matter how back to normal you are, you are at risk of complications from Covid, including LC. And those excess death numbers aren’t great either.

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

which episode of The Office is more painful: Diversity Day (1x02) or Gay Witch Hunt (3x01)?

my 4 yr old niece and I drew some flowers today! she is the cutest little artist and I'm really loving our art time as she's gotten more into it and I get to teach her things 🥰

7 hours later and I'm still thinking about how I almost got 9/11ed by a duck at disneyland today next to the matterhorn here is the audio message I sent to my sister about it bc it was so insane I'm still in shock. everyone stared and gasped 😂

spending a saturday night listening to hilary duff and finding a dermatologist and washing my sheets isn't really what I imagined life at 35 to be but I'm not mad about the hilary duff part

6 years into the pandemic next month and I'm really really tired of always having to be the one to explain long covid and covid transmission and science to people, including doctors and medical professionals. I'm tired of reliving my ongoing trauma just to get care.

they just gotta take your weight at the doctor's office while you're wearing thick rubber rain boots that honestly probably weigh like 2 pounds 🙄

this comment on a reel about why it's better to be single on valentine's day is sending me so bad 😂

I've been seeing a lot of extremely disturbing antisemitism posts (on twitter) in regards to the files. sometimes it's clear they're bots but other times I'm legitimately concerned what people are taking away from these files...

you know what movie is always perfect but especially slaps in these times? Robin Hood (1973 animated). whewwww a timeless tale of anti fascism with a dreamboat anthropomorphic fox

look at my cute little magnetic bee needle minder 🐝 🥰

it’s crazy how the super bowl combines 4 of my least favorite things (football, commercials, background noise, and foods I don’t like or can’t eat) and then puts one of my favorite things (live music) right in the middle of it

I’m watching Little Women and in my mind Timothy Chalamet is so Laurie that every time I’ve see him with Kylie Jenner I feel like he’s a time traveler from the 1800s

lisa kudrow, you are so beloved by me www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryTf...

scared I’m fighting something bc my throat feels so bad. trying to rest as much as possible but it’s hard not to panic when I already struggle so much with my chronic illnesses 😩

the couple in front of me in line at disneyland are both reading their kindles. goals. make this the new “couples in line at a theme park” norm lol

my mom is talking about cyber trucks and she doesn’t know what they’re called. she called them “those things that look like tanks.” and then she goes “I saw a pink one the other day. as if anything can make them look better.”

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

I’m really glad I was so principled at 18 when I learned politics that I basically made sure I was never close friends with conservatives. I knew I couldn’t avoid them so I was cordial but I made sure to know where they stood before fully trusting them. that has saved me some broken friendships.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

I’m so so so tired of my physical and mental health being a literal full time job. I’ve always had issues I was already tired of dealing with and then long covid ramped them up so aggressively and gave me new ones that now it’s all been unbearable for almost 6 yrs

nothing says christmas in america like an inflatable light up nativity scene on a front lawn in the suburbs

me/cfs is so evil and I say this as someone who fluctuates between mild and moderate. most people aren’t even aware of the horrors of any of it, let alone of severe.

I took a look at my to do list and my brain immediately shut down. it’s been a hard year physically and mentally and spiritually, especially this week. gonna take all my focus and energy today just to do laundry. def need to do something grounding and calming today after that.

genuinely Charlie Brown Christmas might be the funniest show ever made. 25 min straight of the best underrated quotes. I laugh so hard every time.

you’ll be fighting for your life to simply manage your chronic illness symptoms and try new treatments for them and then here come more out of range bloodwork numbers

I came across this at the library & just finished. I learned so much & the illustrations are beautiful! highly recommend for some easily digestible native history & context, especially with Thanksgiving this week. good for middle grade kids and teens too! I found it in that section.

we’re getting so much rain here in socal that for the first time ever part of our house just flooded. my dad and I spent over an hour trying to sop up the water from the brand new carpet with every spare towel in the house and it barely made a dent. now it’s 2am and it’s still raining hard 😩

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
