Truly and honestly, I'm not upset if politics skip a generation and Milennials aren't the next wave. All of us are legitimately traumatized and overwhelmed. Let the kids step up and speak out. So long as you consider us and treat us well (along with everyone else), you've got my vote.

I'm ridiculously proud of the Boo Box I put together for Capybara. He was there for part of the process, but since he hates surprises, it was totally ok. I did sneak in a few thoughtful things I think he'll love, too. It was hard to get used to not doing surprises, but we figured it out together ❤️

Costco outside of the USA needs to share the wealth because they seem to be getting all the coolest shit.

Vaccines/medications are proven to not cause autism. Increase in diagnosis is from more comprehensive research, study, and diagnostics. It's the same with ADHD. The conspiracy is the covering up that neurodivergence is natural and needs better care and understanding. Different doesn't mean wrong.

Did I postpone getting my nails done because I already have 2 big things to do tomorrow, and I needed a reward after I got through waiting room anxiety and doing the things? Yes. Yes, I did.

Got another future feature in the mail and y'all... velvet lined #darkromance covers. I'm not a huge DR girl (I have strong opinions), but these books are luxe. I knew I had to give them a shot. Plus, they're retellings of my favorite myth and fairytale. I couldn't resist!

As someone who loves books and can get lost in a walk-in closet? I feel seen.

Want some simple ways to resist fascism? Wear a mask. Donate to mutual aid. Go to a local library. Support community fridges and food banks. Plant a garden. Deliver groceries. Provide a ride to and from doctors appts. Participate in neighbourhood ICE watch. Show up for others.

Normalise telling your friends they look good. Not everything is because you're trying to bonk 🫶🏻🙌🏻

Been talking to people quite a bit about how it's easy to understand "cancel Disney+!" but harder to understand the initial and bigger problem is with Nexstar and Sinclair, so lemme make it easier. Find your local Nexstar channel Find your local Sinclair channel

Spent today out bargain shopping as I assemble a Boo Box for Capybara to show how much I love and appreciate him. We hit up a Dollar Tree and Five Below and his Boo Box runneth over.

You know the world has changed on an everyday level when you keep watch of the groundskeepers at your apartment complex, learning enough Spanish to scream out warnings about masked human traffickers employed by your government.

This is an absolute wringer on an arc in #OnePiece, but this moment almost made all the suffering worth it.

Took a #needlepoint class at the local stitchery, and I'm definitely not the best at it. I think I want to master my favorite stitches before I try and tackle designs. I'm ordering blank canvas to practice on. So far, my favorite stich is basketweave.

Made a couple small donations today in honor of my mom. She was the safe house for the abused, outcast, and at risk. I can't tell you how many people were welcomed by her at the worst times in their lives and helped back on their feet. I'm who I am because of her love and lessons.

What on earth could have me abandoning my usual Spooky Season reading horrorthon to instead read cozy translated SE Asian fiction anthologies? Whatever could it be, I wonder? (/sarcasm)

As a reminder, this is great, but withholding spending without saying *why* is less effective than a short email to customer service. If you’re cutting your Disney spending plans, take a minute to tell them why, otherwise they might think it’s bc they haven’t had Mickey take a knee for Kirk.

Period or menstrual equity is the idea that everyone should have access to menstrual products, education, and safe facilities for managing menstruation. Use the wishlist link in our bio to fight back against menstrual inequity.  https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2I29C6QK4CQ59?ref_=wl_share

So, the goal is to save up enough for a manicure with press on nails because ya gurl is not an esthetician, and my hands look like a war zone. I've got pretty much everything else arranged, including one of the most Sunnycore things to exist that will be my first unboxing:

People who think "I want to eat a certain thing" and then just get up and make the thing might as well admit they have some kind of superpower that the rest of us don't... especially my #spoonie ass.

I grew up with a snoring person. My mom snored so loudly it rattled windows. I learned to use her sawing logs as ambient noise to sleep to. Now I struggle to sleep unless there's some kind of sleepy sounds going, but the best is my cat's very loud snores (or Capybara's).

It's getting to the point where I have to make unboxing videos because my tiny apartment doesn't have enough space for what I've got piling up and waiting to be opened. Necessity over anxiety, I guess...

I love the #romance trope of "grumpy man meets sunshine woman who is immune to his bullshit and the only way to cope is to catch feels and marry her." It's just so good. Hits every time. Make that jerk YEARN for her and make it awkward AF.

“One thing is for certain: The old school, traditional media outlets cannot and will not stick their necks out to protect the people of this country when their bottom line is what matters most.” (The whole article is worth reading, and then contemplating where you will get your news going forward.)

Reminder: Antifa is short for anti-fascist. The goal is to stop fascism from spreading. It is to prevent fascism from taking over. That's it. At this point, just say the whole damn name.

Maybe who you were conditioned to believe you "should" be bears no meaningful resemblance to who you are actually supposed to become. That happens a lot, especially to trauma survivors-- we're programmed to believe we "should" be someone completely irrelevant to our actual soul.

Do you think of marginalized communities as part of yours or just a cause? You can exist outside of a community as an individual but still care deeply and personally for the members of it. Allies need to understand boundaries aren't borders. You don't need to be part of something to care.

Costco has a cast iron cauldron and I'm trying SO HARD to be good (we don't have room!) but its so #witchy and my style.

In fun news, I've been introduced to the narrative wonder of #L5R, and I'm having a wonderful time. I almost feel like the 2 characters I have should swap campaigns, though. The chaos goblin is in the political drama, and the big sister is in the supernatural mystery.

The only cancer on society, aside from the actual illness, are politicians and billionaires that would use a disenfranchised community as their scapegoat for the cruel and corrupt acts they are actively perpetuating. Trans people didn't fire cancer researchers.

I just naturally seem to gravitate toward a more political feed because I have a strong sense of justice and a desperate need to feel like I'm doing good in the world. Even after I clean up my follows and likes, it's more news than fun.

Idea for a Neurodivergent Network where we all exchange tasks for each other. I can't bread chicken, but I can make phone calls for other people. I can't drive but I'm great at shopping and finding bargains. Let's do trades of tasks and build community.

Hey, I'm still pushing for my goal of making unboxing and promotional videos, so I made a Tiktok account. I haven't posted anything yet, but if you want to follow me for future goodness: www.tiktok.com/@ferretofthe...

I'm exhausted and feel like I haven't had a chance to replenish my spoons. The overwhelm is so strong that when I sheepishly asked for pizza for dinner and my partner was enthusiastically on board, I cried.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

Saying, "Yikes" when you meet someone's new baby for the first time is not a good idea. I know this now.

Thank you very much for the correction, and again, I deeply apologize to everyone for posting incorrect information without doing my research in the heat of the moment.

Two young men were found hanged in Mississipi on Monday September 15th. ) Demartravion "Trey" Reed, 21 yr old black man found at 7am in Cleveland, MS. 2) Cory Zukatis, a 35 yr old homeless white man from Brandon, MS. found in Vicksburg.

I was incorrect in a previous statement regarding the 2 deaths in Mississippi on Monday. It was on me to do better research, and I apologize for not being better but committed to improving. I'm sorry.

I know my posts have been more political than positive, but that's because now is a time we must speak out, and I will not live in guilt and grief for being silent when I need to scream. This is our time to rise up and fight back in what ways we can. It's not fun, but it must be done.

made a thing we should all agree on

If you spend your life spreading illness, then you should be spoken ill of in your death. I don't condone his murder, but I do stand by telling the truth about who he was.

This weekend, I've carved out time for a #OnePiece marathon of the Kuma backstory episodes, and from what I've heard, it's gonna be ROUGH. I can't wait for this brilliant franchise to make me heavy sob again.

There has to be some cosmic bullshit going down because I've been therapist friend in 3 different instances today with 3 different friends.

For my Tiktok folks, there's a tech spell where you type in "book" in your search bar, and it guides you to info you need. I tried it, and it was a direct hit.

Gonna get high and eat Wendy's. Self care.
