Reminder that poverty isn't the fault of poor people. Poor people are some of the hardest working people in this country. Poverty is a direct result of the ultra wealthy hoarding wealth and exploiting people for labor.

Going trick or treating with the reaper.

Shout out to past me who apparently knows how to adult. I had a mini freak out today because I was $200 short on the rent. Turns out, past me already paid $300 on the rent last paycheck. Good job past me!!

Good morning! Just a reminder that children deserve to eat regardless of the way their parents voted.

Happy Wednesday besties. We've made it to the halfway point. Keep doing your best, even if your best is just barely hanging on right now.

It's almost pew pew time babes! Come hang out and watch me play Borderlands 4. I'm starting in about 5 minutes. twitch.tv/messyredstudios #twitchstreamer #borderlands4 #twitch #fuckery

What's that? SNAP benefits will be ending? Sounds like it's almost time to eat the rich. 🍴

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

My hair, actually being in the middle where I'm trying to train it to be. 🩷

Sleep? Wtf is that all about?

Halloween hair just dropped!

Welp, I didn't finish Ghostwire: Tokyo last week, but I will finish it tonight!! Come hang out! I'll be live in about 10 minutes. twitch.tv/messyredstudios

So, the doctor called out sick today. I figured it would be a great day to get caught up on paperwork. Our EMR apparently had other plans. It doesn't want to load charts or sometimes just not let me log in. According to their outage outage though, it's just "slow".

I have to go to laundry and I don't wanna. *sigh*

"if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors." @thunberggreta.bsky.social @swedenun.bsky.social @swedenineu.bsky.social www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Important reminder that while LGBTQIA+ people can climb back into a closet and many people can mask their neurodivergence when they feel unsafe, BIPOC cannot change their skin.

For anyone who thought I was an alarmist at the beginning of the year when I said Trump will find any way to ensure we don't have midterm elections, do you still think I'm an alarmist? Or do you think this government shutdown is truly about Healthcare and stubbornness?

New from me: The notion that Charlie Kirk represented speech “done right” is a smokescreen manufactured specifically to distract from the single greatest attack on free speech in the 21st century. Kirk wasn’t simply offering an opinion, he was right-wing power personified.

Will I finish Ghostwire: Tokyo tonight? Come hang out if you wanna know!! www.twitch.tv/messyredstudios

I stg, my tongue should be bleeding with how much I've already had to bite it today at work. And I'm only 2 hours in.

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

Come chill with me while I finish up the side quests in Ghostwire: Tokyo! www.twitch.tv/messyredstud...

It's an Aquabats kind of today. Jamming out to Pizza Day rn.

Something I've definitely gotten better at since joining this app is alt text/ image descriptions. Ngl, they used to intimidate me. I worried that I wasn't describing the image properly or well enough. Or that I was describing it too well.

Today is gonna be rough. I barely slept. My sleep score was 50. Even with my insomnia I'm usually over 65. Oof.

Apparently I didn't eat enough today because I'm starving and it's not even 6pm. I'm usually not even hungry until at least 6:30. But, I'm still trying to decompress from work. Rude.

Welcome to capitalism where we have a patient who went back to work with a chemo pump on because their FMLA ran out. I offered to do the paperwork for an extension since cancer qualifies, but they declined my offer as an extension doesn't mean a paycheck.

Good morning, babes!! Hope everyone has a decent day.

Made with love, intention, and a little bit of magic 🧹💫 may they bring peace, protection, and positive energy into your space.

One of the best vacations I've ever had was to Chicago. I even thought about moving there. It was a fleeting thought, but I did decide, if I ever left Florida I'd want to go to Chicago.

So everyone on the right so upset about the political violence of Charlie Kirk’s murder (even before we knew the facts) is going to speak out loudly and clearly about this too, right?

Hooray! Insomnia strikes again! Nothing like still being awake 1 1/2 hours before your first alarm goes off. Fun times.

I'm exhausted and wide awake at the same time. I just want to sleep! Fucking insomnia is being rude.

7️⃣🌟

Halloween market, babes!!

I really have to finish the jewelry I need to make for my Market tonight. Nothing like last minute crafting. I only have a few hours before I need to pack up and head out, and I still haven't eaten. Lol welcome to my life. Just call me Last Minute Lucy I guess.

You weren’t “low-maintenance”. You were starving yourself of care. You weren’t “resilient”. You were burned out. You weren’t “bad at intimacy”. You were forced to perform it. They thought you didn’t want connection. But you needed it more than anyone. That’s autism.

Focusing on side quests tonight. Cone hang out while I play Ghostwire: Tokyo. www.twitch.tv/messyredstud...

Yo!! It's time for ESO!! www.twitch.tv/messyredstud...

I have a pimple in my ear and it's driving my bananas. Decided to take some Tylenol to reduce the swelling a bit cause it hurts. I tell my coworker, ope my ear hurts gotta take my 'tism pills. She looks at me, deadass, and says, you have enough 'tism, you don't need more. She's not wrong. 🤣🤣

Ridiculous bed head this morning.

They say people fear what they don’t understand, and I feel like that’s especially true when it comes to chronic illness and disability. People understand acute illness. They understand terminal illness. They can’t fathom being sick “forever”. So they turn away from us 🧵

It's go time babes!!

Borderlands 4 in just over an hour! Come hang out with me. I'm starting at 8pm EDT. See you there! www.twitch.tv/messystudios

I hope my Portland friends are doing ok in the *checks notes* wait, what? War zone? That can't be right.

Me: I just want to meet someone organically Also me: eww you want me to leave my house for something other than work? 🤷‍♀️

"There is no ethical consumption under Capitalism" is meant to explain things like why you shouldn't get mad at poor people for shopping at the only place they can afford. It's not meant for you to feel guilt free for consuming bigoted wizard books written by the TERF lady.

So exhausting..
