Probably the most severe reaction to a vaccine I’ve had. The lymph nodes in my armpit on vaccination side are swollen and painful, deltoid hurts like the dickens, inflammation so bad my joints hurt (left thumb is killer), and some breathing tightness.

Paper's out!

On the flip side, I also extremely dislike joking about your partner/partners as though you actually dislike them or view relationships as a prison. I want to celebrate the people I am with and cherish them…even if it is privately and not super visible on social media.

I do talk about T sometimes, but always by an initial and never give specifics, photos, etc. solely for his privacy. I am not a public figure, but the internet can be weird enough even for me! He prefers to keep his presence online extremely minimal, and I respect that.

Gorgeous!

Well this is a new tomfoolery

I have always pronounced Calibre the software as in mental capacity/degree of excellence (or, I suppose, the diameter of the bore of a firearm). Someone just corrected me and said it is cal-libre, as in book. I am now questioning everything.

Ocular migraines blow because they don't always lead to regular migraines/pain, but I also feel like my brain was sapped of all go-juice and my head weighs five bajillion pounds. Can't really focus, so I am scrolling endlessly.

We're hosting "Writing and Resistance" a workshop and conversation with KIESE LAYMON, ROBERT JONES, JR. and DEESHA PHILYAW on Dec. 14! All proceeds will go to the Sameer Project. Join us! Register: www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/wri...

I also have room in my heart to hate both ICE and CBP. I believe in my compatriots' ability to do the same. 😌 (I am being a tad bit glib here, but I also want to say that I firmly agree that specificity does actually matter).

An older medic with scant resources fights to support her community as they survive life behind the company wall. This novelette is my only near future sf story, inspired by a long-ago convo with my dad & by the activists who never give up. Free to read at reactormag.com/barnacle-kat...

Immediately picked this up www.stelliform.press/index.php/pr...

I want it.

I know what it's like to feel alone, to have to beg and cower to get SNAP, to live in fear of violating the byzantine SSI regs. I want you to know there are a lot of people fighting for you right now. I'm just 1 of many, many people in this town who recognize this as the life + death crisis it is

Vaccines go in arm, immediate optical migraine shimmers. Now I must be horizontal.

New lens day redux

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Today, I get more vaccines as a little treat. 😌

Alongside these selections, I also recommend reading Wild Faith: How the Christian Right is Taking over America by Tal Lavin and Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean.

The real mvp is methylphenidate, which promptly put me back to sleep for two hours after taking it so I got a usable amount of sleep. 🤝

Look, I am extremely earnest and enthusiastic. If that makes me cringe, so be it.

One week to go!!!

Hey, friends in Ireland! Heads up. 💜

This is truly amazing. And maybe my first experience with ASMR where I was like, "wow, yes. That is the good shit."

Post up, Idaho. We gotta make a LOT of calls. 💜

What does this mean? USDA is not going to move approximately $4 billion additional dollars to states tonight in order to fully fund November SNAP benefits; The 1st Circuit is going to issue a ruling (essentially upholding or overturning the RI court's order) at some time in the near future;

Just finished Ludwig, and it was quite a fun little romp with a silly yet delightful premise (a bit of a twist on your usual police procedural). Looking forward to series 2.

Look at them! The Megaloceros in particular took my breath away. They are all just beautifully rendered. I can't wait to plan themed snacks and have a little watch party, especially with my niece. It is so fun to share these programs with her!

Robin Wong on YouTube has an energy that just immediately makes me happy. I want to be that happy about cameras all of the time.

Grief is such a horrible brain zapper. Everything is so much slower. I am also just incredibly bad at adjusting my expectations of myself—output should be the same no matter what! It is not a good way to be, so if you also do that, stop it right now! XD

If you have a costco membership, PediaSure and diapers are on sale right now. Might be a good thing to grab and hand to your nearest food bank/etc if you want something quick & easy. 💓

Just commenting to make sure people know this is a thread. It’s important to read it through.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I quite enjoyed a lot of the takedowns of Bill Gates' EA brain snap on climate. It is really deadassed in a number of ways. But no-one mentioned the most important thing. He isn't *just* full of shit. He knows he is full of shit. I can prove it: timinclimate.medium.com/even-bill-ga...

Snapped this photo of the brightest colored rainbow trout I have ever seen. All of the rest of them in the area were their normal muddy green with a gold sheen and the typical bands of color, but this one was SO YELLOW. Such a lovely fish.

I got an art in the mail and now I have three arts to frame and hang up. I am withholding taking photographs until they are framed because a "final reveal" is just in my nature. But for this piece or original work, I am going to make a custom frame and paint it bright green. So excited. :3

Friends! We have just 1 WEEK to go on the WITCHING SEASON Kickstarter and we are 3/4s of the way there, so we need your help! Come and back our book now so you don't end up having to covet the coven comic! www.kickstarter.com/projects/phi...

Offer still stands! 🐿️ 🐿️ 🐿️
