Hello again. We didn't make November's goal, so I'm afraid I still need the same goal in December. Heating fuel, bills, feed, and groceries, still. I'm sorry I have to ask. Still an immediate $500 goal, and $2000 for the month. Apologies. Venmo, cashapp, Paypal: BurdockAndBramble

It just hit me: my adoptive father is upset with me and my life bc he expected a ROI . I expect you to be astounding but I also donāt think youāll amount to much. Now that I am living for myself and what I want, I can more easily separate the impossible but very felt expectations others had on me.

At a gig and this goodlife fitness attached to a superstore is completely empty - apparently there is a BUNCH like this in the GTA - seems to me these spaces could house people or be of some use to the community - theres showers and everything .

If Iām understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The most enjoyable performers / speakers/ comics/ actors in whatever creative medium have Stage presence. You can be up there and do all the right things and make all the right moves but without that je ne sais quoi bit itāsā¦. Dull. Sorry influencers.

Hey fellow
#adoptees
, my birth mother gave the name she gave me to her next daughter who she kept. Like middle name and everything. What kind of trauma reaction is that? Why do you think she would do that? Thanks for any input !

Freaking out. My dad's still in hospital after a stroke, not doing well. I feel helpless. Stress off the chart... And I STILL need to care for my cats. Currently $20/240 for the vet for my boys. Any help is pure love. Links next post.

No one will throw you under the bus harder than someone who knows they donāt have a chance of getting you in bed. Its why I quit comedy after 5 years -angry men who had no chance tried to ruin my reputation other ways . Lol.

One thing we donāt talk about enough in adoption circles is how many of us will not go for dental work, minor surgeries or gender affirming surgeries bc who wants more trauma ? As much as I want certain things I def dont want to be unconcious / under the knife voluntarily.

With a new therapist temprly and she was talking about working with nrvs systems that are functioning as if they are at say a 10 yo olds perspective bc of trauma or whatever and I was happy to give her the perspective of an adoptee- our nervous systems functioning at a new born or in utero level.

Being a comedian has always been in my wheelhouse and it has taken me a very long time to let myself believe there is space for me , a late in life non binary lesbian parent and adoptee on a stage behind a mic. But now itās time! Onward !

Maybe Im crashing out a bit here but I am SO tired of people casually fucking with me and then when they donāt get the reaction they expect I get turned into a horrible person by default. Its happened my entire life and I dont know why its still happening. You canāt know me w/o meeting me.

As an Adoptee Iāve never handled pranks, surprises, hints, secrecy, etc well⦠even if they were āgoodā . My nervous system will arm it self against any perceived attack. It does not like not knowing what is coming. Itās definitely enlightening to know about myself.

It doesnāt surprise me that personal big wins these days donāt feel as fulfilling as we expected they would. Its because as empathetic souls we know deep down that individual success in a deeply inequitable society will always ring hollow. No one is free until we are all free.
