DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

why…are so many of the soothing jazz youtube videos…AI!!!!! 😭😭

got emotional imagining if pokemon were real and i could meet all my loved ones’ partner pokemon who would really be a reflection of them!!! and then i remembered also being obsessed with daemons in the His Dark Materials series and yeah, that checks out

sometimes i worry about not being south asian enough until i remember that everyone i cook something decent, i immediately have to fight the urge to grab random people off the street to eat with us good food should always be shared!!!

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

younger me was so right. the world really did end when Borders went bankrupt.

i’ve been very Depressed lately, so i’ve been playing pokopia, making more of an effort to reach out to friends, gardening, and cooking. which has meant less time online. which, unsurprisingly, has helped. 🤷🏻‍♀️

my anxiety about the current state of the world has gotten so bad that for the past week, i’ve had at least 3-4 nightmares about the Apocalypse 🥲

"Social media has gone from something that connected, entertained and educated to feeling like a forced chore, an indentured servitude policed by the algorithm of profit." Covers a lot of what I've been struggling with myself. Increasingly seeing a retro future www.creativeboom.com/insight/is-s...

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

Eid Mubarak (especially to my beloved queer Muslim baddies who are still out here)! 💚

imho, because algorithms reward rage and virtue signaling, the internet has become a place to find something new to be angry about every day, instead of a place to learn/see something new which is why the more i stay away, the better i generally feel!!

more bulbas 🍅🥬🧄

finally caved and got a switch 2 to play pokopia and i’m sorry to tell you it was actually 100% worth it

my therapist: so the results of your adhd test are inconclusive me: okay cool my therapist: but you said your husband and your best friend both have adhd? me: yeah my therapist: mhm i see my therapist: so have you ever heard the phrase “birds of a feather flock together”?

oh my god, i only have 4-5 chapters left to write before i’m done with this first draft!!!! and these are the chapters that made me want to write this book in the first place!!!!!

men be like “women’s clothes are too baggy now. billie eilish ruined women” no actually clothes aren’t baggy enough. put me in a literal parachute. a circus tent. better yet, build an entire house around me and call it a dress.

whyyyy are so many clothing brands only carrying clothes in shades of white, black, and grey?? where is the COLOR, the FUN PATTERNS????

pssst now’s a good time to start thinking about getting some native wildflower/milkweed seeds if you want to plant some good treats for your native pollinators this season 👀

Had an appointment with my aesthetician today. Her: Did you know that in Islam, God forgives your sins every time you experience pain? Me: Oh, wow. Really? Her: Yes. *pulls out a microneedling pen* So I’m going to hurt you real good now 🙂

been thinking about edward snowden and chelsea manning a lot lately. you know, for no particular reason.

it was 80 degrees in philly yesterday and now it’s snowing. yep yep this is totally normal!!!!

yall i put my whole authorussy in that scene and today i am EXHAUSTED??? i now have even more respect for romance authors

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran. It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades. Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties. 175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

everyone clap because i wrote my first ever 🔥romance🔥 scene finally, all those years reading Ao3 have culminated into this single glorious moment!!!!

sunny weather after a long winter reminds me why people worshipped the sun

starting a new photo series of my cat i’m calling it, “why do you sit like that”

the older i get, the more i make unnecessary sound effects while doing mundane tasks and now i understand why old men groan all the time

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

liberals calling people a “russian bot” for the most lukewarm criticisms of democrats is no different than conservatives calling someone a “communist” or “woke libt*rd” for wanting basic human rights for all. it’s just a pathetic way to shut down any real dialogue.

the thing they don’t tell you about adulthood is that it actually still freaking rocks when you win at super smash bros, just as much as it did when you were 12 (if not more)

i’m tired of this, grandpa!!!!

this country has me feeing very defeated right now. and i know, i know—community will save us, the system is working as intended, etc etc. but i grieve for all we are still losing. and i grieve that so many of us are truly helpless to do anything about it.

HALFHEART cover reveal! Years ago, the god of War took everything from aging mercenary Mordrena Halfheart—her homeland, her family, her god, even her magic. Now she’ll dig her nails and teeth into the chance at revenge, even if it kills her. Preorder: www.simonandschuster.com/books/Halfhe...

my babyyyy 😭 Pokemon has released a 30th anniversary logo for every single Pokemon. Quote with your favourite!

our new cat keeps bringing me her favorite toy while i’m working and when i’m trying to sleep, and i gotta say she’s single-pawedly keeping my mental health in check

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

i was getting deeply disturbed by the amount of people on social media who were seemingly justifying the deaths of children in the name of regime change, but now i’m suspecting most of them are actually bots which, to be fair, is also pretty disturbing.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

i got to watch a drag queen in a beedrill costume dance to cher’s “believe” but they edited to the song so it was just “do you be(e)”

the way i spiritually relate to this unibrow chicken

tonight i’m going to a Pokémon themed drag show

New babies.. #pokemon

happy pokémon day to all who celebrate!!!
