I feel this 🌼

There is a young woman on the bus with very obvious hickies and all I can say is GET IT

I left over a decade ago and I find myself feeling simultaneously more American and less American as each year passes. But I have always felt Californian first. I think it's obvious why.

I have a card of this art from a dear friend who passed over a decade ago. Seeing this made me emotional. RIP Stanley and his Smiley Dog. Angels on Earth.

There are a few folks on here I connect with pretty regularly, and when I don't see their posts for a few days I get sad. Like WHERE is my FRIEND?!

homophobic men bedazzling clothes don’t sit right with me. I feel like gatekeeping

So I've got fibromyalgia and the heat, especially post hysto absolutely destroys me. I am indoors, aircon on constantly, hiding in the dark due to overstimulation from the sun and heat here in Greece. These are days of kindness and self nurturing. 1/3 #folkwitchfriday #witchskh #occultsky #folksky

Really proud of this essay. Took months and it feels like my first big and serious work. There is a resources section if you want to learn more about Greek history. Would really love to hear people's thoughts. #writesky #hellenic #heritage #greekhistory theliminalcompass.substack.com/p/diaspora-g...

Excited to see responses tomorrow!

Everybody poops! So let's learn about it!

Gazelli news everybody! (Professor Farnsworth voice) She's gotten a shot of antibiotics and has eaten more in one sitting than she has in almost a week! We'll get her further checks in a few weeks once the acute phase and the horner's syndrome passes. Cat tax foto of my third eyelid blind gal and me

Gazelli is back at the vet's today. Another day of anesthesia and checks. We think it's her inner ear. Wish her luck!

I have never been so happy to not live in the states as I do this year. There is something devilish brewing for some time. As the fourth approaches, I wish everyone safety and strength. Don't let them get you down. Don't let them bait you.

July is Disability Pride Month y'all. #disability #disabilitypridemonth #disabilitypride #disabilitysky 🧵 1/6

Today is July 1st. In Greece is it traditional to wish people a good month. We say Kalo Mina. So a good month to you all chat!

Can someone tell me why the Kids Incorporated theme just popped into my head?

It's not even 1 in the afternoon and I've been working for 8 hours. Doing socials content for my latest article. Will this make me any money? probably not. What is up with this hussle y'all?

No I do not want to wake up at 4am everyday. Stupid summer.

"Our ancient past was dressed up in a frilly dress and called Western. Meanwhile the modern Greek still stands as a background character in a holiday maker’s selfie, visible but not centered; just out of reach." Read the whole essay, out now. link in thread #hellenic #greek #diaspora #reclamation

I don't think that most myths are literally "true," but I think the gnosis that we glean from experiencing the myths is

My heart is heavy from the bad rulings today. They have no intention of stopping at sports. Our first-generation American neighbors aren’t out of the woods. My heart is heavy, and I have learned that heaviness simply creates more fuel to fight. I don’t detail or talk much about what I do here. 1/

Finally realised why I don't like voice notes. People do them because they find typing tedious -- it takes too long. But because speaking is easier, they say FAR more than they need to, meaning recipient has to listen for ages, mostly to waffle. It's shifting the extra effort onto the receiver.

Finished "Daisy" today 🖤🌿

I got a message asking if I wanted to collaborate with someone, then got forwarded a link to a course.

What's it like in your head?

Tomorrow I'm releasing the final in my Diapaora Grief series: the Hellenic Double Standard. It has a historical section and an academic works cited for anyone who wants to understand the historical and sociocultural components of Greek erasure from our own history #hellenic #decolonial #greece

Thank you to Thomas for sharing this. Will listen this week, sharing for anyone else interested in sociocultural realities and govt & econ policies in Greece causing such brain drain and economic difficulty for us here.

It's so depressing. The Greek diaspora community is so large and has been for decades because we can't afford to live in our own country. The cost of living is too high and I am leaving again. I'm glad people like Greece as a holiday destination but we need economic growth that helps normal Greeks

Been in Greece for 6 yrs. Grateful for my time here but wish ppl understood it's basically impossible to afford the cost of living on a normal Greek salary. Tired of the influencer content about how CHEAP Greece is when the digital nomads and tourism industry are what make the country unaffordable.

Y'all kitty is still struggling 😔 looks like she's gonna need to go in again for more tests and probably get put on antibiotics for an infection in the midst of her switching between steroid meds. All the good wishes welcomed yet again.

Yes

I like when someone says “no worries” immediately after introducing several new worries

Also the cats.

Last year I was chatting to a driver and he said to me: everyday we show up to work with the hope that the entire depot will have burned down, and everyday we are disappointed. And they say Greek philosophers are dead. 💀

Bus comes. Bus doesn't run when it's meant to. Drivers also don't know what's going on. I've been here three years but the whole thing will remain forever an incomprehensible and poorly planned mystery
