Coco reminds you to keep in touch with your people.

Furiously angry at the two-tier healthcare system compounding with the pink tax: a shocking number of subscription-based perimenopause healthcare providers are popping up. $2000/y for “personalized” hormone health care? Get fucked, this is Canada, that should be illegal.

I'm in contact directly with Zara. She's still trying to find a safe place to stay in Vancouver. I know spare rooms aren't exactly a thing these days but please share in case you know someone... gogetfunding.com/help-zara-re...

I suddenly have a day free and am I gonna embroider and watch TV? Go for a moody fall walk? Maybe a bit of both? I love unexpected unstructured time.

The other day I found myself saying 'the economy should serve US, we should not be serving the economy'. #Socialism

Hey folks! I have Long COVID and I've found it more disabling than bipolar disorder, endometriosis and Ehlers Danlos syndrome... Combined. Do what you can to avoid reinfections!

I have been lusting for fall for at least a month and a couple days in joggers? And sweaters? And my long leather coat? Hat? Drinking tea? Yesssss. It's been interesting to feel spiritually unconnected to my faith but somatically LOCKED IN.

I'm in the local mountain resort town with my in laws. Today we went to the thrift store and I found a dark green sweater and a silk duvet for $20 total, winning the thrift store. @soberqueerdo.bsky.social found a large pasta pot with strainer and lid and a book on Policing Black Lives.

My citizenship application has arrived in it's destination. I'm feeling nervcited. But honestly I'm not wanting to relocate. It's just a safety net. Still kinda gobsmacked tho. It'll take about 8 weeks to process. Did I mention I also had to send them my fricking passport & birth certificate?

Is my concrete building releasing heat in the evening or am I having hot flashes again: a menopausal mystery. Filed next to: Is it one of my chronic illness or is it menopause? I'm very over living in a medical mystery, aka my body.

I'm cleaning my scooter in between reading the #TruthAndReconciliation calls for action and resting. ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/u...

Anyone around Vancouver BC able to house Zara when she arrives mid-month? She's working on her asylum claim and needs support! @rachelgilmore.bsky.social @jmcelroy.bsky.social @razorfemme.bsky.social @elainemiller.bsky.social @floralashes.bsky.social @harshawalia.bsky.social @avilewis.ca

Me: I should get up and make breakfast Coco:

It's the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in "Canada." 🧵 If you are unfamiliar with the Calls to Action from the commission, a short pdf is at the bottom of the page here: nctr.ca/publications... If you'd like to donate some of your stat pay to assist efforts across Canada: payyourrent.ca

Fall's atmospheric rivers has me wondering how much CBD I can consume before I'm unsuitable to be around my in-laws this week.

It's really surprising how much dyeing my hair lifts my desire to be perceived.

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

You know you're low spoons when you're resting on the couch and convincing yourself you can take a seated shower in the next 4 hours then leave the house.

A lot of my recent adornment, hobby and household purchases feel like eager love letters to my younger selves, whom I still carry within me. Today I got new peircings: an iridescent star in my left ear and an iridescent moon in my right.

There's so many things we could defund instead.

Anyone local interested in doing one of these workshops together? troutlakecc.com/event/cedar-...

Hoping my migraine subsides enough so I can drown myself in the new Florence + The Machine. (I can listen to music but it's gotta be familiar.) (Yes when you get 3 day migraines you learn to just turn lights off and function as best you can.) (Yes my GP knows but the meds don't always work.)

Today is apparently suicide prevention day and I want to remind people: UBI is suicide prevention. Universal health care is suicide prevention. Mental health care is suicide prevention. Patient advocacy and adequate disability resources are suicide prevention. Gun control is suicide prevention.

Zara needs our help to find housing and get support while she pursues an asylum claim. This claim would also extraordinary a precedent, allowing other trans Americans to claim asylum.

Sometimes the last peach of the season and plain yogurt just hits the spot.

Me: I'm so excited for autumn Barometric pressure: drops rapidly If you need me, I'll be in a dark quiet room. (Don't need me)

Yesterday I put my application for Citizenship by Descent for the country my father was born in. It just feels like a good moment in history to have another passport, should the worst come to pass. Also this will help me protect my trans spouse.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Zara @septembersister.bsky.social is currently staying in a shelter while she pursues staying in Canada under Humanitarian & Compassionate grounds. Let's help a Black trans woman out!

i found the cure for autism it's called minding your fucking business

Daily Coco when I'm done my Monday morning and he knows some quality couch time has started

There's nothing like the simple joy of creating deliberately bad art.

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

"Protect Trans Youth, Defeat Fascism Everywhere" Sticker seen in Vancouver, Canada

"Hot Girls Hate Fascists" Sticker spotted in Seattle

"Hot Girls Say Fuck Fascism" Seen in Denver, Colorado

Happy 6 months of Coco! It's exactly half a year since we got him. We've learned a lot, made some mistakes, and are living having our little guy around.

The weather is turning (finally! I've been craving sweaters and hot beverages for weeks) and with it my chronic pain is slowly increasing. Any good streets or areas for leaf admiring?

Colonialism is wild. Here you are looking at nostalgic Halloween stuff and you realize how messed up it is that mummies are in there.

Right now I'm trying to do at least a bit of creative practice a day, even if it's just tidying some supplies. I painted this for a friend's birthday today. (Can't attend because I'm either having a flare or a cold.)

The thing about adopting a senior rescue (especially after having put a pet down in the past) is that I know our time together is limited. Yes, it might be 5-9 years. Or it could be less. I'm telling myself this as my plans for the day are stalled because he's sleeping on my foot.

I've had 2 nosebleeds in 2 days and wow is that a level of body horror I did NOT miss.

I slept in half an hour and Coco was asking Kathleen for me. So she woke me up and I got face licking and many snuggles.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Today has definitely been a day where I need little treats because I needed to go get bloodwork done AND talk to my LTD rep AND then calm myself down because basically my insurance is trying to figure out if I can work another job within the next year.
