I will be in Michigan at my grandpa's memorial service for the neighborhood protest next Tuesday. Gives me another week to make a No Kings poster!

I need 10 testimonials for my dsp 1 certification through work. As of today I have two approved and another three submitted. Wish me luck!

Apparently this protest in my neighborhood is a weekly Tuesday thing! I work early next week but the following week (October 7th) I will be there.

Therapy is WORK y'all. EMDR is exhausting. I went to bed at 930 last night and barely woke up at 930 for work. Worth it though.

Yay protestors yay! Saw a small protest on a street corner in my neighborhood on my way into work. They had Workers over Billionaires signs and were very enthusiastic!

On October 18, we rise with a simple message: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. This country does not belong to kings or dictators. It belongs to us.

EMDR therapy gave me my life back. I made it through the 20 year Katrina anniversary yesterday with nothing more than one hurricane drink because it sounded tasty. No drinking to forget, no mental breakdowns. Yay!

Personally I love it when I have to look up the definitions to words every page when I'm reading. Unfamiliar words in audiobooks are annoying though. Thoughts? 📚 💙

What's this I'm hearing about protests on Labor Day? I think I might have to extend my vacation by a day to join in!

Still alive over here, rocking the pink hair and waiting for fall so I can wear my polar fleece rainbows. Reading up a storm so I've had less time for keeping up with the news. Current reads are Perdido Street Station and An African History of Africa.

Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in Baltimore Friday August 8th. We'll be hanging drywall in the high summer heat, can't wait! Have to bring my own lunch this time though.

You're seeing this because this feed runs on @graze.social, where we believe social media can still do good. NPR/PBS just lost $1.1B - let's prove it together and raise money for a worthy cause. #promoted

Volunteering at Carroll County's Westminster Pride Festival Saturday 7/26! I'll be working at the NAMI Metro Baltimore table from 11 to 2, promoting mental health resources. Unfortunately it will probably be too warm to wear my rainbow jacket and leg warmers.

Support WWOZ! Possibly the coolest public radio station ever, and I don't just say that because it's New Orleans music (maybe). My online station of choice for cooking traditional red beans on Monday nights and just about everything else. Www.wwoz.org.

Anyone know anything about The Night Ends With Fire by K.X. Song? Just picked it out as my free book for summer reading at the local library. 📚 💙

It is about 200 percent of my best 5k time of 24:28 but I'm still proud of myself. 56:12 at the Women's Distance Festival 5k this morning!

This is your reminder to STOP and take a moment to remember what brings you joy. My joy today came in the form of my Arc person taking the lead and telling the waitress I wanted ice cream. Which I did. Chocolate chip cookie dough was delicious.

I wore my new Good Trouble t shirt for the 4th yesterday as there is not much freedom left to celebrate. Remember where we come from! We are a nation founded by revolutionaries. Skipped the fireworks too.

This is how you know when people have never left the US. They are clueless to how the rest of the world lives.

Live in these districts? Time to let your neighbors know what their representatives are up to. Ripping healthcare away from millions, cutting cancer research, setting up concentration camps, while shoveling billions to their friends in tax cuts. All of them need to be voted out. Get to work.

Can't wait til July 5th to get my next two credits on libro! Going to listen to Bootstrapped and Johnthan Strange and Mr Norrell. Yes I already have them spent. Yes I know there are much bigger things going on in the world. For the sake of my anxiety I am going to focus on my reading list for now.

Also the number of hearts on my pinned post almost reaches the heat index last week and that makes me happy.

I am at the stage of anxiety where setting foot in the wrong store leads to a borderline panic attack that takes me hours to calm down from. Thank you brain for the warning but I live in Baltimore now not New Orleans and we do not get major hurricanes here.

As awful as things are right now, I think it's important to understand that there are more decent ppl than there are awful ppl. Don't let the awful ppl out of your sight don't stop calling them out but mostly don't let them think there's more of them than decent ppl.

For any of you wondering I do not go into Walmart intentionally. I HATE it so much. I hate their politics and even just thinking about going there gives me tremendous anxiety. But I am a direct support professional and I kinda have to go where my clients want. Person centered and all that.
