Someone defaced some lovely encouraging murals with a couple racist remarks and slurs. Today I stopped because I’d finally had enough. I only had glasses cleaner & hand sanitizer. It isn’t perfect, but it looks a lot less like a hateful message to my Black neighbors now. I plan to go back & finish.

the barest, most minimal of starts, but I guess it's better than the nothing we've been getting so far

Like, making the world a better place for the future is a deeply held moral value for me, but also I don't spend time worried that the world will move on without me in it!

"Aren't you worried about what future generations will think about you?" Idk how much energy I can devote to that, dude, I plan to spend the vast majority of that time busy being dead.

The compliance packs are SO game changing. I have fairly serious memory issues, and take nearly a dozen different meds, and they're an absolute life saver. All you have to do is talk to your prescribing doctor and ask them to specify that your meds need to come in a compliance pack. Feel better 🧡

If you're diagnosed with ADHD, they should automatically give you any meds you take in those daily blister packs, because I took mine twice today and now I feel pretty weird.

What a fucking… soul bruising day.

I’ll either be quiet Or on here Lots.

This crushed me. Black women - you know this story - you don’t have to read on. Anyone who has loved a Black woman - anyone who loved Demeta 🔥 - knows this story well. We have to stop killing Black women through medical malpractice. My white sister had 5 kids - this wouldn’t have happened to her.

Looked at news this morning but now my guts hurt my head spikes with pains (new hurts and classics). Waking up to watch the world burn waking up to watch the body count grow watching the wrong corpses pile up stacked like cordwood.

yes

V Spehar had a thing about the history of white supremasicts and drinking cow milk as a dog whistle; Not a bad thing for info: substack.com/@vspehar/not... As a young lesbian who was lactose intolerant but STILL wouldn’t learn about MILK for years - help yourselves.

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

Felt very overwhelmed for all of today. Couldn’t sit and rest so I cleaned a bunch, made some cookies, and made mac & cheese ahead for when dinner rolls around. So that’s enough now, brain - we have prepared what we could - let a bitch off the anxiety hook now!

this kind of, idk what you call it, it's the opposite of counterprotesting, showing up to a protest or march in support of those protesting, is so wonderful. at the last trans march in sf there were people posted up in the median with signs like "bears for trans rights" and it was so encouraging

it's kind of harrowing that something I've been observing in terms of deals and publisher support is just...confirmed no, you're not imagining catalogues getting less queer

Say a lesbian recently finished (finally) the Locked Tomb series... What would you rec that lesbian reads next?

I enjoyed this article today and maybe you will too. Because you’re gay too.

Having a really lovely time hanging out with @abakern7.bsky.social and @elementalamber.bsky.social. We are watching Predator Badlands; this is my second Predator movie and it is super fun so far.

This has been the nicest day Despite Big Migraine. @elementalamber.bsky.social made chili and I’m now gonna have second dinner before bed. 🥰

liv hewson my beloved

I think it’s harmful to me to be online right now so I’m gonna stop! Friends, I love you. Please take care of yourselves.

the queer erasure of Rene Good is kind of getting to me as a lesbian family with a child who has experienced this to my face people react like it’s tragic there’s no father in the picture when I, the child’s other mother, am standing right there how talked over & ignored I get not a great feeling

This is so *very* true. Renee was a member of the LGBTQ+ family. We need to acknowledge that. She will have to live with that trauma for the rest of her life. Her family are threatening to take her son from her wife. "He has no one now" is a nasty homophobic take on the situation.

No, I love when the pharmacy lies to me twice in a week. I thought i would only have a crying meltdown ONCE over them this week. I thought that would cover it but they found a way!

I don’t like Klobuchar; I think you should treat your staff better than she does. Amy, she wasn’t LOST. She was YOUR constituent, and she was MURDERED. if you can’t even meet THAT moment - you certainly will have no business running for gov or pres. Lock In & do your current job first.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

ICE shot before, and also pretended the victim then, Marimr Martinez, was trying to kill an officer with her car. Luckily, she survived. And the narrative was a total lie. #minneapolis #icemurders #renee #martinez edition.cnn.com/2025/11/21/u...

I'm going to say the ugly thing out loud. Mass mobilization against ICE will only happen the more white people become the victim This is the moral failing of this country. It is baked into us that when it happens to brown people it's "unfortunate" and when it happens to white people, it's a outrage

She wasn’t lost. She was murdered in front of her wife (wife not mentioned here).

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

the obama admin expanded ICE, the biden admin expanded ICE. not sure just voting blue is helping

Some of them studied it solely to stop it

I’m watching white people on the clock app say we can’t organize because the country is too big. Did anyone study the civil rights movement?

Dear white people: Defeatism is bad … but ? Watch your tone when you tell people especially people of color and Black people and immigrants who have watched for MILLENNIA in the long term and our ENTIRE FUCKING lives in the short . Of whiteness resisting change

You do not need to watch the video to understand what happened here. Plenty of trustworthy people are telling us what is revealed in those videos. Witness matters, but there are many ways to witness.

I went in *knowing* what I was doing - it was not my first exposure to traumatic imagery, I had been trained previously - and it still something I'm not going to get over. so yeah: you do not have to watch the video. and you absolutely should not watch if you won't have access to help.

in 2015, For Work, I was on duty in a newsroom when two journalists were killed live on air. The shooter later posted his own video of the killings. I and other colleagues watched the videos to confirm facts for the stories. Ten years later I still sometimes wake up in a panic about it.

i have seen videos of many an awful thing For Work and yes I get the instinct to be like "I can handle this" or "this is important" or whatever but also: repeated exposure to death and tragedy is NOT GOOD FOR YOU (citations: legion)

🔥🔥🔥

Woke up hella nauseated and then threw up several times (yaaaay, migraines!) so I’m just sitting very still for now.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

"I want to play my video games" shouldn't be a statement that is contradicted by a video games publisher.

Oooh the storytelling in #GhostOfYotei is getting so fucking good.

I did apologize to my mom for being a bitch but neverrrr to the psych. Also I wasn’t a bitch to the psych (OF COURSE) I just really hate her. Trying to learn not to activate bitch mode at those near me when I’m overwhelmed and struggling is HARD. But I must. Being kind is punk, don’t forget.

This will decimate the older sibling industry

Should have been a lot less confident.

My psych lies to my face in almost every appointment we have and that, combined with the pharmacy being supposed to have my post pain procedure meds ready tonight but not - have ruined my mood. Mom drove me to the pharmacy & we had a tiff about christianity AND they didn't even fill my meds.

My to do list is long today but I think I’m confident I can do most of it.
