I am so stressed right now my hair is falling out again

Kol Nidre is the one thing that can get me to go to a synagogue livestream but I find political flags in the synagogue while trying to take collective ownership of the problems I contribute to Not Conducive To Feeling Sincere.

Hi, lovelies! Update! Out of work dealing with ongoing breathing difficulties & bills are about to hit. We're sitting at $150/$645. Only $495 left to go! WE ARE SO CLOSE! Plz help this disabled queer trans person keep the utilities on? 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ #MutualAid paypal.me/rookkilljoy CashApp/Vnmo: foxrook

"all my hopes have been diminished" from Blue by Leigh Nash. It's a line that shouldn't work but it's perfect.

Toad woke up. “Drat!” he said. “This house is a mess. I have so much work to do.” Frog looked through the window. “Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.” Toad pulled the covers over his head.

So appropriate that I finished this Oct 1st 🎃 This is my first colorwork and it is my new favorite (although I say that about every new thing I’ve tried with knitting😆) Shoutout to @isasaxonists.bsky.social for helping keep me sane with her special & meaningful yarn 💖 #knitsky #showmeyourknits JOY

If you, like me, are inundated with buoy electrolyte ads featuring people talking about how it helps their chronic illness I tried them and they work MUCH faster than other electrolytes I tried. The unflavored is basically undetectable, and the digestion drops cause an immediate improvement for me.

In my household, we deliberately eat a NICE meal, with food that is beautiful, because eating the bare minimum to stay functional IS my norm, and food is a place where I consistently harm myself. If I am to ever mske amends with my body, I have to commit to appreciating the good things it brings me.

Fasting when you’re not supposed to hurts hashem’s feelings!! Don’t hurt hashem’s feelings on Yom Kippur!! Hashem is very busy on Yom Kippur!!

I said goodnight about four hours ago but alas The trouble with insomnia as a stress response is that insomnia just makes the stress worse, silly brain. We're $1795 short with rent and utilities due again tomorrow. Any way you can help is deeply appreciated, whether pitching in or simply sharing 💜

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

This guy is a hero. But who the fuck called in the tip-off and how do we make sure that horrible narc is never allowed in public ever again without being pelted with rotten eggs, how do we make that cop shit unacceptable?

When your job is a cult

UM WHAT our campaign is officially a Kickstarter "Project We Love"! Now more than ever supporting queer speculative art, poetry, and stories is so important—it means a lot that our want to create space for queer artists, poets, and writers resonates so strongly! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...

I had a nightmare some guy without a pink bag on his head was claiming to be Chuck Tingle while trying to hit on me in a manner similar to my ex and let me tell you I don't believe the real Dr Tingle wouldn't own at least one hardcopy of his own books. Or that he'd be friends with my mother.

DOOooooo IT!!! We'll have new submission readers to put the grindstone and make them regret their generous natures 😘 www.heartlines-spec.com/submission-g...

Not liking me is fine, it's whatever, go about your life and I'll go about mine. It's the performative drama of hating me I cannot stand -- there is no reason to stalk my social media profile and mske up shit about me. Take that energy and send handwritten letters to your politicians protesting ICE.

People try to overcomplicate this, and I really do think it bears repeating that one of the coolest and sexiest things you can do in our little corner of the book world is just have enthusiastic and earnest opinions about books you love without expecting anything in return.

if you never encountered Run With the Hunted before this moment, now is a great time to get started!! RWTH is my female-led, cyberpunk heist novella series. It rotates through three narrators, and how cyberpunk it is depends on the narrator! authorizedmusings.blogspot.com/p/run-with-h...

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I wrote a book about a hot assassin with trauma and gender feels falling in love with the guy he’s totally serious about assassinating, and you can buy it here: sextonscottage.com/products/the...! (Good advice in the quoted thread, btw!)

confused who thought consumers would buy an arc'teryx jacket after seeing a colorful explosion on a mountain. what type of brand identity or aspirational lifestyle are you trying to convey?

WE'RE FUNDED! BASE GOAL ANNIHILATED IN FOUR!! HOURS!! We're full of SO MANY emotions. OTHERSIDE means a lot to us, and we're so grateful to everyone who wants queer stories, poems, and art to have more space to exist. Now more than ever, that matters 🪐🗡️ Now onto stretch goals?? 👀

On this most important National Coffee Day, coffee carefully.

I had a humble pie today assuming everybody over 30 who's lived in apartments has had gun violence on the lot, in their own building, happening to their neighbors. I've been physically present 4 times someone opened fire at or in my apartment building (none of those had fatalities, but still)

nothing received

Sincerely and genuinely wishing the four people I saw today doing the heroin tremors a quiet, gentle evening with no visits from the police, because it sucks, there should be a place for them to go get medical care, and it hurts my soul there's not.

Another day, another occasion to mull over Larisa Reisner bringing flowers to writers and finding Akhmatova, her partner's ex-wife, so badly off because her disabilities left her unable to cook for herself, that she came back with bread, too.

Jellybean is very ostentatiously letting us know that not having gross tuna goo at bedtime is making her sad, and she loves us anyway but is VERY disappointed by this turn of events.

I've forced myself not to read books that weren't on my previous syllabi due to paper constraints and what do you know, one of the books *I* added contains important and useful definitions in the first chapter, lmao, it's like I didn't pick it at random and know how to find useful scholarship

...oh. This paper I have been researching for two months is 8,000 words. Not the roughly 20,000 words I have been planning. It's fine. I'm fine. I'm not rocking in a corner or anything.

It's Stanislav Petrov Day, the day the world was saved by one man's decision to think and not react. I wrote him a poem.

I am late for this digital appointment because my phone got turned off by my mobile company because the app that hasn't worked for two years is required to log in and they were charging an expired credit card that finally stopped honoring old subscriptions 🫠

URGENT: Only $30 left to cover my October rent! We are SO CLOSE! Please help this disabled queer trans person stay housed! TYSM!! 💕💸 #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund #TransCrowdfund paypal.me/rookkilljoy CashApp/Venmo: foxrook

Also, noting here: there is an inaccurate comment that needs elaboration. There are not more ADHD scrips than there are people, but the number is high because an ADHD patient must have 12 prescriptions a year. Divide any press claim of millions of rxs a year by 12. We’re not allowed regular scrips.

So I heard you want to know about Anglo-Norman women of the 12th century and their roles as military leaders advancing the interests of their families. Or, perhaps I can interest you in the staging choices of portal ballets? Or the chemistry of vegan gluten free bread, perhaps?

There's a Medicare telehealth cliff at the end of this month that will impact other health insurance plans beyond just Medicare. This post ⤵️ will walk you through how to effectively advocate for telehealth in ways that actually influence the outcome... www.patreon.com/posts/139596...

This feels genuinely evil to me, like making art of Dora the Explorer being arrested by ICE to use as marketing. It is such a gleeful appropriation of something that has brought millions of people harmless joy and turning it into a hate meme promoting crimes against humanity.

The worst and most obnoxious thing about hunger is how you can eat something to make hunger stop and if it's not the mystically right combination of nutrients to volume, you actually GET HUNGRIER from the act of eating.

Alright, now live with Halo and conversation: twitch.tv/riversidewings

They've lost the 9yos

Frog came into the house. “Toad,” said Frog, “your pants and jacket are lying on the floor.” “Tomorrow,” said Toad from under the covers. “Your kitchen sink is filled with dirty dishes,” said Frog. “Tomorrow,” said Toad.

URGENT: $665 more needed before Oct 1 for rent. $110/$775 raised so far. Disabled queer trans person trying to stay housed. My doctor has been trying to treat me for air trapping, being unable to breathe makes work impossible. TYSM! 💕💸 #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund CashApp/Venmo: foxrook

There's so many safer things to do! Read tarot cards! Try autowriting! Roll dice! Say a little spell before bedtime and write down your dreams! Don't do blood offerings, don't fuck around with vision quests and mind altering substances, and don't play with ouija boards.

So if you want this to move, the ask has to be "include telehealth in any CR deal"

If you are seeing this, you haven't been raptured. Please enjoy various skeins from the #BookOfKells collection and some solid colorways in merino, alpaca/silk and alpaca blends. 🧶 #yarnsky #rapturesky #isurvivedtherapture #indieyarndyer #yarnaddict

This article, well written and insightful, leaves me with a related question: wasn't The Scholomance Trilogy a Draco/Harry fanfic rewritten to be less gay? Does it matter that it's critical of its origins? Is it just a marketing problem? How close is too close?
