tonight they taught me how to stop and start my bike so my knees don’t hurt and then bought me a banh mi, being a grown up in love from a family where my parents hated each other and me is wild and cute

my partner asks me if i “wanna get cozy“ and then tucks me under three specific blankets, curates a wildly specific white noise array, makes the room very chilly and hands me the stuffed whale they bought me with a cooling tummy, it’s nice.

You would never argue about swimming with someone who never swims and doesn't know how. Why would protesting be different?

excited to tell my psychiatrist that my meds make me so sleepy i get scared

ak @666ofswords.bsky.social · 11h

my new thing with my sleep meds is when i’m with someone else, i am so aware of how sleepy i am that i get scared of how sleepy i am and my partner has to comfort me and tell me that it’s ok, i am just sleepy, until i fall asleep

anyway i am very tired of not being taken seriously and also i am unable to take myself seriously to the point that if someone indicates they respect me, i have to immediately do something to sabotage it 🐛

Another reason to mask at protests, aside from COVID safety and protection from doxxing, is that a lot of responsible documenters don't want to publish protesters' faces (esp without their consent) right now. Your face being in a shot may prevent people from sharing a worthwhile image publicly.

she also loves: being held so she can rest her head on my shoulder and look at both of us in the mirror, eating kibble straight off the couch, drinking water from a cup right after me, trader joe’s treats with the red lid.

i am excited for my “didn’t let me eat hot dogs or drink juice boxes or use tampons or get the flu shot” mom to wrap her mind around autism in the year 2025, i’m sure it will be measured and accurate.
