She's normally Very Much Not Physically Affectionate, but she spent a large majority of this morning in my arms, purring softy. At least partially bc the AC was a few degrees colder than normal, but I'm choosing to believe that's not 100% of the reason

This morning Gato my love was being EXTRA cuddly. I was laying on the "wrong" side for a bit, her balancing on my legs, and as I turned to the "right" one, she came marching up my body to get in my arms under the blanket 🥹 it broke my heart when I had to get up but my tummy ache was FIERCE

You don't have to have both hands and good dexterity to open a bottle of vodka. You don't have to complete a puzzle to open a carton of cigarettes.

A shoebox i am eager to stand on is the fact that the cannabis industry has become inaccessible to the very community that made it possible. You know how hard it is to open that packaging when you have low dexterity? Limited use of your hands? No strength in your fingers?

Dem messaging right now should be this, loud and clear:

"The GOP would rather shut down the government than let the American people have affordable healthcare."

On repeat and everywhere.

Maybe it’s time for folks to set up liberal charter schools and fund them with vouchers. Imagine a place where books aren’t banned and teachers aren’t censored and trans kids can use the bathroom of their choice and actual history is taught. After all it’s about parental choice, right?

PLEASE call your representatives and tell them to vote against these trans healthcare bans. What Big Orange is trying to do will kill people. If I lose T, it will kill ME. If I lose all hope of surgery, I fear it will be too bleak to continue

#FocusFriend is great because like. What if I change my lock screen to a screenshot of Burrito doing his knitting and Pavlov myself into using my phone less. Would that work @hankgreen.bsky.social

Also can we normalize not just calling out of nowhere? If you don't text me first to ask if I wanna call (and I say YES), I Will Watch The Phone Ring. Unless it's like, My Mommy. I'm serious

Get more friends or go pay a trained therapist to do it. If your ONE person you feel comfortable being vulnerable with happens to have a bad day when you Really Need To Call Right Now, they don't need to overextend themself to make sure you're alive. Call 988, dog. They get paid for that labor

One of the best ways men can avoid becoming a suicide statistic is by having an emotional support system LARGER THAN 1. I'm so serious. That ONE friend, or god forbid girlfriend, who's giving you free therapy and stresses over your threats/thoughts of killing yourself - is TIRED. And unpaid

Engagement is essential. When we slow down and truly inhabit the present, we begin to experience life as sacred, not just sequential.

Adhd moment

A tattoo on a left hand of the lines of a notebook, with "NOTES" written at the top. Underneath, at the base of the thumb, it says "Test Pens Here:"

Mario "BT" Horner @btmhorner.bsky.social · Sep 12

Hot take but I think products should be REQUIRED to list every single ingredient. I'm tired of umbrella words like "other natural flavors" and "spices" I wanna know if I'm gonna be allergic to it before I buy/consume it! Just bc its not one of the "big allergies" doesn't mean I'm not allergic to it

Mario "BT" Horner @btmhorner.bsky.social · Sep 9

Started a tattoo that I will literally never be able to finish 😂 so excited to keep adding to it over the years! The lines are scrungly but that's because it's my own work and I have a tremor

A tattoo of a sierpenski triangle (a large triangle with smaller triangles inside of it, repeating inwards). The lines are rough, and the area is red and inflamed

If they overturn Obergefell I will be forced to choose between marrying the person I love or being legally recognized as the gender I am. But of course, the latter right is also in danger

Mario "BT" Horner @btmhorner.bsky.social · Sep 8

The right to marry is the difference between holding your loved one's hand while they die or being forced to sit in a waiting room while they die alone. Because you're not "family." And our right to that is in jeopardy right now

Mario "BT" Horner @btmhorner.bsky.social · Sep 8

"But why do you have to be LEGALLY married? Can't you just live together (and pretend)?"

Because the nurse at my fiancé's doctor's appointment was rude to me for knowing the answers. When he didn't. I live with him, and this is NEURO. Yes, he forgets. Yes, that's WHY HES HERE

Last one. Exhausted. I acted brave but this rattled me. Its not safe for us out here, and its only getting worse. I'm finally the man i needed to see in the mirror, and im terrified to exist in public. I fight back because someone has to. But i wish i didn't

A lot of these homophobic repubs seem to spend a lot of time thinking about naked men 👀...
