I slept better postpartum. That’s 1:13 hours of sleep with three interruptions. That’s with Ambien and no caffeine.

Apple Health “sleep score” screenshot for today (Nov. 4, 2025) where OP has a 44 (“low”):

* 1 hour 13 minutes of sleep

* went to bed 3 hours and 27 minutes earlier than usual

* got up three times

It happened. I used "Find My" to locate my watch in the bin, thankfully in paper-based recycling in a bag.

Whenever I see bands with a sizeable and/or cult following (specifically @themountaingoats.bsky.social today & two yesterday) what they think about Spokane. I don't miss any part of Eastern WA except in memories.

I love my home now, but my heart aches for those memories. The desert is also pretty.

I can't believe people believed the ceasefire would ever hold. Netanyahu is a monster.

I have a TBI. I know what a joke is, but I'm bad at understanding them.

Fun fucking fact: People who said that about World War 2 are all fucking dead and therefore aren't sharing their thoughts on the current era's political landscape. Hope that helped.

I really, truly think it is. If it's validating people who don't have the strongest grip on reality or their mental health, it's going to validate irrational ideas and viewpoints of the world. I'm frightened of this for people.

It was a Durham high school who stood up to Westboro Baptist Church in 2005. (Indy Times)

As of 2021, a little more than a quarter of DPS students identify as queer. (DCONC dot gov)

DPS PAID Pastor Thompson $1,000 by DPS for talk & $10,000 to the church. (Internal)

What the hell?!

Durham is second in NC for same sex couples (behind Buncombe) & had a 4.9-6.7 per capita of queer individuals out of every 1,000. Remember we’re still southern. (Williams Institute)

DPS as recently as 2022 marketed itself as safe for queer teachers. (WDTV/ABC)

@durhamcounty.bsky.social what the hell? Even if this wasn’t his POV, this is a clear violation of the first amendment and targets a large population of the Durham community. NC conservatives won’t “pick” us by choosing this church as its venue and to have Pastor Andy Thompson speak.

—LGBTQ thing” and specifically holds “conservative theological views opposing LGBTQ acceptance” (quotes his). This doesn’t belong in Durham. This definitely is a violation of freedom of religion to further marginalize queer students & staff under an increasingly hostile, dangerous administration.

Durham Public Schools is requiring all staff to attend a workshop from prominent anti-queer church on their teacher workday (4 Nov.). The church, World Overcomers Christian Church led by Pastor Williams, said as recently as 2024 that Christianity has “bowed to this—

I really hate to be this person, but I doubt he feels limited by the term limit, nor do I think anyone with any kind of power to stop him will. All of this is absolutely an abuse of power, but none of the legal safety rails matter a single pixel unless someone actually stands up.

A surprise? NO.

"Grifter-in-Chief" Trump pardoned wealthy tax cheat Paul Walczak after Walczak's mother paid $1 million for dinner at Mar-a-Largo.

Term-limited Trump hosted a $1.5 million-per-plate fundraiser. For a 2028 campaign war chest?

The pharmacist who gave my vaccines ranted about how improvements in the migraine self injectors are measured in days of work missed. (It’s notable btw.) He said we shouldn’t define it by capitalism’s demands. Then gave me a coupon for Target for doing my vaccines.

It was almost an art piece.

—like Frieren does to not be noticed). Otherwise, he finds me and I’m stuck in repeating my own horrors. So is Lee. It follows me no matter where on Earth I go, but I’m also desperate to remember small details like the clean laundry, shower (it’s sulfur) etc.

Wonder what the fuck that’s about. /s

I’ve been dreaming about my grandparents house - always empty, haunted - do the first time in years. I found it on Google Maps.

Birdie bunts my face like Grim did.

I dream that Grandpa’s left awful, haunted energy, and it follows me. I have to make myself small (conceal my mana—

RIP Chris Shrewsbury, a beloved member of the NC con scene and accessibility & disability advocate, as well as a very loud-spoken supporter of cityofdurhamnc.bsky.social Schools, in particular Durham School of the Arts (formerly Durham Magnet Center). We'll all miss you terribly.

this is why media analysis is so important

I agree with the other commenter; bitch on. I aim to improve from disability for the expressed purpose of fighting back against the fascists. Fuck 'em. I've never had a better motivation than wanting to fuck them up.

It is SO frustrating to see what's happening and to hear no real pushback from people with big platforms and/or power to LEAD people to demand change. Why aren't they moving? Why wasn't W.'s "win" in 2000 a bigger deal than it was? We've been headed this way at least since then. (I was 11.)
