There’s a moment in The Day After Tomorrow where Laura Chapman says, “Everything I've ever cared about, everything I've worked for... has all been preparation for a future that no longer exists.”
That’s what it feels like to live in the U.S. now.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

It's just really hard for me to comprehend how somebody could watch a Charlie Kirk video and think "This is informative and he makes a good point"
Like, maybe it's the fact that I have an actual university level education, but come the fuck on.

Wolves didn’t “fix” Yellowstone because ecosystems aren’t machines. Elk, beavers, bison, drought, trails… everything interacts.
What remains consistent? Human impacts still drown out ecology. Yellowstone exposes the myth of ecosystem resilience.

Reintroduced Carnivores’ Impacts on Ecosystems Are Still Coming Into Focus - Inside Climate News
Yellowstone has long been a mecca for scientists studying how predators affect everything from elk grazing to vegetation height. They are still debating how to make sense of what they’ve learned.

Nuance: a day off is a day off, and those are hard to come by in a system is brutal as this one. Rituals are important & getting together with loved ones is something we should be doing more, not less.
ALSO Thanksgiving as conceived is a celebration of genocide, as Indigenous folks have told us.

drugs (and there is no evidence that they were), drug dealing or smuggling is not punishable by death in OUR federal code.
Killing foreign nationals in international waters is a CRIME!
So it is a fucking unlawful order.

Survivors of religious & spiritual trauma can experience specific struggles around the winter holidays in particular that are misunderstood & unacknowledged by the culture-- so much so that survivors can learn to bury or belittle those struggles inside themselves.

This reply helped me realize why I find it so off-putting.
Ppl use “married” as shorthand for committed; same way ppl point to a person’s religion as proof they’re a good person. Objectively, they aren’t synonymous & unexamined acceptance of such commonplace things makes me question their judgment.

Had an MRI on my brain, due to migraines, which found “FLAIR hyperintense lesions”…&, according to
Google results they’re either nothing to be particularly concerned about OR I’ve got dementia & will die in a couple weeks 🤣🤣🤣

Self-care is not as easy for trauma survivors as it may sound. We've been conditioned to deny our need for care ("needing" anything feels awfully vulnerable) & to prioritize others at our own expense.
Learning self-care can be like learning a new language as an adult-- awkward.

Why, when ppl ask how long a couple has been together, do so many ppl feel the need to say “8 together, 3 married”?
Um, ok…I didn’t ask about your property contract. That’s irrelevant. The answer to the question is the first part. It’s like they compulsively Need to tell you they’re married.
