If people who believe in science also have a hatred for Trump then yeah I guess...

Welp, I kept my commitments to the Halloween related events with kiddo after sleeping half the day away. So far the sobs have stayed away. I hope you're hydrating your meatsuit periodically 🥤

I have been on HRT for perimenopause for the last 18 months. Seeing the atrocities happening on a daily basis is taking a major toll on my mental health. Being worried about losing housing if the government continues to stay shut down is also taking a toll

The atrocities taking place not only within the US, but also the genocide in Gaza and other countries, the fact that I might lose housing if this government shutdown takes too long to resolve itself, my insurance getting worse next year than it already was, the guilt of not being "better" than I am

I'm really struggling lately. Yesterday I woke up& sobbed on the kitchen floor for like 20 mins before I could even make my morning tea. Held it together through breakfast w/ kiddo& then broke down again while brushing my teeth. This morning I held it together until I got kiddo to school.

Autistic meltdowns aren’t tantrums.

They’re the bodymind saying “I can’t hold this anymore".

They’re not moral failures.

They’re overload.

Pressure leaving the system.

You don’t need punishment.

You need safety.

I met a majority of the people I call friends online both locally and globally. Learned better ways to accommodate myself too. Crowd funded a huge move that greatly improved mine& my child's quality of life.

I was today years old when I learned mangoes, cashews, and pistachios are in the same family as poison ivy and poison sumac.

Good morning beautiful souls 🌞

Two important reminders...
1.The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.
2.Watering your meatsuit regularly gives you better chances of having a great day.
