Currently torn between:

A) the world is on fire — save all my money

Or

B) the world is on fire — spend all my money on 🍃🍃, vibrators, and tattoos

Round blue-green plate featuring 3 red apple slices, 4 slices of Gouda cheese, and a big piece of toast with green avocado mash, a fried egg with a miserably overcooked yolk, balsamic drizzle, hot sauce, and sprinkles of everything bagel seasoning.

They call me … the SnapBack kid. #snapback #nonbinary #enby #androgyny #genderqueer #genderihardlyknowher #queer

Super awkward nonbinary human in a gray hooded zip up, with sunglasses hanging off the collar, wearing a SnapBack hat in black, backward. Curly teal hair is peeking through the hole in the hat. Awkward human is even more awkward as they try to throw up a peace sign or gang sign — who knows. In the background is a white wall with a teal sign that has a black cat and the text “show me your Tito’s” as in Tito’s vodka. The cat on the sign is holding a bottle of vodka.

Guess everyone at the FDA is getting fired now.

FDA quietly approved a generic abortion pill ahead of shutdown

The approval of a generic for the medication mifepristone comes less than two weeks after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged that the agency would review the drug’s safety.

@nytgames.bsky.social out here this morning making me think real hard about Matt Damon before I’ve even finished my coffee.

Why is the current administration obsessed with “curing” and “preventing” autism but not cancer?

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

Am I burnt out?

Is it imposter syndrome?

Do I just suck at everything?

Who’s even writing this story?

Was definitely in CVS yesterday and learned about the Tylenol thing from a little old lady in the pain relief aisle.

She was checking all the boxes for autism warnings.

I’d say you can’t make this shit up except that’s what RFKJr is doing EVERY. FUCKING. DAY.

I can’t figure out if I’m losing weight or if I keep buying the wrong size clothes.

But also it feels weird to confidently buy a size smaller than I have been.

There’s so much anxiety over getting that smaller size and it being too tight.

But also I don’t like things snug and super fitted.

I hope the FBI agent assigned to my phone calls enjoyed me referencing the Epstein files right before I went into a lore drop for my chaos gremlin of a character who’s the hot tub spooge plant baby of Superman and the Joker.

Is it wrong to hope that everyone who voted for 🍊💩 doesn’t enjoy a moment of peace or a decent night’s sleep for the next however many years we’re saddled with this authoritarian, fascist bullshittery?

I hope they all get the fucking day they voted for. On repeat.

She doesn’t even need to bring the therapist! I’d settle for an appointment date that I would move mountains to be present for.

I have a feeling my mom thinks a (fake) raccoon skeleton and some funfetti cupcakes are going to overshadow her continued unwillingness to accept who I am.

#tbh her showing up with a family therapist would be the best gift of all.

Visit with the fam last night.

+ bro was out hunting
+ stepdad wasn’t around
+ focused topic of our miniature cattle business
- mom misgendered me many times
- mom needed to criticize something so she chose my flaking nail polish?

Gee. What’s that like? Imagine having a functional judicial branch that holds a president accountable.

Currently trying to ignore some health stuff because I’m not ready to go to the doctor and be told that whatever it is is because I’m fat and could very fixed by contracting a stomach flu or starving myself for a month or having a GLP-1 thrown at me.

Feeling like I did such a good job on vacation with disconnecting from the world at large and really being present. Now that I’m back in the real world though … I feel overwhelmed, distracted, burdened, and lacking all that resilience I tried to build back up while I was away.

Ugh. Just. Ugh.

Post-vacation #mood.

A Post-it note with “fresh picked condiments from Georgia“ surrounded by packets of Heinz ketchup, mayo, and mustard. On a break room table.

My favorite part has been watching all the stuff I read on AO3 growing up now being mainstream and on library shelves. Minotaurs? Bigfoot? Bring it on! It’s not my vibe but it’s someone’s so shout out to all these authors getting to write what they want and not have to hide their flavor of weird.

Ngl - I used Astepro and saline sprays this last go round with Covid and it helped. It didn’t work miracles but it definitely shortened the congestion. Especially with trying to get some zzzzzz’s at night.
