Still not quilting. Finally got a new iron but my strength is gone.

Ran out of Luteolin with Rutin - it's a powerful neuro antiinflammatory + mast cell stabilizer. It could be why this migraine showed up.

Poverty always creates this choice of what lets you live or what makes you want to live. 😔

It's not 4D chess. They're stealing our democracy in the name of white supremacy. All while Trump makes billions scamming from our highest seat of power.

Petty? Not really. They're all in the Epstein files, after all. No one made these men turn to Epstein for advice and PR washing. Worse, so many institutions allowed it, covered it up, and gave permission for the harassment and abuse of women by "great" dumbfuck men.

Ugh, thought I broke the pain part of the migraine last night - it's back. But other symptoms are better. Less light/dark sensitivity, sense of taste isn't warped anymore, but my sense of smell is still screwy. Also still getting pinprick flashes of light in vision.

At least I can do more than sit.

Tonight, thinking of all I've done to learn + understand in the face of systemic inequality, desperately believing if I knew enough, I could protect myself, I land on a truth:

Survival is not the same as safety.

Even as my head feels like it's going to split open from light, I'm very grateful I'm able to have books around me again. I'm still sensitive to certain printing types, but the crafting + art books I love are mostly safe.

I think this migraine is hitting the euphoria stage while still painful AF. 🙃

Don't plan on watching Melania, but I am curious during which act they bring up how she was sex trafficked, drugged, raped + sold to Trump as a "girlfriend" w/ thousand yard dead-eye stare. Given her age, probably between "early years" + "sold to Epstein".

Eat the rich.

One of the more interesting, fun parts of this migraine is I'm not feeling nauseous. I'm feeling *hungry*.

Years of no appetite, now suddenly migraines help me eat. ✨

Migraine going strong, including light sensitivity. Haven't had one this bad in a long time... Guess the iodine treatment is healing my trigeminal nerve enough to feel more pain. Great. 🥲

The hardest part of facing mortality when no one else around is, is realizing grief must never be shared. Denying what's happening denies not just the pain, but the grieving process for all involved.

How do you say goodbye to someone who isn't informed they're dying?

Poor sleep, woke w/ a migraine. The Advil+ magnesium oil helped the neck pain, but not the light sensitivity, pin pricks flashes, or head pain.

The embroidered wings are done, but will have to wait to be cut. Thought I might watercolor, but I don't think I can handle the light. I fight sleep still.

Not surprised, just seriously grossed out. They knew what he did to kids by this point. Zero deniability.

1/3 They're hiding he's dying from my FIL.

My partner + I are so different about death. He wouldn't want to know, wouldn't want to face the fear of impending death. I would, because I've been preparing for death since the age of 9 when I realized it's inevitable.

I don't know what's "correct".

FIL's too weak for chemo. It would significantly shorten instead of give him time. He never recovered from the initial starvation + the cancer is too aggressive.

My MIL is saying months - she's lying to herself. Hospice is now involved.

I'm devastated + angry. They let him starve + it killed him.

I set of bee wings complete, I set to finish.

I keep thinking of them as "small", but I would hate to meet the giant bee they would fit.

I can't believe I never heard this song by Bowie before. It's a bittersweet gift against corporate colonialism.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

Tried again, this time using a silk thread to couch the metallic thread. It's much smoother and sleek looking. I plan on wrapping the outer cotton thread in the same silk too.

I dunno. I tried a metallic thread + it feels bulky. Maybe if I had only used the metallic as the couched thread + something flatter for the thread holding it in place...

It might be too matchy to the organza, too. Bee wing details seem to be more red/brown.

Something I've only noticed recently, but I'm absolutely joyful in regards to my health... I can now sleep on my side without excruciating hip pain + on my back w/o screaming back pain.

My sleep is so much better. Not great, barely restful, but at least it's not full of pain. Winning. ✨

Three wing outline wires done, one to go.

I can't tell if my headache is from the intricate sewing or the fact I'm running a low grade fever. I want to use silk over the cotton embroidery thread to create a puffed vein feel... But that might not be realistic to bee wings...

Bet it doesn't include a retirement plan, but they might get three square meals in a tiny cage...

Been getting very distinct episodes of weakness, dizziness, dim vision, etc. Very frustrating after finally stealing some strength back. But it made me realize they're episodes, and my overall is no longer the same weakness as before. It's improvement... as I sit in bed too tired to move. 😔
