"But maybe you touch one life
And the world becomes a better place to be
Maybe you give their dreams another day
Another chance to be free"

That's why I keep going, right there. My symptom profile is high octane nightmare fuel, but as long as I can make a difference, I have something to fight for.

This song hits me hard. It's about living your life to the fullest before you get old, & I essentially entered old my senior years in my early 30s.

Various health issues have massively shortened my life expectancy & given me a bunch of symptoms commonly associated with old age.

The Crüxshadows – Birthday

Roll out of bed, look in the mirror / And wonder who you are / Another year has come and gone / Today is your birthday / But it might be the last day of your life / What will you

Being neurodivergent means you over-explain EVERYTHING in hopes of clear communication, then get anxious that your over-explanation was irritating and actually made things more confusing 🫤

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration

Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.

The Portland thing gives me some hope because we, as a society, glorify violence because our government IS violence. But the cycle of retaliation can never stop without some really intense problem solving and big picture work.

To see de-escalation with frog suits, of all things.

It has taken a lot to get here, but we are finally nearly ready to haul my bum body across the country.

Everything to deal with my complex disabilities en route has severely ate away at what we collected.

Anything you can give towards tickets and unexpected needs is very appreciated! 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

This is what I mean when I say, when it comes to political positions, most ppl just run on vibes. 100% feelings-before-facts. Japan is screaming towards a population crash at 1,000 MPH, it's not reversible at this point. But you have political parties agitating to return to hermit kingdom status.

Bloomberg News @bloomberg.com · 4h

Japan’s far right is on the rise, alarming foreign workers. Nowhere is that anxiety more apparent than in the city of Toyota, where immigrants power the economy while facing political backlash.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

It is not too late for you to start wearing a mask in public.

It is not too late for you to start advocating clean air.

It is not too late for you to learn how to build your own air filters or to tap in with folks already doing so.

They want you sick. They want your neighbors sick. Tell them no.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Connections between corporate boards in the DOW 30. I think this is basically the org chart of the US

The image displays an intricate network illustrating the overlap between board members of the top 30 companies in the Dow Jones index. It uses distinct symbols to differentiate roles and gender: blue circles with a plus sign for female board members, yellow circles with a plus for male board members, plain yellow circles for male board members who are also CEOs, and black circles with a plus for male CEOs. This visual representation highlights the connections and shared roles among these influential individuals and companies.

I'm a solo vocalist specialized in sad ballads. That one stands out, to me at least. And my repertoire spans centuries.
