I have been taking surfing lessons. Still in the beginner kook trenches, but celebrating my last time on a foam board 😎

Graduating to a hard top next session.

It’s fun to learn new things! Even if you look like a goober at the beginning. 🏄🏽‍♀️

Because we live in a world that got Trump elected I just don't talk about it much online anymore.

I started hormones on June 3rd 2020. Right before my senior year of high school and 5 months before my 18th birthday.

Martha Kelly @MarthaKelly3 Under capitalism, it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane
