She/her fat black queer, disabled femme, leftist in my 30s, sometimes publicly slutty, sometimes publicly depressed. I talk about food and books a lot and I try to be kind.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

Look, we all spent that day eating tacos and trying on boots

This seems fair, but also I support it.

I highly recommend this one It has fierce femmes and creepy doll transfers and sincere discussions of the different ways we inhabit our queerness and a rich girl/poor girl dynamic without a magical savior.

If you prefer your lesbians less of the "right out of a Hallmark" variety and more of the "ice queen lawyer on a road trip to an ex's wedding with a fake girlfriend" variety, I also have Hers For the Weekend with bonus! Only one bed.

"Could you pray for my celebrity sister..."

Oh, um, sorry but no, that's not really something I'd--

"--Dolly Parton?"

‘I was up all night praying’: Dolly Parton’s sister asks fans to ‘pray with me’

Hours after the first post, Freida Parton clarified saying her sister has "been a little under the weather."

I simply cannot conceive of the worldview that would have me saying in public that I can’t ask for consent because if I had to do that, then I’d have to stop this thing I want and assuming anyone would think that was a good argument.

The audio version which I read for accessibility reasons is also quite good though I imagine somewhat different than the text one

As a human who is not allergic to spice, I would definitely have to add some spices, but also I would absolutely eat it.

Same and there is so much food that I really want ground pork for and unless you are going to like one of the super high end markets, nothing.

Instant grits with a fuck ton of hot sauce, a mountain of cheese and chopped up hotdogs crisp up in a pan

The day that I discovered that pho could be a breakfast Food was one of the better days of my life.
A bowl of that on a morning when it’s starting to get cold, just perfect.

Hey .

The reason I recommend people talk to DV and immigration experts ( and I am NOT one )

Is that people don’t understand real dynamics of abuse when it comes to marginalized people

Especially when it comes to fighting fascism

People treat you worse when they find out you’re harmed

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

The only thing you really need to remember about Chiles v. Salazar is that ADF couldn't find any children harmed by not being able to find counselors who will practice conversion therapy—

so they rely on anonymous complaints on Reddit.

It's a fucking joke.

Same. Like they are deeply imperfect books, but sometimes I just need the comfort of books I don’t actually have to really think about.

It is as yet unclear how she categorizes my ex and current boyfriends, but I am gonna ask.

D is tired, but there is coffee @grrlintersect.bsky.social · 1d

Recently learned that a friend of mine catalogs my ex and current girlfriends as:
Lawyer hottie
CrossFit hottie
Baker/sword babe
Librarian slut princess, Irish
You know, I can’t really be mad about it.

Ok so I’m going to need to move by the end of October and have no prospects or savings or social circles.

Kait 🥔 @thryse.com · Aug 13

While I have food now, I’m broke with no income and I am going to be hard pressed to come up with any money to put towards rent or anything else. I’ve just been treading water for a year.

Please, if anyone can help my payment links are in my bio. Uber credit also helps💕💸💸💕
