Apparently tiktok thinks I know Mamdani. I don't think he's ever called me. So I'm wondering which of my Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence knows him and *that's* why it's popping up. Is it you, Roma?

I find it interesting that a woman in Britain is doing the same experiment for asking for a can of baby formula from religious institutions. All the churches have said no. Every mosque has said yes. It was a mosque who offered baby formula to the American experiment and also three black churches.

I generally functioned like this while knowing it was unhealthy. I used to joke I had to be like one of those arctic sharks. Because of the dysfunction of capitalism, folks would routinely marvel at my output, while I knew it wasn't great. What I didn't count on was that I would, someday, crash.
Overfunctioning to the point of exhaustion is a very effective way to guarantee we won't be able to protect ourselves when we need to.
Trauma Brain's insistence that overfunctioning somehow keeps us "safe" is a lie. It never did keep us safe-- not really.

Ooof. I think Cheddar is allergic to the antibiotic meds. I noticed her nose and lip got puffy & was worried there's a mouth injury. But I think it was less puffy until I got her the next dose. Now it's puffy again. Apparently it's a possible reaction. Good thing the vet's open tomorrow.

Well, against a mountain of initial adversity at the start of level 3, I'm now officiallycertified as a sensorimotor therapist.

I'm behind on any tiktoks on linking white supremacy and organized abuse. But the recent wealthy paying to hunt humans expose fits pretty neatly. I suspect some of the reason the Epstein files are so guarded are that they contain details of nightmares that I'm all too familiar with.

Trump and Clinton is the least surprising thing since toxic masculinity has so very often included male on male aggressive and violating sexual contact to highlight power dynamics. But so much is utilizing dissociation of, it isn't what it is

Hearing about @schumer.senate.gov crafting the deal to end the shutdown while playing, in public, like he hates the deal is unsurprising. He's the example of why folks say both parties are the same. He's gotta go. & every Dem found arranging this w/ him has to go. We can't f. around w/ this anymore

Cheddar Biscuit got some outside action, apparently, when I was gone and some neighborhood cat bit her tail. Several hundred dollars later and a shaved part of her tail, she's doing OK. But grumpy. She only looks tough.

Our calls & outrage are working! Sen Kaine, Rosen, Shaneen & Hassan said if they hear from more of their constituents, they could change their votes from a yes to a no. Rs may not be voting for this bill also, so call your R senators too. Keep the phone calls coming bc it’s working! 202-224-3121

Bernie - "If this resolution passes, we will be throwing 15 million of our fellow Americans off their health insurance.... Studies show that if we throw 15M off health insurance, 50k will die."
He also argued that the vote the GOP has offered is meaningless.

I honestly think that social media has done more to normalize and educate around multiplicity than all the decades of clinical publications on the subject.

I sincerely hope that everyone who got SNAP benefits for November has already spent them. This is beyond ridiculous.
JUST IN: The Trump administration late Saturday directed states that they must "immediately undo" any actions they have made to provide benefits to low-income families via SNAP.

This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward.
In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

So the administration will send out only half of November's SNAP, but it might take months to go out even though that didn't occur in 2017. And they won't let states fund SNAP, and they are sending threatening letters out to grocery stores that are offering to feed people. Huh....

Someone tried to shame me as not "normal" for caring about and living in an urban area of CA. I tried a game where I tested their use of "normal" by saying normal is derived from white supremacy concepts. And he did not disappoint. Completely mask off with all the racism and saying something
