I turn 36 at the end of this month, October 2024.

I have been a dark-skinned immigrant to countries that are of fair-skin majority for my entire life. First to Singapura and then to Canada.

So much discourse *about* disabled ppl and yet not enough material support and solidarity in getting mutual aid and crowdfunding goals met. 🤔

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

It’s a male loneliness epidemic, but find a lonely man on a dating app and ask him if he’s looking for a relationship, and he’ll say no, just friends with benefits, so you say ok, like we go to the movies sometimes and also have sex and it’s like no, just sex, so you say ok, so we hook up…

Isabel Zaw-Tun @izzyzaw.bsky.social · 23h

everybody’s jealous of me since I decided to get plastic surgery to have Cuttlefish skin. they‘re resentful because I camouflage myself as a brick wall or a gorseberry bush in order to steal their croissants off their plates at cafes. I’ve never felt so beautiful

or you could doomscroll until your eyes pop out of their sockets and roll about the floor, gathering dust that you'll have difficulty cleaning off before your pop them back into their sockets maybe you'll miss a spot and you'll feel that patch of dust grinding about your eye socket as you doomscroll

Karen K. Ho @karenho.bsky.social · 18h

You could doomscroll, or you could literally go take a shower and then go to bed earlier than usual. One of those options will make you feel better than the other. You still deserve time to rest and recover.

If a Republican were president, there would still be a genocide.

If a Democrat were president, there would still be a genocide.

But instead of demanding politicians stop the genocide, our takeaway was “if it’s genocide either way, let’s take what we can get.”

Ergo, capitalism.

If it's not clear already, we need elected leaders who aren't so bloody rich and entitled that they are improperly socialized. They should be socialized to have a sense of the 'me' in relation to others and others' needs, wants, and agendas. Our leaders are infants. They are stuck at the "I" stage.
