Any endo girlies who grew up in the 2000s remember being forced to run the mile every quarter or whatever in school?

I think I blocked it out of my memory because of how traumatic it was.

My entire body would be on fire & in pain & I couldn’t breathe & I didn’t know WHY.

And I was like… 11.

It’s 3am and I am still awake, working on a silly little short film project.
Why do I do this.
😅
(Hint: I do it for the art)

Today was my first day back at work since my car accident earlier this week, and I have been starting to feel a lot more pain from the impact… despite all that, I came home after work at 9pm and deep cleaned my room/bathroom until 2am… 🤷🏻‍♀️ Stress cleaning I guess?? 😅

Alright fellow poets, I have a question!
Has anyone used mind mapping as a way to plan a #poetry collection?
I’m always making enormous Google docs or Notion pages where I plan everything but I’m wanting to play with the idea of mind mapping more. Suggestions??

Managed to sprain my ankle pretty bad today… it’s all bruised and super swollen. Resting it on ice now but geez I feel like a sad mermaid out of water, just dragging my leg around trying not to move it too much… 😭

They want us to forget history. They want to destroy the Department of Education so we become easier to manipulate.
It starts with them attacking Trans folks, but we are ALL next.
They are literally taking pages straight from the holocaust playbook.
Don’t allow them to think we’ve forgotten.

Feeling accomplished. 💪🏼✨
I haven’t submitted any poems in months & I’ve been putting off working on one (due Saturday) for weeks bc I’ve been so exhausted.
But I got it done today AND revised an old poem I wrote in 2021 after realizing it was perfect for another submission I’ve been putting off. 👏🏻

Me: “wtf brain, it’s almost 3am, it’s been a long exhausting day, I’ve taken my meds, WHY can I not sleep!?”
(Remembers that I had a double espresso this morning, then an iced coffee at lunch, then an energy smoothie after work, and then black tea with dinner…)
Aw come on… 🙄😭 why do I do this…

You know what’s a fun feeling?
Changing my mind about every single poem in the book I’ve been working on since the end of 2022.
Guess I’m just gonna… ditch the entire manuscript and start from scratch…?

Does anyone remember the scene in Across The Universe where Lucy is in the phone booth talking to her mom, and she goes, “They should be radical. You should be radical! We should all be radical!”
Yeah… that scene has been coming to mind a LOT in the last few years…

I just reached into my pocket hoping I had a tissue, and I HAD A TISSUE. I am at the age where I carry a tissue in my pocket. 👵🏻😂

Working on my library tech degree classwork right now and just feeling like I’m in training to be some sort of crime fighting bookish superhero…?
Book bans begone, knowledge for all!! 🦸🏻‍♀️📚✊🏻

Last night I went to the inaugural reading of my hometown’s new Poet Laureate, Caleb Nichols, and wow. It was a full house & the community energy was strong & unmatched. I was so moved hearing all the incredible poets read their work. What a beautiful way to end a difficult week… 💕✨ felt spiritual.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

I feel like my career goal of becoming a librarian/archivist is just so much more important now… ✊🏻 they’re already manipulating major social media platforms and Google.
They will go after Wikipedia.

They will go after libraries.

They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.

They will go after archives.

Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.

Thinking is the enemy.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I have been hesitant to fully migrate to this platform… but it’s becoming apparent that all of the others are doomed. So here we are.
Welcome to the resistance ✊🏻
