I was outside walking for like 10 minutes total just now & I feel like my toes are going to fall off which just makes what the folks in Minnesota are doing even more amazing. I’ve done picketing in extreme cold during winter strikes (photo below from 2020) & it’s a lot. Solidarity from Ontario 🇨🇦
Photo of me in 2020 giving a peace sign while wearing 3/4 layers in preparation for teachers’ strike in arctic temperatures. I’m wearing black thermal underwear & socks beneath a thick wooly coat & thigh-high wool socks. I’m also wearying a thick black wool knit scarf and a red union hat. Not pictured: long parka, running gloves, wool mittens, Timberlands, & Hot Paws. I’m standing in the kitchen of my old apartment. In the background you can see my baby’s high chair, wet wipes, bottles, & detritus of new parent life.

If you want to destroy my sweater…

Two weeks of work. Gone.

I can’t even count on my brain or body to do something inconsequential for myself.

This is why I can’t keep a job.

All I can do right now is stay alive.

Unfortunately ankylosing spondylitis does not in fact turn you into an ankylosaurus. But it would be cool if it did. Anyways I’m going to go sleep for the rest of the day!

Context: reply to a post I made yesterday about how my brain doesn’t see a list of specific books as a request for books generally, as a generic & fiction example of one of the many ways the holidays can be a confusing & alienating time for ND ppl such as myself

The Lost New York had everything…
Still of Stefon from SNL, played by Bill Hader. Stefon was a Weekend Update character who was like a lifestyle or night life reporter for NYC. He would say a new club “has everything,” & then proceed to list increasingly absurd non-sequiturs describing said club. These were written on cue cards that Hader had not seen at final rehearsal & the writers over had the goal of making Hader “break character” by laughing when trying to deliver his lines.

My son just surprised me w flowers in bed as an early birthday gift! Completely caught me off guard. On cloud nine now. Even Blue Sky Dot Com can’t bring me down after this one (that is not a dare).
Photo showing half of a bouquet of assorted flowers, some of which I don’t know the names of, in purple, pink, and white. I know for sure there is a purple rose & a couple of white tulips that haven’t bloomed yet. I want to say that the big white one that looks like a shower poof is a hydrangea. I think the dark pink ones are daisies.

Wat lol
My reply in a larger thread: It's true though. This was my 6yr old's first time taking an interest in watching sports & now he's like what's next? We said hockey & basketball. He asked if it's like watching baseball & we laughed like no not at all. This was a special type of trauma bonding we just experienced Reply to my reply: Baseball is the thinking man's game! If it's boring you, you don't understand the game. However, bashing ALL who watch and/or play the game makes you look childish! Generalizations are frequently erroneous and usually uneducated.

Yes I own dias de los muertos leggings & yes I will be wearing these all weekend long bc I’m a spooky bitch whose birthday is on Monday and have claimed the four days of Halloween thru my birthday as my own bc I’m Queen of the Dead & you can’t tell me nothing 👑💀
Photo of my legs stretched out in bed, showing my people, white, grey, and black leggings. They have decorative skulls and stylized marigolds in the first three colours, on a black background. Same letting as in previous photo, but from the side of the leg this time. You can see more of one of the white skulls here. The nose is in the style of a spade from a tradition deck of cards, & the eyes are large grey marigolds on a black background lined in small purple arches.
