Today is TDOR and more than any other day the weight of all the people I’ve lost over the years is heaviest today. I miss my friends, and it pains me that they’ll never get to see the people they would eventually become.

There are times where I’m kind of bitter because I finally did something I didn’t wanna do and it actually makes me feel better. Like damn, you got me.

My heart is shattered at the loss of Alice Wong. A true trailblazer, and someone I admired very much for the passion & fire that she brought to her life, her writing, and her advocacy. There’s most definitely a void in this space without you. Rest in Peace, Alice.

I recently became an affiliate with Kind Mask and they gave me a hell of a discount to share with y’all 😷 If you’re in the market for high-quality KN95 respirators, use POTATUM25 for 25% off your entire order 🫡

Reminder that 37% of folks on SNAP are elderly and disabled, and oftentimes don’t have the ability to stand outside a food bank for hours and then carry it all home. If you have a car, offer to give your elders and disabled neighbors a ride to the food bank.

Everything has been so overwhelming. I’m trying to find spots of silence. Of peace. The only space I can seem to find is in bed, just before I fall asleep. I see my cat resting at the foot of my bed, music softly playing in the background, and just for a moment; things are okay.

As I sit here this morning, Black Messiah sits on my record player and I think of the ways in which D’Angelo’s music has helped shape me and my taste. I really don’t know what to think or say other than hoping he’s at peace.

Today we lost a wonderful, endlessly caring, and incredibly creative soul in Ellis Perez. Your light will keep the flames of happiness burning, and I can only hope that you’ve finally found peace & a life free of pain. We love you Ellis.

Life has been so stressful and I’ve not been active on this account the way I want to be, and I do very much apologize for that. How is everyone feeling in their bodies today?

Feel like I shouldn’t even have to say it at this point but here we are. Autism isn’t anything that needs to be cured (nor can it be). Tylenol isn’t causing autism, it just happens like that.

Bought this today and as a lifelong fan of pro wrestling (but an adamant hater of the WWE) I’m interested to see if it opens my eyes anymore than they already are about the aspect of persona and illusion in trumps presidency
