That stuff can really linger — even before covid, I caught pneumonia from a surgical procedure and it was like six months before I could speak a whole paragraph without coughing.

Oh no! That’s a long time to have pneumonia! But at least maybe they can get you some meds to clear it up?

Just for fun, I’m doing an online class about hummingbirds, and it’s amazing. “So you probably signed up because you think hummingbirds are beautiful, unique, and special birds. Well you’re correct!” Love to see this kind of passion just right out there.

Right? And people are quick to blame the kids for being prudish — but there are more queer kids now who know they’re queer, and there are places criminalizing queerness, and they’re censored on major apps! They’re not wrong to feel sex is risky when people are using it to threaten!

Is something bad happening somewhere? Is there a danger to all of us or some of us? I find a quick way to help, or somewhere to donate, and then I let it go, because sitting here feeling awful is not actually praxis past a certain point.

Doing all my writing work in the morning before the cycle of current events despair can sap the will from me — and then skipping the current events despair to read and swim and do art things in the afternoon instead — has been really very healthy for me.

Focusing on presidential swing states is good and all but crucial shit is happening all over the nation at the state level and it is nearly impossible to go wrong getting involved anywhere a trans care ban or abortion ban has come down.

I support my rep's read on this: pushing Biden out in JULY of an election year is so utterly unhinged as to be baffling. It's fucking bizarre and political suicide.

Project 2025 deportations will require violence. Period. The agencies involved are staffed w/people who will either 1) enthusiastically do so, or 2) go along w/no protest. We know this bc when told to take kids from parents & deport mom/dad w/no way to find kids--horrific--they executed seamlessly.

For years we had only a window AC unit and now we’re in a place with actual air conditioning and I’m so grateful for it that it’s absurd. It’s too hot and the sun’s too intense even for swimming, so having a cool place to retreat to is literally saving me right now.
