Because of social media I met you, and bc of you I was able to keep my medical coverage... that I would die without. Also bc of you we've been informed enough about covid that neither of us has had it. I have low immune function. It could kill me. But I'm still here, because of you.

Went through and reported all of her comments about you as spam and harassment. You don't deserve this shit ever, but especially right now.

Re: the Gaiman allegations. Even consensual sexual contact within HOURS of first meeting YOUR EMPLOYEE who is caring for YOUR CHILDREN is fucked, man.

The discourse hit the level of "whisper networks are bad, actually" followed by "40 year age gaps are fine bc tumblr said they aren't" and from people with huge numbers of followers. Going up walk into the sea now.

CW: SA Being hit with, "But he's such a nice guy" and demands for proof is so common for SA survivors that most of us aren't even surprised anymore; just disappointed.

The times I've heard "He would never do something like that" when talking about the things that were done to me. It's easy to be a nice guy when all your rage is taken out on other people.

The neighbors' children are outside screaming for fun. One started shrieking and they have all joined in and now it's a chorus of shrieks. I feel that about the world, too, kids. But also my head hurts.

tw: suicide She also faked her own suicide, recorded her bf's reaction to it, and used that recording in later projects. She played at being a conjoined twin for another of her projects She's been known to use the N word. Lots of other just really bizarre shit. (I did a deep dive a few years ago.)

Humming "Mr Bojangles" to try and replace "Teenage Dirtbag" as the main song stuck in my head. Now they're both stuck and playing at the same time.

I didn't know until last year that it's an epi-pen level allergy and not mild like I thought. Still sort of figuring out exactly what that means, apparently. Normally Sora greets me with "It's good to see you" when I wake up. Today it was "Oh no honey your nose is so big!"

Sinus issues so I started using breathe right nasal strips. Work great, but noticed they are wrapped in a latex containing wrapper. No big deal, though, right? Woke up this morning with a very large nose.

I've seen excerpts and I love the photography so very much. I appreciate, from what I've seen, how the photography doesn't look down on the residents or their home, but seeks to capture the raw reality of living there.

I feel like so many people are isolated from what happens in other places/with other people, esp in the U.S. It's hard for me to imagine living like that. I like knowing what's going on everywhere, but I also have PTSD so that kind of goes with it. DC really is taxation w/out representation.

I moved everything from wordpress/woocommerce to Shopify over the weekend and added some new bags today.

(I forgot about some other new cat toast fabric I ordered a while ago and I think it's going to arrive sometime this week!)

just fyi there's some allegations going around about neil gaiman. if hearing about that is going to be triggering i recommend muting "gaiman" for a couple weeks. just want anyone who has a tough time with this kind of story the chance to avoid it.

I knew, but I dated someone in Arlington for a few years so I tried to keep up on what was happening in DC since I was there a lot. (More than 10 years ago) I think I'd heard of the fight for statehood long before that, but only in the most general sense, possibly from NPR?

Even IF the assault allegations weren't true (not saying this is the case), having a sexual relationship with someone twenty years your junior and in your employ is fucking gross.

My mom gave me a "Midvale School for the Gifted" mug because I was very much that kind of nerd and it's probably one of the things I most regret losing in my many moves, just bc it showed how much she knew me, and how much of a sense of humour we shared.

If we really want people to vote for Biden, we need to look at what's keeping people from voting at all. Worry about taking time off work? Transpo? Child care? Grassroots efforts to help non-voters vote can have a real impact and is a better use of our energy than fighting amongst ourselves.

Fewer migraines lately but way, way, way more intense than ever before. Tempted to ask for Imitrex injections again, but the rebound from them has always been particularly nasty. Imitrex is the ONLY rescue med I respond to outside of IV Magnesium, which is hospital only, and it's hardly working.
