I'm just trying to figure things out and navigate spaces. I'm often wrong and growing from that experience. Feel free to help me grow by correcting me, I can only repay you in appreciation

When I was just another cis white man, I voted for progressives to help othered peoples and push for their safety. Now that I am disabled and facing unsafe conditions including my own destruction, I am being told by othered peoples to go fuck myself for asking for their vote. Yay. Reactionaries.

Expanding and auditing what should go towards the carbon credit economy could create new businesses that are viable while also destroying Teslas stock value. Planting x trees isnt enough.

Interview went really well. Its a four interview process but getting to the second one seems likely. Pay increase and some stability, with the opportunity to become a subject matter expert in a hundred+ year old industry really appeals to me. I can only control what I can.

Support from the healthcare advocacy community is important in this moment. I am going to fight for a better future in healthcare for our state. With healthcare costs becoming completely out of reach, it is important to have leaders in Lansing who will work toward ending the monetization of illness.

I have a job interview call at 9, so of course in my dream it was 9:49 on every clock. I was trapped in an rpg, and couldnt leave until I found the NPC from earlier in my dream to talk to. I checked a lab, an elevator silo, and a windy, rusted overlook which wobbled from some engine unseen. Ahh

There is a STARK difference in the focus and seriousness of candidates in our race. I continue to focus on the difficult issues our community faces. We will keep fighting for policies that people are asking for help with.

If you pardon all the white collar criminals that exploited and scammed people, realize you are simply removing the system that protected them from mob violence. Im not saying its right. Im just saying these systems were agreed upon under an auspice of settling disputes without bloodshed.

Got another mile in. Eating better. Drove 280 miles for work today. Lots of car singing. Lots of worldbuilding in my wee brain. Daughter is doing better. Meeting the new boss tomorrow.

If I tell you Im mentally ill and worried about my survival and erasure, and you call me an uninformed moron, you're getting called an ableist piece of shit. I can call people names too. Sorry not sorry. Fucking psyop bullshit

I dont think some things deserve less attention, but I do believe in burnout and oversaturation. I am not a stone. I am a person of little means. I can only stare at agony for so many hours in a week. I have no agency to affect change to stop these horrors in this system. My speech isnt free

Didnt make it a mile today, but I did keep to my diet and got my sons room cleaned for him. He was pretty pleased and I think that counts. Unfortunately, I had coffee, bean dip, and lean chili today, so I'm a dutch oven terrorist. I am a monster.

Off to bed I go. Another day another mile. But no coffee and trying to go 3 days off the adhd meds to keep my tolerance down might have crashed me. Ive been flirting with diabetic issues for far too long, and this change is for the best. Whether I end up getting the job or not.

Im good to yap about whatever if anybody wants to bounce ideas off of a stranger instead of AI. I wont be as good at complimenting you, but I love a good rant or conversation. And Im in a creative writing / worldbuilding mood. Preferably here in replies.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Heres a thing I learned: being obese and a chronic heavy thc user means you can be clean for 6 weeks and wizz dirty. I was self medicating for CPTSD, and not even getting much more than a buzz at the end. Dulled the existential dread, but ultimately I dont miss it. Walked another mile.

So at 1.4 miles without hydration, my body quit on me yesterday. So today with hydration on me and a 1 mile route I did great. Lessons learned. Keepin it movin.

Had my first parasocial engagement since platforms became a thing. Never got on instagram or twitter because I wasnt sure I was made for them. But I get it. Just a few hours after I thought I was going to shit myself to death, a musician that helped me emotionally liked a comment I left them.

I was like "ooh" and immediately told my partner. So like, despite collapsing in the street, I still give yesterday a 7. I also had a great time with my kids at the Michigan Science Center where a wedding was held. So like, it wasnt JUST parasocial elation. But I get it.

Another humbling moment in a week of humbling moments. I went for what I wanted to be a 40 minute walk and ended up dehydrated, and cramping to the point of collapse. A neighbor got me the last 600 feet or so by car. Really didn't expect that. I cant remember ever deteriorating so fast.

It was always obvious Trump was cozy with Putin. But paying Putin for diesel to save his own election by funding Putins war is one of those things past Republicans would have tried to hide. Theres no Oliver North that falls on the sword for this. They dont care. Its just about power

Mike Rodgers is more like the old gray crunchy sock laying under Trump’s bed and full of his DNA than Trump’s sock puppet, but I agree with Dr El-Sayed that Michigan doesn’t need either of those socks representing them in the Senate.

Asked a guy if his morality was based on laws, and reminded him the Holocaust was "legal" but opposing it wasnt. He went to his "oof" script to say I shouldnt compare anything to the Holocaust. No comparisons made but like, some people would rather lash out than engage honestly. Its fine ig.

6 hours of driving for a delivery today I think there were a lot of correctable things that could have been addressed to make this job better but everyone on the team quit or was fired Still better than that time I went to school to learn web dev, and the guy who was supposed to train me shitquit

Im gonna vote. But I aint gonna pretend that the cheaters that are loud about their cheating are going to let the election go fairly when their freedom and power is on the line. Nobody ever addressed why Trump targeted the number 2 and 3 biggest voting machine companies but not number 1 ES&S.

Step 1: become a choo choo man. Step 2: use choo choo moneys to lay off debts Step 3: use choo choo moneys to pay someone to edit my book. Step 4: do book revisions Step 5: repeat step three and four until satisfied Step 6: use choo choo moneys to pay an artist Step 7: shop for a publisher

It is wild to me, that people will insist you decouple October 7th from what it was used to justify, up to and including bombing Jordan. We just dont want to learn from 9/11, we just want righteous anger and support for genocide I guess. Honk honk

Zionists out and about this week. Pushback against collective punishment is not antisemitism folks. Justifying violence against people by putting them into a sub class is just more hierarchal bullshit. Theres a straight line from white supremacy, Nazis, and Zionists. Dont like it? Dont do it.

Bluesky has its own set of bots and zionists? Eesh. Willfully misunderstanding situations to promote yourself on a platform is very 2016. But life on these things is all about pearl clutching bullshitters. Theyll claim the high road while running your likeness through AI without your consent.

People aren't going to convince me John Brown was wrong. Unsuccessful in some of his plans, sure. But a Project 2025 supporter said "This coup will remain bloodless, if the left allows it" or something to that nature. It was sinister because there was already blood, they just dont count ours.

I need another anime where the bad guy gets turned into a human knuckle. No sexual violence, just good old regular revenge slop. Punching up, never down. Blargle bargle

Fatigue. Dread. More fatigue. More anxiety. Every sign declares their hatred of the community, and their desire to see me written off and dead. Eager death cultists, happy to write off as many lives as they can in the name of Christ. Proud of our suffering, proud of their part.

Applying for a new job, and while Ive not used THC to treat my CPTSD for six weeks, I can't seem to allow myself any confidence it'll go my way.

Anyone who feels their lived experience justifies the dehumanization of others isnt a safe person. They arent an ally. Theyre not fighting for human rights. Theyre just another monster looking to justify their violence

A real person made an argument that placed heterosexuality as inherently misogynistic. Comphet, could certainly be interpreted that way, especially depending on how it was framed. They wanted to make the statement and walk away from it. I think people should close their comments for that.

Annnd now anyone who thinks their framing is inherently toxic is disrespecting womens experiences. Me thinks if you cannot see men as anything but misogynistic, then you have a misandry problem. Or you're too traumatized to exist in coed spaces. I do not like triggering people. I have CPTSD. Stop
