Ok, no sleep for me tonight. I'm just going to be here blubbering while watching the #Rent 30th anniversary stream. Thank you @chrisgeidner.bsky.social for posting about it! 32yrs ago I was going door to door raising money & awareness for HIV & getting spit on. 30yrs ago Rent changed everything.

This whole thread. I'm a Gen Xer & I remember the green shag carpet in my bedroom & the wood paneling in the family room. The appliances were avocado green. Both sets of grandparents' homes were literally yellow from being indoor chain smokers. The 80s you see on tv were the insanely wealthy too.
That's the bit everyone gets wrong. They try to look like the 80s/90s and they pick whatever was in fashion or what was on TV show sets at that time. Most people lag about a decade behind whatever the furniture and decor trends are because they only buy stuff when they need to replace them.
I'm not sure I'm coming back from this year's #OctoberSlide. I haven't ever been this sick for this long & not have it fuck up my #baseline. The inability to breathe & sleep is destroying the rest of me. Add the stress of being unemployed w/no support & I'm toast. #disability #MCAS #Lupus #LongCovid
TMI Warning The thing I hate the most about flares is the constant feeling like I need to pee. According to the interwebs, inflammation can also affect your bladder, which makes you feel like you have to pee. It's fabulous that it's every 30min even when you're trying to sleep. #disability #OctSlide
The parties are the same. They've spent the last two years showing you exactly how. Believe them. They are not opposition. They are grifters with better PR. They actually have you all salivating to sacrifice a tiny minority grp in hopes YOUR life isn't taken next. Guess what? We're all next.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.
I'm horrible at binge watching. At most, I can do 2-3 episodes before things start to feel repetitive. So when I say I just inhaled all 7ep of East of Eden on 1 sitting, I want you to realize how rare that is. Fucking Florence Pugh. She really shouldn't be that talented or that beautiful #EastOfEden
Just going to keep tapping the sign. Every time another democrat throws the Trans community under the bus, I'm going to be here to remind you that we do not sacrifice our fellow human beings. Full fucking stop. This post is about Josh Turek.
Y'all are seriously just cool w/politicians sacrificing trans ppl as long as they have the right letter by their name. You love your "lesser evil" b.s., how about trying "evil begets evil." I will not sacrifice a human being & fuck anyone who would. If some may die is the best you can do, step down.
And most of us won't ask for help because we've tried that route already & most of the time it's ignored or excuses made. So we stop asking. When you're already running on fumes, trying to convince ppl to care about your basic human needs AGAIN is exhausting. At some point you just stop.
Have you ever set up a mealtrain for a friend with a chronic illness rather than a friend facing a brief period of being incapacitated for surgery or having a baby? If you have you are a real gem. A rarity. If you’d consider doing that for someone you need to offer proactively. They won’t ask 4 help
"Older" is now 30+. THIRTY. Older used to mean 45+. I had my 2nd at 32, I was not considered an older patient at all. Why are we do insistent on babies having babies? Let kids live a little. Thirty. FFS.
The U.S. birth rate fell to its lowest level ever recorded, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The drop would have been greater, but women over age 30 are having more children. n.pr/4BwslEf
TFW you finally reach out, against every instinct you have, but because you recognize that you need help. And it's ignored. Again. This is why I'll never believe "if you need anything I'll be there" because it's ALWAYS a lie. Every time. Every. Single. Time. Which is why, there won't be a next time.
So before I log off to have a breakdown, anyone that can use kn95 masks in a small adult/child size? (Im 5'/120lbs & they're too small for me.) Theyre Bonafide masks, resealable packs of 10 (minus the 1 I tried) x7 in a variety of colors. I can throw them in the mail this wknd. No charge #disability
@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social tagging you in case you can use these or know someone who can. No pressure, I know you're having a rough go right now.
My masks just arrived. I was excited to find smaller masks cause the kn95 masks are too big for my face. These are too small. I'm fucked & this time to the tune of $75 that I don't have. Anyone else want to kick me while Im down? Cant order groceries & cant find masks, guess I'm officially bedbound.
Placed an instacart order. Im disabled, ill, & cant drive. Everything is marked do not replace, refund. So this bitch gave me less than 2 min to respond to a text & decided to replace an unavailable sale item. That costs me an extra $20. So I'm fucked. Either I don't eat or I get screwed #disability
This flare, illness, whatever, continues worsen. Haven't slept in 2 nights, the leg twitches, the itching, or the choking on mucus makes it impossible. I'm pretty much crawling from bed to bathroom & back. I'm in so much pain. If this is my new baseline, pls just put me out of my misery. #disability

When I was a tween I used to get harlequin romances from the library. The covers embarrassed me so much (I'm the shyest extrovert you'll meet) I would "hide" them in a stack of other books. The librarians were always so wonderful & never gave it away that they could see my smut of choice.
Took a browse of the books at a local thrift store today, and found some gems. First up, HEAVEN'S GIFT by Janelle Denison, a Loveswept paranormal from 1995, and part of the "An Angel's Touch" series. I almost wish I'd gotten it, purely for that hot pink drop shadow. 💖 #romance #romancelandia
I'm sorry, but going after a powerful Black woman over marijuana is just a little too on the nose. Not only is this regime killing &/or destroying every minority they come across, they're boring. Unoriginal. Played out. If we ever get out of this (ha ha) I hope we can be more creative in our justice
I need Ohio to remember she's still anti-trans. You elect her, you're responsible. Which means holding her responsible. We all have tragic backstories & I admire all shes done to make her life better. That doesn't mean she gets to throw trans ppl under the bus. We're counting on you. Same for Texas.
I truly hope that writers, artists, & creatives who had their work stolen by Ai win all the lawsuits. Just sucks that the rest of us who had our stuff stolen will never be compensated. 30yrs of writing in my Google docs was scraped, but 0 recourse. Feels more & more like we're only worthy if popular
If we survive & theres another election, I'll vote for anyone who bans "merch" for politicians. It doesn't have to be a legal ban, just a whole lot of mocking & shaming. Can we pls make politics boring again? I have wasted more of my life on this bullshit, I'm exhausted, & will not go thru it again.
I dont care if a senator is gay. I dont care if theyre in the closet (many ppl are because it's not safe being queer). I dont care if they hired an escort. What I do care about is this becoming another 'let's mock the gays & belittle sex workers.' So pls put down the Ai, stop the cross dressing slop
So, word on the street is that news is dropping tomorrow about a sitting U.S. senator getting caught paying male escorts. It's supposedly dropping in the late morning. A number of media folks claim to be in the know. I guess we'll see where this goes.
