I want to protest, but even if it's peaceful, it doesn't do shit except get people hurt or arrested. I have a kid. I wanted him to have a future. We all deserve that. I can't just sit by & watch it all burn. I'm losing my mind. They're dooming our planet, our kids. We're not fucking angry enough.

If any kids read this, please do your homework and try your hardest, even if it sucks. Finish high school. If you have to repeat a year or upgrade, do it. Then -unless you want a medical degree- don't go elite. Take courses online or go to a small community college. Learn from my failures, please.

Life has to be hard before it gets easier. Things seem bleak, but our best is the best we can do, so do as much as you can while being mindful of your needs. Don't abandon yourself. Change whatever you can. Seize the day. Don't be a bystander to your own life if you can help it. Be the best you.

So do it, even badly/half-assed. U are far more powerful than u think u are, and showing up is enough. Set the foundation for ur future. Be kind to u, bc the pressure isn't necessary. Trust that u already know what to do, bc u do. Don't be afraid to fail sometimes. Fail, & try again. It's worth it.

Consult a financial advisor. Aim for bursaries/scholarships if u can. Compare loan rates at different financial institutions. Watch youtube vids on courses you struggle with. DON'T use AI. It's not accurate, & you will immediately get flagged (not to mention the unethical part). It seems stupid, ik.

It may feel unnecessary. I promise you it's not. Do the shitty work, but don't give up your hobbies, & take breaks or your body will take them for you. I promise that you can get further on less work by simply being consistent & doing the work even if it's "bad". Trying is the part that matters.

I write because if I don't write, the demons will claw out of me in the form of manic impulses such as texting my ex, getting stoned in public on a Wednesday, or scaling a large structure with a cigarette in my mouth at 3am just to scream at the air.

I must also fuel my ego with the delusion of potentially becoming wanted by society someday to keep myself from launching my vessel full force into the abyss. You know, just casually. #bipolar #starvingartist #writer

Go on and raise the price of food again, & witness how French everyone becomes. You think that dissent can't exist under the threat of force? You think that your power is so great that you'll be fine on the same sinking ship? People can only take so much, man. Have you learned nothing from history?

Once, an ex of mine offered to hang out as an olive branch. Mutual friends were supposed to be there, but then they left. He drugged me & I woke up to him raping my unconscious body on the floor, covering my mouth when I cried, & refusing to let me leave afterwards by hiding my clothes. #iamjanedoe

The thing that gets me the most about Cornell is not just that SA is so prevalent, but that being betrayed by a community you trust in is also a horrifyingly common thing. The evidence of a societal flaw could never be more glaringly obvious, & yet the world acts like it's unlikely. #iamjanedoe

Once, my friends were supposed to join a party, & I was the only one who showed up. When I reported what happened, everybody took his side. My friends ditched me for him. The entire school who once thought he was invisible suddenly saw him as a victim. I was even bullied by teachers. #iamjanedoe

She's missed you. Knights of Guinevere returns October 9. The season will feature 8 episodes.

I've struggled enough. It's my turn to get rich and tell the cool backstory of going through all the bad things ever. Inspiration. I win. I am the hero, nothing can hurt me anymore, and I can eat shrimp platters with hella cocktail sauce

I keep forgetting that i do not have a peener. I was not born with a peener. I have never had a peener. But did 5 year old me tell everyone i had a peener? Yes. Does my 28 year old pre-transition ass still feel confused when I put on pants and have nothing to tuck behind my zipper? Also yes. #trans

Wholesome murder robot show is coming to Blu-Ray with tonnes of extra wholesome goodies!

I went to a gay bar on Sat night. The thought of being shot up there crossed my mind. I told myself that it doesn't happen very often. Now somebody shot up a gay bar in Arizona & killed two people, with more #LGBTQIA+ businesses on his hit list. Imagine how many folks crawled back in the closet

Cried a little walking around Barnes & Noble thinking about what it would have meant to see so, so, so many covers featuring same sex couples when I was younger.

When I was in my horrendous #postpartum period, I had to use one of those sit-down breast pumps (which was donated to me) until I could afford the ones I could put on my bra. This meant that in between breastfeeding a newborn and pumping, I spent much of the day glued to my couch. (1/6)

The rest is history, and now I'm collecting merch as a hobby and beginning to learn about #animation myself. I have housing, a job (about to have a second job soon), social supports, am on better medication, and I am working with a lawyer to see my son again. (5/6)

A chaotic and messy 2 years later (including experiencing #abuse, #homelessness, and struggling to crawl out of that #depression hole), I was at one of the lowest points of my entire life. (3/6)

I scrolled through some #tiktoks and found one about #TADC episodes I didn't know existed, which were on #Youtube. I got back into the show, and then eventually watched episode 7 live as it came out. It filled me with inspiration. (4/6)

I thought #TADC looked interesting, so I put it on. At that time, only the first 4 episodes were on #netflix. I enjoyed it and then forgot about it. I forgot about a lot of things I watched, because my brain was lost in the abyss of #postpartum isolation. (2/6)

I've been crying about #DollyParton passing like all day. I wasn't a superfan, just a fan, but she represents many qualities I respect and admire, and she was a gift to the world

i'm lwk scared to like or share anything now bc people keep becoming #problematic & I've already had people get mad at me for interacting with them. Like bro if I knew, I never would have

#PrideFestEdmonton if you want public protection for an event, you hire a security company, not EPS. Not to mention that your statement still doesn’t explain the marching band.

I’m honestly scared to start off in #animation because I often hear all the ways that #animators are dealt a bad hand. Those of you in the industry, do you have any advice for someone just starting out? Sometimes I feel so discouraged, like I shouldn’t even try, but I feel like it would give me joy

Lowkey why I wanna fanimate some TADC stuff to music

As someone who wrote (in their head): - A two-part original story set to the Ghost in the Shell OPs - A Tales of Symphonia final dungeon/battle to the first Soul Eater OP - A Pokemon-themed animation to the DDR remix of “Butterfly” I FEEL PERSONALLY AND VIOLENTLY ATTACKED AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT

My books will be on my shelves where they belong. A few friends used to laugh at me for keeping what they called obsolete things like vinyl records and old books. They all agree it was a good idea now.
