It really was! Just like old times. ☺️

Look! It’s me talking about cool stuff with another cool person, @shduetzmann.bsky.social

THIS is what dems need to be saying. STOP using (though accurate) oligarch, plutocrat, kleptocracy. those words don't mean jack shit to your average american. if you can't define a big word in 5 or fewer little words, DON'T say it. if you can, say the little words: RICH GUYS STEALING YOUR MONEY.

I just can’t believe how stupid he is.

I have and I do love her posts. I followed her on here and it might help. I appreciate the suggestion!! Still rebuilding from leaving fb.

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization. WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go. The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO. With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues. We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

I open my news app and scroll through the headlines. Then I close it without reading a single article. I tried to watch PBS Newshour last night but couldn’t listen to him speaking to an international audience. I don’t know how to stay informed and not lose my mind.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Apparently it needs saying, again, as autism is used as an excuse for bullshit, again, but:

AUTISM DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS AWARE OF YOUR ACTIONS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES. IT MAKES YOU HYPER-AWARE AND ANXIOUS ABOUT THEM.

Gross. 🤢

Wouldn’t that be lovely??! ♥️

I was also dx’d at 49. It’s a special thing to have gone almost half a century not knowing and now to have my eyes open to who I really am. ☺️

This is giving me some hope but it’s such a fragile thing, hope.

So many old, rich white dudes making so many important decisions that impact so many people who have NO CLUE that they are being manipulated and played this way. I’ve been literally sick for days over it and feeling so utterly helpless.

I took off everything meta except insta because I can’t quite launch a business without some presence there. I am shifting to this for promotion tho & hope to ditch all meta products soon. I’m just worried every new thing will be bought up eventually. 🙄

I was trying to figure that out, too. I have restricted funds at the moment so I can’t go too crazy with things even with my desire to find sources that don’t make my heart ache knowing I’m supporting soon to be trillionaires.

This. I was shocked to learn this wasn’t something everyone did.

His writing is outstanding. I subscribed. I might need to pay for a subscription to substack. Seems like a lot of good content is coming out of there.

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Thought I’d share this here. As a place holder of a moment in time, to mark this day of reverence.

This is brilliantly written and spot on. I am humbled. Thank you for sharing.

Come check out my new business and podcast! I’ve got a long history of podcasting & what I share on this one often leaves me absolutely bare. I surprise myself sometimes on how vulnerable these discussions make me. #adhd

Ok. Let’s make this happen.

I’m looking for late diagnosed neurodivergent folx who love podcasts and pop culture. 😄

It’s dawning on me that almost every one of my favorite tv shows stars characters with undiagnosed ADHD.

Anyone else? Just me?

It’s one piece of my emotional landscape and one I am very much looking forward to getting to know.

Unmasking is such a devastatingly beautiful and amazing process.

My anger is still sitting with me, an uncaged tiger that isn’t waiting to attack but instead I know will nudge me when I need to protect myself, will help me say the hard things and confront people when they are hurting me. ⬇️

I was about half way through my workout. So I thought about how I could process my feelings while I was swimming.

So I imagined punching his sweet, lying face with every stroke.

I swam the longest distance I’ve gone since I started swimming in September.

And I felt amazing afterward. ⬇️

I came to the end of a lap and as I reached to grab the edge of the pool and check my time on my watch it hit me.

Anger. Deep, heart thumping anger.

And I was so relieved. It was like opening a cage door and letting out a roaring tiger. ⬇️

I was swimming yesterday morning and I was going over how things went through the breakup, realizing all the ways he lied to me and how he finessed the truth. The more I thought about it the harder I swam. ⬇️
