I'm sure this has nothing to do with my journalism
I have been so busy dealing with personal shit I've forgotten bsky exists. Quick update: my AA has been awarded! I walk in May! (Bay area hmu! 💙) Today I got my German visa extended & no longer have a bluecard (my visa matches my spouse who has PR now). I'm still desperately looking for work
Incredible news to check the internet before bed to omfg
Yesterday I got an email from twitter saying my account was suspended for violating the rules.
I haven't posted since last fall.
I sent in an appeal but haven't heard shit. My last posts were about #Project2025, #ShinyHappyPeople season 2, and my college fundraiser 🤔🤔🤔
Life update: I have a meeting to submit my graduation petition at Laney next Tuesday. I got into Utah Tech as a transfer for my BA and hopefully I start in the fall. I meet with LEA to get my spouse visa extended so I can stay in Germany until I can get a visa on my own.
I still need a job though.
Today I raced the DHL delivery to my apartment and I won.
Hey US, it's midterms season and I am available to make your websites!
I use mostly WordPress but can build on whatever CMS you prefer. I only have one class this semester so I've got time on my hands, hmu!

Less than $800 away from being able to cover my last class that starts on Monday!
Please CHRIST look at the UK; Starmer’s Labour didn’t win the last election; the Conservatives lost it. The thing to do is to *BURN AWAY* Schumer, Jeffries et al through direct action, protests, primaries. You and I are in charge (sorry! but also: congrats!) Catch up with us, Dems, or be retired.
I need to restart my fundraiser to cover my last class ($1361) bc the class I needed that would have fulfilled two reqs in one wasn't available. I was hoping I'd be able to cover it solo but the nebenkosten fucked me over. I will update the GFM later, but meanwhile: gofundme.com/f/makekieryn...

Do I have any trans followers from Maine who are part of organizing efforts against ICE?
I'm in MA and can travel to report on Maine happenings, but I won't unless I can connect with people on the ground who would know my work and have reason to trust that I won't exploit people or sell them out.
I ate lunch and went for a walk and now I might nap :P
Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
Cannot stress enough that you can just do stuff. You don't need permission. You can just do stuff because it needs to be done by someone.
I am so exhausted because every morning for the last 9 days I've woken up feeling like I spent the night fighting bears. But I am also so antsy because I just injected 3 months worth of testosterone into my butt.
Inside me are two wolves: one begging for walkies and one desperate for a nap
Self injection #2 done. Really rude that it's impossible to find a non-transphobic endocrinologist taking patients in Berlin rn.
If you find yourself in a situation where cats need to be herded I will trade my xp for money and come with the whole adjacent skillset
There's something to the way that Starmer finds his backbone when the threat is to Greenland instead of Venezuela. The something is racism.
(well, really just the Official Transcript which will at least be faster)
Yeah that's the plan I just need the degree first
Look I just need to be hirable in europe okay. I need the US to last long enough to mail me something that says I was actually educated.
Really not enjoying the rapid fall of the empire vibe 2026 is bringing right before my last college semester starts
Look the 3rd Day of January 2026 was not supposed to be hold-my-beer-lets-start-ww3
2026 is 10 years divorced, 10 years on HRT, 9 years since starting college (graduation in may!), 20 years since "graduating" highschool, and 4 years in europe 😱
