Call your reps. Do it now. Not "Ill do it later," no, do it now! The President has threatened genocide on a people, there is no greater moment for you to do the right thing and call your reps demanding action.
I hate making phone calls. I called all three. Do it scared.

Hey, I have to put this out there. We're coming up short and I've already run out of several medications.
If you're able to share that would be great - but make sure you're taking care of yourself. All I'm asking for is to share this where you can.

Thank you!
It is perhaps not helpful for everyone, but as someone with phone call anxiety I think the the posts going 'suck it up and make your phone calls at the bare minimum holy shit, action before self-comfort' are good and helpful, actually.
Anger lives side by side with hope. May those oppressed outlive their oppressors, may the memory of those lost outlive those that killed them, may we look to the stars and find wonder and joy at the little planet we call earth.
Wrong that cannot be repaired must be transcended.
We live in an evil society and I hope when american imperialism falls it falls so thoroughly it can never be rebuilt. Justice for the people of Iran, justice for the people of Lebanon
It does not taste like chicken, but it does taste like chewy salty savory slightly pickled flowers in a way I enjoy
My friend you know I am always happy to infodump about food.
A can of this stuff (in brine, not syrup, important) drained and chopped in long slices parallel to the ribbing. Marinate in sauce (bbq, jerk seasoning, gochujang, take your pick) and then pan fry with sizzling oil for 5-10 minutes
You look at a can of jackfruit in the brine and go 'idk about this' and then you pour on some sauce and watch it start falling apart into tasty shreds in the pan like ohhhhh OHHHHHH
Food from the past few weeks! Biscuits with tempeh sawmill gravy, cheese toasties with creamy tomato dip, poutine tots with arugula, jackfruit jerk tacos

Spent the one year anniversary of my nervous breakdown feeling excited about my work, reading articles, engaging in creative writing, drawing, planning my garden. Not back to 100% but I guess being patient with yourself pays off
Squints at this. I finished two drafts and sent several intimidating emails last week despite the lingering anxiety. Sometimes things get better

BABYYYYYY smooching between fuzzy ears mwah mwah
Oh. OH. Hm that's. Yeah.
Would deeply appreciate help. I am a disabled trans man from the global south. I am also the only person in my family who currently works. I have a life limiting condition that will end my life if not medicated. My insurance is only 350 usd a year, I dunno what else to do but ask for mutual aid
Buries my face in your arms and goes pbtpbtpbtpbt
Soon it will be one year since I went nonverbal on the couch and realized I'd hit an exhaustion-crisis point I would not simply be able to power through like I had before and the memory of that still stings like hell
Me grappling with the aftermath of my executive function collapsing like a house of cards is like c'monnnn I remember being able to do stuff, I remember being able to sprint through tasks without my chest constricting
Real bullshit how a nervous breakdown left me with massive anxiety about hitting "send" on emails. I need that skill! Give it back! I remember being pretty good at emails!
😭 next time we have big snow you stay inside where it's warm
And then I went inside and made curry and rice for dinner. Trans rage and trans nourishment, paw in wretched paw #promptlyeating
Filled with trans rage RAHHHHGH shovel the snow for several hours
never shrink or dilute yourself in hopes of appeasing others with a veneer of pleasing personality. it's not worth it. yea, some people will hate you, find you annoying, maybe talk shit a bit about you, too. who cares? worry about the ones who showed up to the freak flag you've planted in the ground
I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.
I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.
I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.
Stitch come over-
*looks outside at the snow*
...come over in a week after the roads have all been plowed
Also idk how shakshouka is supposed to be made, but I've found I like it best when I treat it like a tomato curry and put cumin and curry powder and onion-pepper-garlic in there with a dab of bullion
I have discovered that if I take the bread remnants that usually go moldy bc we forget about them, and turn them into a cute little bread basket, my wife will eat them
Literally always a spot for you at my table no matter where or what that table is
