It stings that my weight loss, weight gain, body hair, head hair, clothes and over all physical appearance are always a topic of discussion that my family members consider to be acceptable, but the topic of my disappearing rights or that I wad right about the rise of fascism is off limits and I need to tone it down. Good to know where I stand.

If you ever want me to avoid you, tell me that you wanna remain ignorant on a subject I'm talking about. (And I mean forever ignorant, not just needing a break from taking in new info for a while for your mental health.) My brain will flag you as an unsafe person indefinitely.

This week at work in my small midwestern city I had a faith-restoring conversation with a leftist in her 90s and got called an ethnic slur by an old conservative man IN THE SAME DAY

I took a gorgeous selfie today. That's it that's the post

Faked positivity so hard during pms week that i sent myself into a fibro flare up and people were still upset with me because i will never be enough for this ridiculous fucking world #pmdd #fibromyalgia

Today a close family member apologized to me for openly supporting parts of the MAGA movement to my face and said they denounce all of that now. They said that some things I communicated to them and some other family members last year when I was very upset about my healthcare rights being infringed upon, along with what they have seen lately about ICE in the news, has made them change their mind. I was really touched. I feel just a bit safer in the world than I did when I woke up this morning.
