If there is one thing that’s never worked, it’s trying to legislate sex work out of existence.

A Fertility Update and Getting Roasted by My Own Mother

So more bloodwork results are rolling in and after a minor panic attack due to reading the results wrong at first. I’m pretty pleased. Everything is within normal range, except for one reading that is slightly elevated and all it indicates is that I’m likely to have sensitive skin and seasonal allergies. Which…I do.

I am more allergic to things than ALMOST anyone I know, except my sister.

I was not expecting an allergy test on this panel, but I guess it just gets thrown in with the rest.

Saying I have allergies is like saying it snows in the North Pole. We know this. Everyone who has met me knows this.

This season, I am covered in mosquito bites and have to take Claritin AND Flonase daily. But I had to reschedule my appointment with the fertility doctor twice because my period was late. I realized it was the Flonase that was causing me to be late, so I stopped taking it, got my period the next day, and was able to schedule my appointment (which was time dependent on my cycle).

So at the appointment I was off Flonase for like a week and I swim a lot so I was covered in mosquito bites and sneezing constantly.

I go to relay the news to my parents and got fucking BODIED by my own mother. I am burnt to a crisp.

what I really have trouble thinking about sometimes is the fact that Hamas dragged Guy Gilboa-Dalal and Evyatar David out of the dark, out of their tunnel and chains and starvation, forced them to watch the last release ceremony, forced them to beg for their lives on camera, then dragged them back to the tunnels and the chains and the torture and the starvation, back to suffer in captivity, and it’s been months since then, and the world does not care

the western media barely reported that this happened and it vanished in an instant. it happened with the Red Cross sitting in full view.

Hamas has the power to release them every second of every day, but they have never felt the imperative, because from day one the international community abandoned the hostages. worse, the world wasn’t only silent, the world was vicious, tore their posters down, has mocked their suffering and deaths, says they deserved it.

this was a level of psychological abuse and depravity that should only come out of dystopian horror movies and it happened in front of all of our eyes.

they’re still there in the most inhumane conditions, trapped in the nightmare.

I'm not posting the people being shitbags in my inbox over chiropractors but, I will say this: if you're one of the people going, "Well I've never had a bad experience, you're just fear mongering" I need you to know it's taking everything in me not to reply with "Glad you've been lucky. Hope it stays that way."

Because that's all it is, babes. Are there some chiros who lean more toward physical therapy and don't play Twister with the human spine? Yeah. Are they the norm in America? Fucking no.

This shit it not regulated. There's a reason it's $40 to see a chiro and $120 minimum to see a physical therapist. One of them has a doctorate. You are paying for the medical experience.

Then why was it such a chaotic disaster of a show? Why did it abruptly end early before most of the awards were given out? Why is this the headline I’m seeing from Deadline about it? Genuinely what was going on behind the scenes there????????

Make sure you don't accidentally punish people for communicating their needs and boundaries. When someone cares enough to have the uncomfortable conversation, that's a compliment and a clear sign that they are invested in the relationship. Yes of course it's uncomfortable to hear that something you've been doing has been upsetting someone you care about when that was never your intention, but people generally only bother to have these conversations with the people they want to keep around - the people they trust to care. If they just didn't like you, they'd probably just try to avoid you. So make sure you don't make it into a more punishing experience than it has to be. Try to see the care and the trust behind the criticism, even when it triggers uncomfortable emotions. It's a good sign that they're there telling you.

When people say that Ukraine cannot win, look at all they’ve done with ridiculous restrictions on their capability to fight by the West this entire time. Don’t tell me they can’t win. They’ve never been allowed to fully fight.

I love that so much!!! Keep me posted on any ways to support you in your journey!

you work in media accessibility??? That is so cool! I am planning on getting a certification in accessibility to help move my career forward. Though i’m in furniture so it’s different considerations. do you do any work with accessibility for games?

I literally cannot say what I work on at all for legal reasons. I would get fined a shocking amount of money. Like poverty-inducing. Media is really strict about that stuff. But that’s SO COOL about furniture!!!!!! I wanna know everything about that!!!!

But we all feel like this.

The nuclear engineer feels like this. They think they aren’t making the worthwhile discovery. They aren’t doing the actual important work. They go to a lab and might type some stuff or run experiments.

The person with a big family may feel they didn’t set a good example by modeling a career-focused life. They worry they may not ever even contribute to the great discoveries of the world.

The person who divorced may be jealous of a married friend who is jealous of her!

I think the need to be The Important Person in any social circle is very human but also fundamentally flawed.

As with all things, the importance is the world we build together. And we all build it equally and together. Even the great leaders and inventors and scientists and artists are nothing without all the other people they help and lead and heal and reach. The reward for a doctor is a patient who lives a life. Not a patient who becomes a world leader.

Being alive is the goal. Washing some dishes is the goal. Having coffee with a friend and loving a plant and microwaving ramen is the goal. Because it means you’re alive. And the world is shaped by you because of it.

don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.

Has it occurred to you that your stance on the Israeli settler project aligns almost perfectly with those of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Kristi Noel, and other right-wing politicians? Does that give you pause? Do you ever wonder why Republicans have been consistently anti-Palestine, going so far as to claim that any anti-Israel sentiment is antisemitism? Maybe I am "pro-pal," but at least I can confidently say that I don't have any views in common with Donald Trump.

I don’t form my views based on whether they align with public figures like Trump or Musk. My position on Israel isn’t shaped by US partisan dynamics, it’s rooted in identity and lived context. Political overlap doesn’t imply political allegiance, and I’m not in the habit of outsourcing my moral reasoning to party lines.

That’s SO COOL!

I don’t need disability-specific credentials. My job is mostly to help make up for senses (sight, hearing) that is lacking. I can’t say much more than that. So my expertise needs to be writing and language so I’m best able to communicate complex ideas with specificity. Plus I have to work with talent as well, so basic directorial and performance knowledge.
