“I’m hopeful but I’m also realistic. Most days, in my pocket,
I carry a small, sharp knife.”
from Elizabeth Schmuhl’s “#83”
Had a really odd and long dream this morning that I can't remember now, but there was magic and neighbors and Safia Nolin had retired and moved in next door. C'était weird haha!
"I didn't know I had a dream. I didn't know until I saw you." but it's about seeing a trans person and knowing for the first time that you can exist differently and in a way that you desire but couldn't articulate before!!

nighttime is going to be fucked up under the trump administration, as he plans to get rid of the weird bug appointed by joe biden to be in charge of it. "the bug is too weird it freaks me out yucky", said the president-elect when asked about the nighttime department. insider sources say he plans to appoint an obscure youtuber known only as "gamer rickey" to the position.

There's a place just down the street where they chop off angel's wings and fry them in oil. You should try some. Oh, the angels? Yeah they're regular people now. Simultaneously their freedom of flight is ripped away from them violently and yet at the same time they are granted freedom from the yoke of divine subservience so it's bitter sweet for them or some gay shit like that. Anyways the wings are really good.

I have a fandom friend (we have exchanged messages and have wished each other well) who l unfollowed recently (his personal account, not his fandom one) because he disagreed with my saying that Kamala Harris is pro-genocide. I've been thinking a lot about what my litmus test is when it comes to liberal politics because a lot of my friends are more liberal than me (older friends). I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to be friends with someone I barely know and don't share any intimacy with who makes excuses for Zionists or Zionism. And I don't want online connections with people I'm not friends with who defend Kamala Harris or other liberal genocidaires. That's the limit for me.
I have long-time friends who are as liberal than this guy, if not more, but we have a connection that I value deeply and am willing to stay in the uncomfortable conversations with them because I know they value humanity and are caring people. It might change one way or the other as we have those conversations, but for now, I'm here for it.
I feel okay about that.

"Do I deserve this?" "Am I worthy of this?"
So irrelevant. Do you want it?

seething about the fact that i will never experience photosynthesis in my own useless cells. i bet it feels so good when the light of the sun both warms you and fuels you at the same time. a bone-deep satisfaction mixed with a heated sugar-rush and endless brightness. not that i would fucking know
I missed 2 half days of work this week because of my period and I barely slept last night and as a result am feeling lazy and tired, so I didn't go to my appointment or to class. I have an appointment at the barbershop later today and I think that'll be it for today's activities. I'll stop rewatching Killing Eve and being on my phone so much this weekend and actually see people and study and have therapy. I'll feel better and time will pass. But ughhhhhh what a week!
