My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.
Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.
Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?
Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.
Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.
Stop escaping it.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.

That is because he is a MORON!
he's not. he's a smart guy and a friend of mine.
he's been a strong advocate for team reality, albeit a more recent one.
you just have to realize that many of the folks that have been drawn into this are moving into a field that they have not worked in before. it's complex, the biology is something they have not assessed before, and drug and vaccine research and studies are a highly specialized field in which not many are conversant.
i just happened to know how it worked when this all began beca…
It’s been weird to see half of my friends and colleagues with physics degrees be on team reality from the beginning and the other half be on team lockdown. Never quite understood what caused the initial split. It was not necessary to have had the requisite background in vaccines, viruses, and epidemiology to have been able to synthesize the data as it came in. One just needed to go in with a distrust in the authorities own skills and motives.
As a “critical” cultural medical anthropologist, I have been intrigued at this divide. Yes, I believe Gato is correct about the arcaneness of biological understanding beyond the reach of many, abd that lead untrained folks to accept the narrative. But it goes beyond that as well to a level of trust in authorities and degree of sensitization (or rather far too often, desensitization to pressured efforts to pushing specific ic narratives, castigating earnest clinicians developing early treatment…
it starts at birth with trauma training using a neurotoxic injection, continues through critical five years with 72 doses. All while held in your parent's loving embrace, mostly during preverbal years.

Pretty grim and depressing, with little protection beyond a discerning rebellious parent!
