It’s international women’s day and I’m currently lying on the bathroom floor with a migraine trying not to throw up *again* and this is not very being a girl’s girl of my body

Idk I just think if you have decided to be childless your body should respect that and you shouldn’t have to have a period

Like my ovaries and uterus should just listen to me and close down shop without medical intervention

Get it together, ladies

An earthquake on Friday the 13th means something right

Listen I have a Ring camera but it is inside a chicken coop. All that thing sees is the chickens sleeping and laying eggs and occasionally me when I collect the eggs. It delights me knowing they’re collecting useless chicken data.

I went to a local craft store today for embroidery supplies and I am grappling with excitement for my upcoming projects and existential dread that I am at an age where this is exciting to me

Would like to thank the public commenter (whose name I missed) in the Utah HHS House committee meeting who told the committee, “have the day you vote for.”

Cutting. Inspiring. Incredible work.

Something something separation of church and state something something

This is an honest question as I am listening to a house committee meeting and almost every single person who speaking in support of anti trans bills is referencing God/Jesus/Religion:

Does this happen in other states besides Utah? And if so, is it taken seriously?

*his number is public information on the utleg site before anyone gets weird at me about posting it online okay

4/4

Trevor Lee cannot have a single moment of peace until he is voted out of office

His phone number is 8017217896*

Last time I called him to ask him to not do a thing, he himself answered. Tell him what you think of his ideas.

No peace for bigots. Fuck Trevor Lee. 3/

1. Replaces the term “gender” with “sex”
2. Removes protections for gender identity (ie. legalizes discrimination)
3. Prohibits trans adults from being around children for more than five minutes
4. In custody disputes, requires courts to rule in FAVOR of the parent who doesn’t support their kid 2/

In this house we hate Trevor Lee and in this house we are ANGRY at this piece of garbage bill he is sponsoring in Utah’s 2026 legislative session:

le.utah.gov/~2026/bills/...

The sum: 1/

Been thinking a lot lately how my mom was 9 years old when women were given the legal right to have credit cards without a male co-signer

Do the people who say “the second coming of Jesus will happen soon”
realize they are asking for the same thing as the people who yearn for aliens to invade and take over

Different bow, same present

Remembered today that when I had to go to the Utah Republican convention last year that they played “Midnight Sky” by Miley Cyrus at the end as everyone was leaving

I am so curious who picked that song and also why and did they realize how gay it is

They had to know what they were doing right

I found my first grey hair today

Seems appropriate for going into the second full week of 2026

Don’t let the bastards get you down and fuck Trump.

5. REST: Make sure you are resting and recovering. Your best tool against fascism and resiliency against developing trauma is taking care of yourself. Replenish your capacity with rest so you can do what you are capable of, which is fighting fascists.

4. ADVOCATE: There is research that shows advocacy helps with resiliency and hope building. It does matter, if for not other reason that it keeps you going. That’s a good enough reason. Call your reps. Protest. Donate. Mutual aid. All of it.

3. PLAY: Yall, I’m so serious that you need to go be silly and weird. There’s a reason the fascists don’t like art and play. Go do weird fun silly things. Be a little freak. Embrace being a nerd. Humans need play and fun. (It also helps with connection and community building, see point number 1).

2. MEDIA CONSUMPTION: Your brain processes visual information differently than written and auditory information. Please be mindful of how you’re consuming news! You don’t have a watch all the horrific footage to be informed or care about horrific events.

1. COMMUNITY. Cannot emphasize this enough. Trauma doesn’t developed because of an event, but because of what that event meant and represented for us, and when we can’t find safety after the event. Humans need connection. If we don’t have connection we don’t feel safe. Be in community.

I’m a therapist and I’m seeing so many people with secondary trauma symptoms, and well yeah, obviously, since we are living through absolutely traumatic events and horrible circumstances. So here’s a couple things you can do it about it:
🧵

My brother got the shingles virus in his 30s but instead of it expressing normally it was a couple sores on his scalp and then the virus went INTO HIS BRAINSTEM.

He was hospitalized for several days, had to get spinal taps, missed Christmas with his family.

Get the fckn vaccine.

I got shingles at the ripe age of 21, couldn’t sleep for a week due to pain/itching/discomfort, the steroid medication prescribed to treat it caused an intense panic attack, and I have nerve damage where the shingles were.

The new iPhone update reminds me of 2003 in the worst way possible

I don’t want to be reminded of seventh grade like this on a Monday morning

Monika Lewinsky 💀

Just experienced my first ever family gathering where I felt loved and safe and comfortable the whole time??

Almost 34 years of living and damn, some of you have had this the whole time???

My spouse just told me he needed alone time with Olivia and I was confused until I heard Olivia Rodrigo playing in the bathroom where he is currently getting ready for bed

All I am asking for in renting out my basement apartment is someone who is respectful of boundaries and reliable and who would also be trustworthy enough to, in an emergency or even if I’m just out of town or something, give my diabetic cat her insulin shots

Does this person exist in SLC
