Trying not to cry in the car right now because everywhere we've tried to go for dinner, and we're on like eighth place, can't accommodate my wheelchair. So everyone's grumpy and hungry and been driving around for an hour and a half because of this. 🙃
The last hostess gave me a whole ten minute explanation about why none of the wheelchair accessible sections can seat five people. Like for fuck's sake I just needed a yes or no not a diatribe about why I'm inconvenient

this is the movie I've been complaining about for a while.
It's rly not revolutionary to depict Nazis in a light that shows that ~we're all human~

When I thought I was done with school I donated all of my school supplies to these Guatemalan babychildren who live in a garbage dump by creating lean-to's from found things, most of whom are being raised by single young moms who never got a chance for formal education themselves
It's called Safe Passage/Camino Seguro, it's a pretty great organization and I know lots of folks who've worked with them over the years. The founder unfortunately died in a car accident when she was still just in her thirties, while in Gautemala doing the work.

Okay I have another wildly offensive & ignorant thing that that old racist lady said to me the other night (that I had to double check to make sure it was as ridiculous as I thought it was).
So this 81-yr-old is talking to me about all of her health problems. A lot of people do, bc my health problems are often visible which many take as an invitation to share (which I usually love, bc it's rly hard to find fellow sicks offline!). So I didn't rly think anything of it.

WOW YALL I JUST HAD THE BEST TIME
I'm sorry my twitter has devolved from occasionally informative political commentary into sharing details no one asked for about my extremely irrelevant personal life, but YAAALLLLLL

So I'm traveling to the other side of the country in like uh 3 hours
I'm going to Oregon for a few days with my family because my cousin is getting married. I am extremely dreading the plane ride for some reason (usually don't mind air travel) but weddings are fun so that's cool
It will be both the second time in my life and the second time this summer that I am going to the west coast. last time was for a wedding too.

I woke up and kept getting sick (that's how I politely say 'vomit' so as to not gross out the healthies) and then I started poking the shmot and then I stopped getting sick (again, read: emesis), and I can't believe people are in f*cking prison for this
People are in prison.
Like, process that.
Process that prison exists.
And then process that prison exists, and that we put people in it for things like selling a dime bag to a grandma on chemo to help pay off their student debt.
That is a thing in the world in which we all live.

I miss my grandma :( Florida is so expensive. Gah.
I just. She's 98 and has a better memory than I do, she's sharp as heck and was 18 when she was taken to concentration camp. I just want to live near her and write her whole story!! but every apartment near her is bananas expensive (not to mention my expensive disabled existence)

I've been away on a pretty fucking magical trip since Friday to a place that's been in my friend's family for a very long time, that I've been going to since the fourth grade, that's away from absolutely anything + everything.
It's been exactly what I needed to get some clarity.
First, I really need to be in an environment where, even if I don't feel loved/supported/wanted, I *at least* am not made to feel unloved/unwanted.
Secondly, if I ever want to live on my own I will need help, and I v much would rather have a service dog than a helpful human.
Good morning,
Marilyn Monroe was a communist Jew who was killed by either the FBI or CIA because she was going to come forward with a journal called "the red diary" where she kept written record of her conversations with the Kennedy bros whomst she was shtupping.
Have a good day.
She also had endometriosis and bipolar and was a chronically ill icon. #TrueFacts
