This sums up my mental state perfectly.

My desire to stay informed on the current state of American politics because I live here vs. my desire to remain mentally stable for longer than five minutes: Unstoppable force vs. immovable object

This is how it was for me too. I sacrificed my family, health and personal life for years. Then COVID hit and I found out that the company did not prioritize me in the same way that I did them. I crafted my exit plan then and was retired within a few years.

It took me most of a year to relieve my body of the work stress and loosen my joints that were in a permanent state of hunched over a computer.

Now in my second year of retirement, I have started going to the gym and taking classes. There was never time for that before. There was always a crisis.

knowing you'd be there gave me the courage to show up. that woman terrifies me. i can't face her on my own. you saved me, sophie. i was in big trouble back there.

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

I am XXY and am posting because this is so validating.

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, uaing the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now
