It's my current favorite song and the one on loop in my brain. Appreciate knowing I'm not alone. 🩵

Fucking fucked

You aren't here and yet the world turns. Wtf? How is that possible? Love you forever my girl. I hope you're at peace.

Started to untangle myself from Amazon. My subscribe and save is empty. Moving purchases to other platforms and stores.

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Excerpt from Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny:" "1. Do not obey in advance." "Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."
