This mutated strain spreads rapidly among mammals, including cattle, and is moving faster than others. 14658246

Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 11/02/2025“my phone is dead.” I check his charger. Tell him it’s plugged in. He tells me he unplugged it and couldn’t see the time, so he thought he had to go to work. I am, at the same time, absolutely spooked. This man never wakes up. 150

My partner is awake, bug eyed, staring at me in fear. “WHAT TIME IS IT???” I am so dumbfounded, “Uh, 1am?!” He looked relieved, then just goes … 1110

Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 06/02/2025I think of all the negative things to be said about social media - of all the terrible people who own them - I thank it for many things. For some of my closest friends. For teaching me of new things. For the ability to be independent financially. For all the terrible, there are droplets of good. 1251

Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 29/01/2025The time for action will present itself to you, and you will act. But you need to titrate what is coming in. To let what is happening take up all of your time and energy is to let him win. It is what he wants. Get off your phone. Kiss your friends. Hold hands with them. Read a new book. Just breathe 1101
Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 29/01/2025I am so privileged to have two amazing folks who are willing to tell me when they have no idea what happens next, they can’t tell me what to do, but just breathe. Not everyone has that right now, so I will be that for you. Right now your job is to survive. It is to breathe. 190
Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 29/01/2025 She says just go one day at a time. You can’t help everyone. You can’t save everyone. Just find one thing to fix today. She tells me to get off the internet, to find new spaces to exist in, and I can hear my dad in the background adding to what she’s telling me as I just cry and break down. 1101
Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 29/01/2025It’s so easy to feel alone and defeated right now. I called my mom crying, telling her I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, fully in a meltdown, and she says right now you’re not supposed to do anything. Just breathe. She said to me it’s so easy to catastrophize and takes so much energy not to. 2402

Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 28/01/2025I’m not in a position to fully delete Tiktok right now, but it could be a place like IG & exploring more long form content. 140
Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 28/01/2025I’m pretty good w boundaries with where I scroll & how much time I spent. I did some light scrolling on Tumblr & honest I enjoy that & the photos more than I do IG right now. 250
Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 28/01/2025I was thinking it would be a good space to put content that I already put on Instagram & my blog (graphics, writings) on. And it looks like you can schedule in advance, too. Not a space for short form content but I’m not angry about that 220
Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Little known fact about me I’ve been on Tumblr for ages under either an old account or one that doesn’t have my name - primarily just so I could be there and not be seen/not feel the pressure of having a platform & being “the Chaotic Witch Aunt” there. But in this case I mean like, be a blogger. 040

Frankie Castanea @chaoticwitchaunt.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Okay, I don’t have the energy for that. So since you’re recommending it, you’ll personally take the time & energy to find me a job that’s disability friendly, doesn’t require a college degree (which I’m working on getting) and cover my rent, bills, & college expenses while I switch? 130
