Overcoming Agoraphobia: Summer edition. I find dressing brightly helps me feel safe and confident when I leave the house, so I've committed to the bit. #MentalHealth #Agoraphobia #Colourful #Pink

Getting a job and becoming a functioning member of society while overcoming my agoraphobia is really empowering and all... But some days are REALLY hard and I weirdly miss the days on end in bed maladaptive daydreaming

I got a new hat, and while it is being pink and very spottable, I still need to jazz it up a bit. Really stoked I got into embroidery for silly things like this. #Pink #Embroidery #Rainbows #Crafts #Crafting #hedgehog

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans

They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy. Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity. No court hearing necessary. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Florida Passes Bill That Lets DeSantis Remove Local Elected Officials From Office For "Promoting" Pride

The bill could heavily impact LGBTQ+ activities throughout the state, and is the latest exercise in the erosion of democracy there.

We lost one of my favourite people today. She was always loving and supportive of me, even when it must have been VERY difficult. I'll miss her so much, but am thankful for the extra time I got to spend with her the past couple of years. Here's to the best grandma I ever could have wished for 💖

So, I'm overcoming agoraphobia and have started a new in person job that requires commuting via public transit. Thankfully it's winter time and I can get to work looking like this (blessings to Pit Viper)

When I’ve written about Elsa chatbots and Marvel actress deepfakes, people always eagerly respond that Disney will surely sue the AI companies. Didn’t happen. Instead, they joined forces with them. You can’t trust corporate America to do what’s right, not even for them, once they smell money

I tell people all the time not to loan me their phones or computers because I've got a forcefield that fucks with technology. Today I took out the gas station's system the moment I made physical contact with it. The man working was baffled & my wife said "Blame her, she's got a magnet in her head."

I worked my first in-person shift today in nearly three years. I've been struggling with agoraphobia, and I'm finally feeling confident and safe enough to work in person again. The universe lined up and I was offered a position that feels custom made for me. I'm filled with gratitude right now.

We may not have won the WS, but I love my Blue Jays so so much. We had an incredible season and have many reasons to be happy and proud today. Including but not limited to: Ernie's sassy slutty little slide moment.

I've finally named my guppies and would like to share: First up we have Neptune, he's definitely the "prettiest" and likely the gentleman my partner will use in her breeding lines. I love his rainbowy-pink iridescent scales, and his unique tail pattern

When my great aunt passed away I acquired many little trinkets, one of which was a tiny old Gillette razor holder. I recently discovered it is perfect for my thread wax and I get to use something that reminds me of her every day #Vintage #Trinket #Embroidery

Yesterday was a bust, rain and exhaustion kept me inside. But today I rode an electric bike from the park to a nearby plaza for the first time! Glad I've got a partner that encourages me to join her on little adventures #Agoraphobia #MentalHealth #Progress #PhysicalHealth

I've managed to go out 5 days in a row. Some outings were short and no further than the park, and last night my outing took me to the Jays game with my family. I'm feeling so proud of myself 💪 #Agoraphobia #MentalHealth #Progress

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Sometimes "busy hands quiet mind" can only go so far and we've gotta set stuff down and deal with what's getting to us. And by "deal with" I mean have a smoking/venting session with your amazing partner and get the support you're needing
