I ate like two dates and a single piece of cheese--and I edited a page and a half...I might need to bounce for a bit bc I'm having some incredibly dark thoughts that I thought I healed from years ago perhaps healing is a myth, idk. I'll get more editing done later.

This indigenous people's day, remember that indigenous folk are people with ongoing cultures and socio-political identities and struggles.v We're here and now and genocide is an ongoing project. Take this time to learn whose lands you're on and the struggles they're currently facing.

my favourite is when the mask slips and the mental illness shows and the responses I get are "but you're the strong one, I can't deal with you when you're like this" so I am always okay, trust me, nothing is ever wrong!

The readership of my blog has been low recently. I've seen no new free subscribers. The last three major essays received more than 50% less views. My email opens rates dipped below 30%. Engagement rates are lower. In other words, please show my essays some love: tenderlyborderline.substack.com

but it's one of those things, similar to how I'm dogshit at expressing my emotions (there's a reason for that but I don't want to talk about it on main) I probably come off as emotionless and inconsiderate, but internally I'm like beating myself bc I think I'm a dogshit friend lmao

I struggle a lot with time blindness, yeah. I've learned ways to make sure I'm not late for planned hangouts or work, but in almost all other context I have no way of inherently being punctual bc I have no sense of time passing

A full suite of signed copies is now available at Carmichael's Books on Bardstown Road, if you're around Louisville (or want to give them a call and order a copy to be shipped!)

💔 Please don’t let Ahmed die alone.

His abdomen is still open. He cries in unbearable pain, and there is almost no time left for the surgery he desperately needs.

We are terrified this may be our last chance.

🙏 Even $5 could help save him. Please, help Ahmed now.

Today, I left the doctor with a broken heart: Elias is getting worse. I swear, there is no improvement. On my knees, I beg you: please help me raise €300 for his eye drops. Imagine your child losing his last light. Please,don't abandon my son. 💔

Not feeling so hot today, maybe I can just distract myself by working--it's like the one thing I'm good at lmao And maybe I can then earn that relaxing holiday evening.
