  Instead of "3 good things," I give you: "Rose, Bud, Thorn" ⬇️ (Rose = happy thing Bud = thing I'm looking forward to Thorn = tough/sad thing) For today: 🥀 Rose: wrote approx. 60 seconds of my new choir arrangement, this time it's Training Wheels by Madelline the Person (song's total length is about 3:30, this one has been relatively simple so far) 🌹 Bud: signed up to go to the local aquarium with a local community group 🌿 Thorn: didn't get to ride my bike...

  I just realized, as a musician and composer, I have a favorite note, and Im annoyed that its D natural bc what in the straight-coded bullshit is this 😭 why couldnt it be something more respectable or at least ambiguous like A natural or B flat 😭 ----- My partner, trying to comfort me: the heart wants what the heart wants, you dont need to be scared of Ds, they wont hurt you Me: you dont know that, you dont know my life 😭 Partner, knowingly: is this really about Ds tho? Me, weakly: yes, but m...

  Ways to participate in tomorrow's #mayday #strike that you may not have realized count as participation and arent abstaining from work, school, and shopping: * work slower on purpose * cry in class on purpose * spend cash at locally owned businesses * reduce internet & power use * visit niche websites instead of mainstream ones * do analog stuff * do a favor for a neighbor Small things from individuals add up fast Comment suggestions i left out 🩷 #generalstrike #resist #community

  Loving reminder that your power is most potent in your local jurisdiction Your voice may not carry thru the whole nation but you can definitely blast some eardrums at your local city/county board meetings 🩷 they may not care at first but they start caring real fast when they realize how many of your neighbors agree with you and also vote 👀 Get to know your state reps too, let them know you see what theyre doing and you have OPINIONS about it 📢

  Periodic reminder that the only way to waste art supplies is to not use them You deserve to use your #art supplies, regardless of your current skill level 🩷 This message brought to you as I stare at a blank piece of charcoal paper and agonize over whether I deserve to destroy it with my unskilled hands, to say nothing of whats about to happen to these innocent, unsuspecting oil pastels 😭

  On this #TransDayOfVisibility Im taking a moment, represented by this post, to remind myself (and anyone else who sees this) that, as The Oracle would say, "being trans is like being in love; no one can tell you youre trans, you just know it, thru and thru, balls to bones" I struggle with my gender in the sense that Im very confident that if I say Im trans, absolutely no one* will believe or validate me, because I dont "look/act trans enough" somehow. I h...

  Have you heard the protest solidarity phrase "don't split"? If you havent before, now you have What does it mean? We get it from Hong Kong, and it means "When you share the goal of a group of protestors, do not crtiticize their methods of resistance" Doing so is tone policing, it delegitimizes the cause and gives the oppressor grounds to disregard and retaliate against resistance members You dont have to like protestors' methods to support...

  This just in: Ironing is actually super relaxing when youre doing it of your own free will and choice, rather than under threat of violence from your employer or mom

  @bservies@twit.social assuming youre genuinely wondering, theyre trying to provoke a violent response from us so they have a pretense to escalate even further. We're not giving it to them. Same as any other nation whose gvt has been overtaken by fascists, we dont owe you a blockbuster movie performance for our resistance measures to be legitimate. Either stand with us or sit all the way down.
