They feast! Not pictured is Hazel who gets locked in the basement. Otherwise she'll eat everyone else's food!

There’s a particular sound, within calls to resist, that’s perked up my ears: Joy as an act of resistance. It goes: Call your representatives and protect your neighbors, but don’t forget your whimsy. This is not a message for the status quo, for the privileged folk raising their kids to tell my kids, “If people just followed the laws, they’d be fine!”

For those of us who run on empathy, knowledge, and a sense of justice, there’s an invitation to resist and not burn out. Even as we fight, living and relishing shouldn’t stop.

…

I’ll save the deep dive into unmasking, masking, and humor for another day, but I cannot return to my cave before mentioning, perhaps, the most critical precursor to experiencing joy:

No expectations.

No demands.

Just me and my overgrown synapses throwing a strange party that no one has to RSVP for.

It was recently my birthday, and my dad and sister got me a Skullpanda. And I really wanted this specific Skullpanda plush pendant Because it was made and based on Kuromi, one of my favorite Sanrio characters as well as comfort characters in general

And fun fact about Skullpanda plush pendants: the legs move, as well as the eyes (if they are opened).

So I have been having fun messing with this little plush.

And for those who don't know what SkullPanda is, they're a brand of collectible artistic toys designed by Xiong Miao and sold by PopMart. They come in figurines and plush pendant keychains and my Skullpanda is an official collaboration between My Melody and Kuromi from Sanrio (aka The Hello Kitty Company).

All in all, I love this figure, I love cute things and plushies, and this fits the bill. And I can easily clip her onto my bag and take her with me.

I'm on call. But at least I don't have to change my sleep schedule anymore.

Im not allowed to jet a real job because parents dont want me having one and i dont have any means of getting to a job. For some reason im hyperfocused on wanting to make money online and im not quite sure why that is? Ive tried things like surveys but soon found out there worse than slave labor.

I do have ssi but most of it has to go towards my parents, i also heard getting income effects ssi income.

Went and played Dungeons and Dragons with my friends yesterday. Hauled all of my pizza gear over to my friends place and made pizza. Could of been better, but still good. Had a good game. Came home threw up violently and went to bed. Have no clue what caused it.

Janelle “Sky” Hansen was removed from her apartment in Minnetonka, Minnesota, in the northern USA, by Hennepin County Sheriff’s deputies. Those deputies had a court order, implying that at least one judge also participated in the commission of this crime against humanity. The deputies lied that they had no choice in the matter.

From the bodycam video, it’s clear that she received nowhere near 14 days’ notice. It looks more like 14 minutes.

Sky was evicted in June, 2025, and remains homeless to this day.

So long story short

I am writing to say hi and hopefully I can find answers lurking in the shadows by everyone here.

Long story:

I guess I believed that I didn't have this and have struggled a lot over time with the thought of always thinking what I might have and why I felt so different from neural typical people

I haven't had a formal diagnosis, but I have been unofficial diagnosed with ADHD,anxiety and depression and a nurse off had mentioned that I might have Asperger's but again no formal diagnosis.

I think I might also display signs CPTSD symptoms and I tend to have a proverbial forest of these lists of traumas albeit it small but are so...persistent that it is quite extensive in the sense that I could write a short story trying to explain myself with how I am feeling with this.

I think because my younger brother is mentally challenged to the point where he cannot look after himself, I think I have been hesitant to claim being neural divergent in fears that I might be thinking I am "broken"

But I have been, I guess, exploring, trying to understand what I might have because I have been forced to really try and make progress in my life after being "paralysed" by not feeling I am making any progress in my life.

I have always been something of a black sheep, generally have been of strong opinion and I am observant enough that I am decent at reading people to the point where I can call out other people's bs to a reasonable degree.

I believe I am strong willed in the sense that I am not too easily swayed, but tend to fold with a "second inner self" that is on watch once I have experienced something bad. I also feel like I can be caught up in a collective "energy" too

My life is one of wearing masks and figuring out the right "persona" to put on for the right "performance"

I also struggle with interpersonal relationships as I have a tendency to overshare and be verbose in both my words and actions.

I have a bad tendency to trust and that has led to me being taken advantage of a lot, which has a knock on effect of making me be very cautious of people and their intent, which leaves me feeling very lonely and unloved as I struggle to make connections

I have difficulties making connections because I generally scare everyone away with how "heavily burdened" my soul feels and that leads to struggling to regulate and being force to have to mask up and live with the tiring burden of wanting to "fit in"

I am unemployed, I have been looking for employment and struggle to find many jobs to apply to because of a lack of confidence in my skills and feeling very self-conscious because I am in student debt that I cannot pay and I am forced to stay with my parents which also makes and leaves me with guilt as it is a household that is hanging on by the generosity of family.

Just overall life sucks and I do not know what to do with myself as all roads feel like a dead end

Now, would you like explain yourself?! No I would not.

My truck got hit on the highway yesterday. Just some body damage. But my body is still dealing with the stress of it today.
