The level of ignorance they display about topics they think they know about, how easily swindled they are hurts.

It’s not like they’re uneducated; my friend is a biologist and her mom has a Masters Degree. It’s unreal to me how entrenched conservatism is in half of their family

I’m living with my childhood friends mom, a seriously conservative black woman with a Trump 2024 sign on the Window and Fox News on the TV 24/7.

It’s brutal.

I keep my door shut because the lies make me rage.

I love her, her daughter my friend who is also very conservative but

So stop thinking it’s failure and getchu a case manager and get your shit back together. And so, I did.

Hoping to move soon.

I finally swallowed my pride and said:

You can’t do this shit alone anymore. You’re in a pre-hoarder’s house, in one 10x13 room after being in one room without fresh air for a whole year. Your meds are not working but that’s to be expected after the same stuff for 17 years.

I’ll be truly glad when I finally get a proper therapist.

Another breakdown that needed me to give my shoelaces to the nursing staff, a mini vaycay from the gravity of my situation and yet I still want to sleep forever.

The entire year of 2020 I was completely burned out from tech having been let go from my first role in February. I decided I’d take up film making and photography. I shot two films, one an experiment, the other a wanna be documentary. This is my favorite: youtu.be/XYppTSc7e…

The Lab "In this series I am going to chronicle the next few months of settling into a single room while waiting for affordable housing at the one place I lived when I returned to my hometown from Pittsburgh. I need a place to talk about it, and this is my personal blog so I can post whatever I want. I named it Lemonade because these past few years have been filled with rotten lemons and piss and vinegar yet I am planning to make the best out of the hand I have been dealt." Display shelf update I am reworking my display shelf. The room is incredibly small so I have to be mindful of the stuff I put ... tiff.wtf

I can stand w/o help.

I can walk well with my walker.

I left that 10x15 room I’d been living in, invalid, since April 22.

I got down my stairs for the first time in one year.

I moved in with my friends mom, out on a tree-lined street, w fresh air.

I need to slow down and be more deliberate about what I do.

I’m entering my mid 40s, experiencing perimenopause (all my girlfriends are tbh), and that carefree, seat of your pants, young tiffany is no more, at least physically. Mental exhaustion and aging will wreck you.

I’m also walking with my walker and standing on my own. My legs are still wobbly and it will take more time to get the strength needed to support me on these weak ol legs but it’s been a year and it feels incredible

Still experimenting with the Fediverse.

I know I’ve been absent but the past 8 months have been torture.

But I have incredible friends and cousins who have given me money and a place to stay for as long as I need.

The housing shortage is killer but I’m ok now.

Sometimes I disappear from the internet because there are certain periods of each month that wreck me. And have always wrecked me. And when I don’t sleep well it gets worse. It’s also kind of creepy how well the ad insertion in podcasts are getting as they keep spamming me with menopaus... tiff.wtf

@jean hey Jean thanks. I'm formally diagnosed with looks around ... things... but this is a whole other thing.

I’m not trying to get on here and whine but I think I may have the ADHD epidemic. Many of my friends have been diagnosed and when put on Adderral etc they were no longer anxious and stuck. I can’t do anything at all; I can’t write, I can’t pick up my iPad to read RSS/blogs, I can’t open... tiff.wtf
