I saw something in the news today that truly took my breath away. If you have been paying attention to U.S. politics over the past few days, you’ve most likely seen this woman:

This is Bishop Mariann Budde, and on Monday (Trump’s inauguration) she led an interfaith prayer for Trump and the incoming administration. During the service she asked him to have mercy for LGBTQ+ Americans and undocumented immigrants. This was badly received by the Trump administration (as expected).

After seeing headlines about this woman, I read something that I wanted to share. In 1998 a man named Matthew Shepard was murdered for being gay. I’m not going to get into the details of his death on this post, but please be warned it is extremely triggering if you do choose to read more on your own. Matthew Shepard’s death caused a lot of change in the U.S. regarding how LGBTQ hate crimes are handled, and laws that were passed to protect LGBTQ+ people.

Now you’re probably wondering what Matthew Shepard has to do with an Episcopal bishop. For years after Matthew Shepard’s murder, his family had held onto his remains, too scared to lay him to rest in fear of his final resting place being vandalized. In 2018, Budde had his remains interred at the National Cathedral, which is also the place where the interfaith prayer from Trump and his administration took place. The impact of this really had an effect on me. Budde could have led a non confrontational prayer service, and chosen not to mention the harm that will come to the people Trump and his administration are going after. Instead she chose to call out hate and fear in front of some of the most powerful people on the planet, and at a place that has such a large historic meaning to the LGBTQ community.

In the next few years there will be many challenges in protecting free speech, standing up against hate, and protecting those in our communities. But I would like to believe that for every Donald Trump and Elon Musk, there are people like Marianne Budde. There are those of us who can’t speak up for themselves, so it’s important for those of us who can to amplify our voices, even if it’s not the ‘popular’ thing to do.

“And he said you should apologize. Will you apologize?

I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.” - Mariann Budde’s response in a Time interview

Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

January 2025:

Donald Trump pardoned 1500 people who participated in the insurrection of January 6th, including those who violently assaulted and nearly killed police officers.

Donald Trump has declared that trans and non-binary people don’t exist.

Donald Trump is working towards firing everyone in the government who isn’t loyal to him.

Donald Trump has effectively fired everyone who he claims is an “illegal DEI hire” …whatever that means

Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreenent and the World Health Organization

Republicans in Congress are trying to pass the Laken Riley Act to, effectively, round up every immigrant in the country, including LEGAL immigrants

Donald Trump removed caps on prescription drug prices.

Donald Trump wants to withhold federal aid to help combat the LA wildfires and help the thousands of people who have been displaced and lost their homes.

The Department of Justice has put a hold on all civil rights cases.

Donald Trump has cut off aid to Ukraine.

I’ll keep adding to this list as new things come up and, again, please feel free to add anything I’ve missed. I know that in this world of constant news it’s easy to forget, so let’s give our future selves a little help!

I just read that Donald Trump and his circus took down a website called reproductiverights.gov

This was a website to help women learn about their reproductive rights in the US and to find health care.

This is absolutely disgusting so I’ll share in this post some resources in case you need them:

You know how I know I can never come back from being a fat girl?

Sometimes I'll be just sitting and my hand just sort of... instinctively goes to my belly. I'll caress it or squeeze it without really meaning to, especially while I'm eating. If my tummy is bare, I'll gently trace my stretch marks or touch my belly button. I find myself just enamored with how it hangs when I bend down, or when how it rests on the bed when I lay down.

When I'm eating, I can't stop when I'm full anymore. I've tried. I have to keep going until my stomach is tight. If I'm not snacking near constantly, I'll get hunger pangs within an hour. And anytime I go in a store, I instinctively look at snacks even if I don't get any. I almost always get at least a bag of chips or a soda though, or a donut.

It's changed my relationship with food, too. I'm acutely aware of how many calories I put into my body every day, and I get a little turned on when I break 2000 by 9 AM. When I'm cooking just for myself, I find myself subconsciously doing things like increasing portions or adding extra butter or sugar or what have you. It's like second nature at this point.

Even my boyfriend has changed how they interact with food, and with eating. Not in the sense that they eat more or worse, they don't. But I'll see them eat a little slower when we're out, and if I'm done before they are (I almost always am), they offer to share, or ask if I want dessert. They'll come back from an errand and have snacks that they got just for me, or when we're out they'll offer to get me a treat almost every time.

I still do all the same stuff I used to. I busk on the street and at the pier. I camp and hike and bike. I go to shows almost every week and I work outdoors. It's just that I can feel how much heavier I am while I do it, and food is almost always involved, if not close behind.

It's changed me, and for the better~

Get shockingly fat. Get so fat your friends and family barely recognize you anymore and are shocked by seeing your new size.

[rustedgear27]

Maybe this is the year you stop pretending that you don’t need to stuff yourself full to be satisfied. That being fattened up doesn’t excite you. That you could back out any time. You know it’s not true. I know you have the insatiable desire to be fat. To gain. Blow up.

Might as well give in.

Drink up for mommy

[rustedgear27]

♥︎ funnelling heavy cream into each other until we can’t take any more, then laying there on our backs, pinned down by our massively overfed bellies. moaning in pleasure, unable to move we just lay there, helpless and horny. too fat and lazy to even pleasure each other. lightly jiggling our stuffed bellies allowing our own fat to pleasure us instead ♥︎
