sorry i was gone for a while i just got back from the mountains
#so my body crashed and burned while I was in the mountains#isat#isat odile#in stars and time#day 111#or something i forgot#ok it Has been almost a week now since I got back but it's a funny way to format a return post of sorts#Anyways sorry for literally not posting anything for 2 weeks! It's been a stupidly busy month#I'll still be busy for the rest of this month unfortunately but I'll still try to post something from time to time#in the meanwhile. odile gets a vacation. and a bit of my suffering along the way#edit: I should clarify that I'm alright now!! T'was just a weird few days lemme tell ya.#mayhaps 3 12 hour shifts right before a mountain trip was not the best idea (remember to do exercise sometimes guys...)

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:
“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”
#pr manager is like: andrew… this is the last time i’m gonna tell you#andrew: whats the point of democracy if i can’t exercise freedom of speech#pr manager: andrew it’s no longer about your image#at this point we are concerned the fbi is going to show up#andrew: neil has connections. i’m fine#they thought marketing andrew on social media would be good#they were sooooo wrong#because now andrew has a place to share every insane thing he’s ever thought#for instance—a tweet that just says ‘an alien googling: human clothes’#he’s on there advocating for lgbtq+ youth you KNOW HE IS#he’s cursing and mildly threatening members of congress for imposing these disgusting bills#one day he tweeted ‘does mitch mcconnell know he’s dead yet’#when mitch mcconnell stepped down from senate andrew tweeted ‘hopefully next he steps down from life’#unsurprisingly: this endears him to some people and makes others fucking hate him#and he’s such a shit. he does not care either way#he’s kind of just like: pr manager. you gave me a twitter and told me to tweet. i’m just doing what you asked me#they’ve threatened to change his password so many times#they actually did once but andrew reported the account so many times for defamation and fraud that it got suspended#and he made a new account out of pure spite#his pr manager is like: andrew nobody is going to want to sign you because of your public image#and andrew is like: ?? ok. they can lose every game then#(he knows he’s the best goalie)#ok i think that’s enough for now. however i will probably be back#andrew minyard#aftg#tfc#trk#tkm#the foxhole court#all for the game

thinking about how much time and mental effort I put into making sure my dog is exercised and enriched every day vs the new (largely north american) trend of never walking your dog because "they get enough during the day" (it's one hour of high arousal sports training) (where they sit in a crate for 40 mins of that) (and maybe a romp in a postcard-sized backyard if they're lucky) ((it's not enough for most dogs)) ((they're bragging about it))
#dogblr#dog training#dog enrichment#i feel like people took the 'be careful not to create an athlete' and sprinted in the opposite direction#all the way to 'your high drive / high arousal dogs should be satisfied with one hour of cumulative engagement and#23 hours of being put on a place mat'#wheres my post like 'if i didnt control my dogs access to resources would they still like me?'#its not good positive engagement when your dog is starved for something to do#that's just modern kennel life but youre patting yourself on the back because your dog is allowed on the couch#i woke up in a spicy mood this morning and made the mistake of looking at instagram#eta if youre being normal about it and trying your best with your dog this isnt about you#if youre bragging on social media about how you dont exercise your dog but it explodes off a place mat because its so pent up#then look inwards

Look, I understand the desire for a revolution. I do. And it’s possible I might be convinced that we need one, at some point. I am open to the idea that I might be wrong!
But…literal Marxist theory posits that the way you get to a communist society is by working your way through a democracy. That’s the first STEP. Then you move to democratic socialism, then socialism, then communism. Anything that moves us away from a democracy (as I’m concerned another Trump presidency would, that man wants to be a dictator so bad) is a step AWAY from a leftist agenda. Because sure, maybe you get your ‘glorious revolution’ if Trump is president because he literally makes living conditions so unbearable that it triggers widespread revolt but from a critical Marxist standpoint you’d be revolting to get back to a democracy so you can start at that step all over again! This is a big reason theorists posit socialism/communism in the Soviet Union fell apart; too big a change too quickly and skipping steps in between.
We also have to consider that getting to the point of full blown revolution would mean catastrophic levels of suffering for people with lower socioeconomic power—POC, the queer community, folks in poverty, people with disabilities, etc.
AND any US dictatorship or similar government has an entire industrial military complex to back it up. A successful revolution would necessitate either getting that military complex on board, in which case you often end up with a military dictatorship (you can imagine how well THAT goes) or beating it which…I’m sorry, even the entire civilian population of the US cannot do. The military is light years more advanced than it was in Marx’s time, rebellion is so so so so much more complicated. It also sets a precedent for violent exchanges of power that tend to set countries up for a decades/centuries long tailspin of military coups in which the people with the most gun power (again…usually not vulnerable groups) win control.
I’m not trying to be a fatalist, here. I actually think fatalism is a tool of the oppressor and we have to fight against it tooth and nail. I’m just trying to logic out what will happen if Kamala/Walz lose and Trump/Vance win. What does that really look like? What is the next step, the next outcome that will lead us to a better place? And I just cannot, for those reasons above, see a Trump presidency leading us anywhere good. That IS what we will get if people hold out on voting for Harris as a form of protest. I’m all for protest!!!!! But it needs to be in a different avenue, because you have to consider the real life repercussions not voting will have.
I mean, what are the options? What happens if people protest by not voting? (...this assumes you don't start from the position that Harris and Trump will be literally NO different in office, which, well, that's another post)
1. Harris wins regardless, but a signal is sent that people to the left aren’t appeased and democrats need to do more. How effective this would be in moving actual policy is debateable, and it also puts the moral onus/responsibility conveniently on others just so you can feel like your hands are clean while simultaneously risking a worse outcome. Not cool.
2. Trump wins. Far more likely because, as we saw in 2020, the country was nearly evenly split on Trump vs. Biden. Current polling shows more or less the same with Trump vs. Harris. If the left stays home, the likelihood Trump wins skyrockets. So, what happens next?
2.A. Trump wins, but the world doesn’t end. He doesn’t do anything too terribly awful. The left has ideally signaled they will only vote for a Dem if they are liberal enough. I seriously doubt Trump won’t do anything too terribly awful though—look at what his first presidency did!!! Look at Project 2025!!!!! So. Other option.
2.B. Trump wins and the world is on fire. He strips away womens’ rights, queer rights, he tanks the working class and worker protections, starts a war, starts a dictatorship, whatever. He already started a lot of this during his first presidency. In this case, either…
2.B.1. This is still not enough to trigger a revolution. Vulnerable people are hurt and die at a far greater pace than under a Democratic presidency. We go on as before, fighting to regain key protections. Perhaps the Dems put forward a more liberal candidate to try and beat him next time, if democracy still exists, but likely? We end up with a conservative centrist anyway.
2.B.2. Trump does trigger a revolution. All I can see is how many vulnerable people would suffer and die. The military HAS to be involved and either takes control of government (terrible start to socialism!!!!!) or kills revolutionaries en masse and the rebellion fails. If civilians somehow defeated the US military, which is an astronomically low possibility, then we set up a more liberal democracy...how, exactly? With all the conservatives and moderates still in our country? Honestly, HOW. Kill them? Try and make them ‘see the light’? That happens via education, not a civil war. We could try and go straight to communism but theory and history show us that doesn’t work—you have to work your way towards it through democracy.
It is SO much more efficient and would put so many fewer vulnerable people in grave danger to start by keeping the democracy we already have by voting in Harris and THEN working on our protests to shift the needle towards democratic socialism. We’ve seen that these protests CAN WORK!!!!! They got us Biden dropping out!!!!! Harris picked a VP far more appealing to a liberal mindset than many of her other top options! WE ARE ALREADY SHIFTING THE NEEDLE. Keep it shifting, don’t give in to fatalism, and remember that you have to go through the steps to have an actual, stable, reliable socialist or communist republic. Vote.
#politics#us politics#be kind to each other when discussing this too#I want safety for all the vulnerable people of the world too#this is my honest best perspective on how we get that#and I totally understand that people not voting as a form of activism want those things too#we have to have conversations about where that will realistically land us though#if someone has an alternate path where not voting gives us the best chance at a more just political system I am all ears#I’ve even outlined a couple possible paths above I just think they have the most marginal possible chance of occurring#and that we have to exercise the precautionary principle—the risk of it all going sideways if people don’t vote is SO GREAT that we cannot#discount it#does it suck to have to vote when you hate the whole system? sure#but in this case it preserves democracy so we can actually create effective revolt or policy change or whatever#and don’t backslide into a dictatorship that vulnerable people die en masse to bring back to a democracy

do you have a cognate
i still don't fully understand what that means ngl. and no. i'm single for life . . . i don't want any commitment. and i imagine i scare potential suitors away with my radical keefe opinions
#is that just like the keepblr way of saying “best fandom friend you get a gold star i love you so much”?#or is there like a deeper meaning to it that actually incorporates the lore behind cognates in the canon story#this is unclear to me#back in MY day cognates meant you did ahem. cognate exercises. like alden and quinlin- okay grandma let's get you back to bed /lh#keepblr#kotlc fandom#asks#anon

i’m home !!
procedure went real well, everything was really smooth and almost as soon as they said, “you can count backwards if you want,” i don’t think i even said ten before i was suddenly in recovery and sipping some ginger ale.
honestly the worst part was the iv because they had to do it on the side of my wrist because apparently my veins are crooked ?? i just hate ivs anyway so that’s no surprise but other than that no complaints.
everyone was real nice and made sure i was well taken care of (my nurse even had me pee one more time before so she wouldn’t have to do a catheter which with my history…..thank you)
but yeah, i’ll have a follow up in about a month just to make sure everything’s good and the iud is doing its thing !!
i do have some cramping and bleeding but that’s normal, although a little funny because i literally just stopped my period yesterday but…oh well !! hopefully in a few months i won’t have hardly any so this we can handle and i hace some medicine (and my ~medicine) that’ll help so i’m all set.
mom had to go run some errands so my little recovery buddy is keeping me company. also, a moment of recognition for my new favorite shirt (thank you as always, Boss Dog Art; i’ve already got my eye on another one that says, “i think therefore i am against transphobia around the world” or something like that and it’s got a cool skeleton on it; this is my third shirt from them and they’re really comfy and good quality so not sponsored but check them out, they seem cool):
#It’s been a rough week leading up to this i’m not gonna lie#one of my neighbors was shooting on Sunday when i was in the pool#which i’m used to at this point#but for some reason i got triggered into a panic attack#and could not catch my breath#could not calm down for several minutes just scream crying#had to dunk my head underwater a few times and splash myself in the face#eventually i just buried my face in my towel and screamed cried until i physically had to stop#because i thought i was about to have a heart attack#so that wasn’t so chill#spent the rest of the day shaking#guess you just never know when it’s gonna hit!!#another plane has hit the ptsd towers#sorry#not for nothing though but the shooting stopped so there’s that#they probably thought someone had a fuckin’ ari aster movie turned up over here#nope just a mentally unstable bitch doing her best which clearly isn’t great but what can ya do!!#it was kinda funny though because i’ve been hesitant to go back out there since#but finally yesterday i had even worked longer the day before so i could really enjoy it#it had been sunny all day#no signs of rain#i’m ready to get some exercise in because i knew it might be a while#before i can again so i was really looking forward to a nice 30 minute run#damned if it didn’t start raining as soon as i got out there#and that was fine#i still ran a little got my water weights in#but the kicker was i looked at the weather on my phone and it looked like it was going to keep raining#so i said okay let me just go take a shower and settle in for the night#it didn’t rain and the sun came back out so oh well!#but point is…today went well and i’m doing okay and things could always be worse so no worries <3

working on my first dnd character and. i didn't think it would be this hard?? am i overthinking it????
#our dm helped me roll the stats and figure out skills and the rest#but i basically have no idea about this character. like no backstory or motivation or even a name or a vague visual idea#and usually when i create ocs that just sorta happens but now im just???? girl who are you????#also im incredibly nervous about the game. i dont wanna fuck anything up but i know i will#not even getting into the fact that historically i dont do well in improvisational situations#(read: every time i was forced to do impro roleplay game as part of sume stupid team building exercise i ended up panicking)#so honestly idk what i expect from this#but ive been wanting to play for years and im so lucky i found a group so i should do my best#which rolls back up to. i dont wnat to fuck it up#aaaaaaaahh#my posts

i love my gym but the structure is kind of dogshit like im not sure this is conducive to anything to be super honest
#the best parts of it are boxing and not having to engage a single braincell bc the exercises are just listed for you#and i think the high intensity circuit thing works for my body quite well BUT i really love proper strength training and obviously#i am nawt getting that here#havent been in a real gym in like 8 years though and i dont want to. amen#but i DO desperately want to see how much i can leg press now bc im so much stronger than i was when i was 20#i need that ego boost bc im never lifting anything really heavy in my workouts bc theres just no time#3 minute timers w paired exercises on a 45 min circuit my ass has GOT to think long term frhdjnc#fuck me though i need to work on my footwork at home i just dont Get it 😭#shes like get in close for the hook but you need distance for the cross right before it#idk i slurry my moves too much i guess. like im not pulling my cross all the way back before hitting the hook bc im already there#i think i figured smth out today though so yay#just need to ignore the other exercise on the station and just work this thang til i get it

Okay, so I’ve been struggling with my diet and exercise lately.. I’ve gained weight that doesn’t feel comfortable and I’m seeing changes in my body that I’m not happy with and I know it’s because of not being on track or even close to being on track since before Christmas, I’m doing my best though and trying to give myself grace along with recognizing that I do have the power to make changes and work on the things I feel I’m lacking.
Today I got in a nice long nap and then jumped rope for 50 minutes! Heck yes!
I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.
#winter is hard#honeycombhank#mental health#healing#weight gain#exercise#workout#fitness#jump rope#jumping rope#getting back to it#trying my best#i can do this#happy place#my thoughts#depression#non epileptic seizures

My f/o making a soft comfy spot for me on the floor in the living room for me to pass out onto is self care.
Imagining my f/o coming with me to the bathroom so I can squeeze their hand when I'm in pain and then reassuring me and not being grossed out is self care.
My f/o reminding me to drink a lot of water so it flushes out those nasty little bacterias is self care.
My f/o helping and reminding me to take my antibiotics in the morning and before bed is self care.
My f/o comforting and reassuring me when I'm having a break down because I'm so sick of this constant state of my body shutting down or having something wrong with it is self care...
I just want to be better.. :c
#I didn't sleep well last night. the urgency to pee thanks to this stupid UTI kept me up almost all night.#I am t i r e d and I don't own a bed so the next best thing is to sprawl out on the floor with my squishmallows and blankets/pillows#💤 very tired 😴#I just want to sleeeeeeep but its hard to do rn :c#Want my f/o to tell me its just another bump in the road and I'll be okay soon... This has been the sickest ive ever been in my entire life#in terms of things ohysically going wrong with my body. cold/extreme salmonella poisoning/covid/and now this damn UTI.#im frustrated. im trying whatever i can to be healthier... i cut back drinking a lot and ive quit smoking#I make sure to shower when i can even tho its hard. I try to do exercises in the mornins now.....#im just so tired of my body not being well#vent.tw
