The casually gathered thoughts, musings, and writings of a feral old woman.40s, Black, Puerto Rican, neurodivergent, atheist/ex-christian, cis gendered, heterosexual, heteroromantic, allosexual, sex positive, disabled; survivor since childhood STILL stubbornly continuing to survive.Always learning. Always trying to find ways to remain human despite the pressures of this capitalist hell-machine.✨🌌🖖🏾☀️🌊🌿🇵🇷🌺🌪️🌕🖖🏾🌌✨[This is more often than not going to be a collection of slightly cleaned-up, random thoughts and musings, and responses that I've given in various conversations that people seem to have really liked and asked to see. ^^;It's not a place where I'll debate, so. Conservatives will not be entertained... more likely deleted and blocked...admittedly, with pleasure. :3 ...And I can't believe I have to say this, but this "will-be-blocked-not-entertained" rule ***includes TERFs!*** 🙄]{ And...To be perfectly honest, it's better if minors don't follow me. I will get smutty on occasion ^^; It's only a matter of time.}Friends In Need: My home situation is..not good. I don't control my household or have my own money. 😥 I'm so sorry. I wish that I did. (Or I wish I at *least* lived with someone who shared my values, who would agree on what is important to spend on.)IF I ever do have anything, I'll probably give through one of the pages that has vetted requests. Please focus your energies on getting listed there.Again, I am sorry. I know it doesn't mean anything, but I will hope and yearn always for your safety, liberation, and comfort, and for victory against every oppressor.✨🌌🏞️✊🏾May the land be yours once again✊🏾🌅🌌✨✨✊🏾🍊🍉🇵🇸🍉🍊✊🏾✨

Science Is Not A Faith o.O;
I love science.
But the whole thing about science is that it's a method of investigation, not a person or a thing...and the results that one gets from science aren't "unseen".
It's not something you "have to have faith" in.
It's all there, out on paper, in the data, the studies.... there's EVIDENCE there.
Evidence that other scientists are then challenged to disprove, not support.
And the more the findings stand despite other scientists' attempts to tear it down, the more the data becomes predictive and helpful in figuring out other problems, advancing other experiments, and describing other tangible situations; and the more it can be accepted as truth (or at least as a part of the truth).
And of course, nuance can (and should!) be applied to that data.
And sometimes, that changes how the data is interpreted... changes what it means; inspires scientists to go back and do additional studies and experiments to clarify and better interpret the results...but that just improves the data, so long as it really is evidence that is truly in step with our reality.
So...I don't have to have faith in anything.
I believe in Life... because I have good reason to.
And being able to ground myself in humanity and in what is humane (instead of seeing myself and everyone else as automatically evil, "sinful" creatures who do bad just because we just love evil so much, rather than due to the pressures and lack of options provided by the systems around us), I feel has made me a better person.
Now that I'm an atheist, I feel more in touch with a good set of morals that is based on well-being, consent, autonomy, and thriving -- instead of just going with 'Whatever god says, because his Might Makes Right!'.
I wish so badly that I had become an atheist much earlier in life. It would have changed so much for me.
