P.S - you can confidently push back without being cruel. Trust me, I do it often. Always be okay with making people feel uncomfortable, though. That usually happens quickly when you learn to say no.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social)
One thing Iâve learned is how often people bank on NOT getting pushback. Many people will really do whatever they like and feel confident itâll go unquestioned. Learn how to confidently push back, and people will be surprised and often back down. Your boundaries are important, okay?

Would be curious to see if PayPal knows anything about it. If anything happens thatâs useful please update! I never figured out why it happened. But Iâve been using DuckDuckGo and Fastmail and am very pleased with both.

There was this thing for a while where every time I used PayPal I got a random receipt from a spam company. I changed all my passwords and everything and it still wouldnât stop, it was constant and drove me insane. Come to think of it, it only stopped when I stopped used Google.

Just say âafter quarantine.â Saying weâre past COVID after two presidents have deliberately stopped testing for it is a bit like saying the era of school shootings is over because we no longer hope for any government intervention. COVID causes serious brain damage and many donât know they have it.

Who has Medicare should wait a week or two and try again before they pay out of pocket. Iâm going for mine tomorrow, at CVS, guises Iâll see what happens.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
This has happened before: Medicare is really slow on updating their system. Likely whatâs happening is they DO cover it but it isnât in their system yet so at the pharmacy it looks like it just isnât covered, this has happened almost every rollout (I have Medicare). I think anyone

Valid! I donât worry too much about followers or readers, more publishers đŹ but honestly I feel like itâs becoming more that people WANT to see that their favorite authors ARENâT cowards. Thatâs how I feel.

My stories are political. My characters are, too, because others with much more power and much more money have chosen that route instead of just letting people exist equally. What a time to start a writing career. Just doing my best.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social)
Often I worry being âpoliticalâ will hurt my career as an author, but as I am multi-marginalized my entire existence has been politicized. Iâve never gotten to pick and choose what I care about bc my life depends on speaking up. I donât have the privilege not to. I hope thatâs understood.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
Congratulations!!! Such a big deal!
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
Having children is an absolute privilege not everyone gets. *I* donât get it, in part, because my own mother didnât care for me. I will spend the rest of my life making up for what sheâs done to me. Children are whole people, not your fucking property to play politic games with or for clout . Fuck.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
And yes, I understand misinformation is a thing. I understand brainwashing a thing, *I* was raised with loads of it. But I donât think Iâm all that special for changing myself, though it was hard work. I thinks anyone, if they tried, can break away from it.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
Between severe mental and physical abuse and her absolute refusal to give me proper medical care and vaccines, my mother should have not had children.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
A while ago someone got mad at me for saying âsome people shouldnât have kids.â The irony of them calling me, of all people, a eugenicist. I stand by it. There is no logical reason to go back to having eight kids hoping at least two survive. I am endlessly thankful for my life, but
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
She had to go to court with my medical documents to prove I wasnât skipping. I was hospitalized for various flus and viruses multiple times. I firmly believe it is a parentâs duty to protect their child and set them up for the best life possible, and not wanting to do that is a betrayal.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social)
I canât stress enough that I was born immune compromised with a rare disease and my mom was an anti-vaxxer. I genuinely still donât understand sometimes how Iâm still alive when I got various flus and strep every year. I was declared truant multiple times in school because I was sick so often

I donât feel badly at all. I thought the conditions were more similar than they are. Iâm okay being proven wrong, and someone with the actual disease knows more than I do. Iâm not deleting the post so people can hear what you say. I hope they read your post, I also have a rare disease doctors often

I canât imagine it wouldnât cause problematic breathing.
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
I imagine so, yeah. Iâm not a doctor but I had vocal cord dysfunction for several years. Even if I wasnât speaking sometimes Iâd just be sitting quietly, have a spasm, then start choking and couldnât breathe. It was honestly terrifying. Itâs not exactly the same but his SD seems so severe

From what I know, yes. Your vocal cords definitely play a part in your breathing. Heâs disabled.

While I encourage people to be themselves with their fashion at the same time I also encourage them to be brave. When I say the comfortable thing, it isnât always just the same old thing youâre used to, but rather what you think actually represents you rather than whatâs expected of you.

Is there someone whose style you admire or like? A celebrity, author, etc?
Noor (@noorlovelace.bsky.social) reply parent
I get that. Iâve felt the same way for sure. Though as I get older I am starting to realize most of the time that has to do more with being around the wrong people than you actually being a problem. If you could wear literally anything, what would you wear? Neverminding what everyone else thinks?

I like fashion a lot, not from a brand standpoint but rather from an expression standpoint. In the person all my friends go to for a what to wear advice, which I love. So my serious advice, wear an outfit that makes you feel most like yourself, that you feel really handsome in. Whatever does that
