I wish that average people in America had a better understanding of what people who grew up in old-world cultures that value filial piety go through in the workplace.
"Authority anxiety" doesn't quite describe it-- it's TERROR. Then add built-in imposter syndrome.

Just flipped Pokémon Legends: Z-A, a.k.a. Pokémon and the City.
This game loses its own plot something like 12 times and lacks the guileless charm of Legends: Arceus.
... for the life of me, I can't tell you what this game is about.

I usually wince when people-- usually doctors-- suggest that what happened to me five years ago "rewired [my] nervous system".
It has recently come to my attention that this is accurate.
I delay difficult conversations, feeling unsafe, and break down during confrontations.

Just got called a communist at QFC in Normandy Park by some dude in a veteran jacket.
I don't broadcast my political or social stuff openly and I wasn't even wearing anything cool. Also, we both live in the US.
Are all blondes communists or something?

I feel bad saying this, but I really don't like staying bed-and-breakfasts. No shade to folks who are into that kind of thing, but it's just not my thing.
I don't like staying in other peoples' homes. I don't like the social obligation, thin walls, weird rooms, prescribed breakfast.

Something to remember this Christmas, while your family's driving you crazy: we have much to learn from the Greatest Generation.
It's important that we, the future, ask them the hard questions.

Serious question: why don't boomers eat?
Yes, I am referring to baby boomers. I'm starving from the moment I arrive at my parents' house until I sneak out and get food. They eat nothing. They must think I'm a disgusting pig.

Deeply dismayed and disappointed in the lack of jolly headgear on other passengers at SeaTac Airport on December 23rd.

Three recipes later, I finally got what I wanted out of a matcha cookie. Reduced the vanilla and salt slightly and used salted butter but otherwise dead on.

FAQ:
I'm safe!
Yes, I'm on the floodplain, but I'm outside the GO NOW evacuation zone.
The cows started panicking well before the levee broke, which was odd. Owls fell silent.
Helicopters are not announcing anything and power is still on.
Go bag is packed, just in case. Probably unnecessary.

A joke only I can make while handing over a sloppily wrapped gift (my biological mother is a Nordstrom/celebrity tier fancy wrapper and my biological father is a convicted rapist):
"I apologize! I did not inherit the wrapping gene. But I also didn't inherit the raping gene, so there's that."

I had a terrible, horrible, no-good very bad day. It was my first day making a whole salary, and the guy I was assigned to was determined to make me feel useless and stupid, or maybe I am? I dunno.
No idea if I'm working for the rest of this week, or where. As I was leaving, I blew out a tire.
