Please pray for my dying daughter. I said no more live plants because I'm no good at caring for them but I fell in love with her and now she sits in my home, tortured by my incompetence.

I'm not saying it is healthy but when you're the only person who is ever available to protect yourself, you start to look for ways to be proactive. When there is no one to help, you learn to help yourself, even at the cost of potential good. Being lied to is one thing but ignoring risk is self harm.
I don't want to have to lecture myself that I should have known better because I had the information that I was trusting the person who is trusted by someone I don't trust. Maybe it is neurodivergence, maybe it is just paranoia but either way I don't trust an implication of safety I cannot verify.
They kindly offered a very generous gesture and while I was touched by the effort, I politely declined. I have no reason to think this person knew their friend was harmful to me, much less wants to hurt me themselves, but I'm not putting myself in a compromising position. I am staying distant.

The other day I ran into someone I knew a while ago. Since we last saw each other regularly, it came to light that they were friendly with someone who was being off putting about my safety. It was nice to see them because I hold no grudges by proxy but I'm cautious about who I am vulnerable with.

I could be smart but I could just be jaded: if you don't explicitly tell me you're not friendly with my ops, I believe there's a chance you can harm me on their behalf. I need direct clarification, like looking into my eyes and making a declaration about your loyalties to someone who has harmed me.

Big fan of friendly men. I'm friendly with men all the time. As recently as today. I misused my words considering the subject matter. Specifically getting to know me in a romantic context. Especially late at night. Especially when I'm walking home. Especially when there is a pita wrap in my purse.
Grey hair update: instead of being left alone by men, now men in their 60s have joined the ranks of people who want to get to know me and I didn't want to INCREASE my discomfort, I wanted to eliminate the possibility of discomfort.

The retail sector is working really hard to ensure I'm completely sick of the holidays before December even starts.

Body slamming yourself down to the ground twice in a day leaves an impression. I ache.

Ok folks we are back at it again from 1-5. Yesterday was a lot. Heard from so many passionate Vancouverites.
Unfortunately I heard the mayor say it was a waste of time. But I assure you, I’m listening.

Budget hearing continued after short recess. 157: environmental lawyer (?)Reads poem. 158: raised in east van. This is austerity and hasn’t been asked for. I’ve been lucky enough to use public services. Breaks my heart to think they won’t get same quality. Few people asked for this police budget.

"I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE IN THIS HOUSE" -my mind on repeat since I first heard this song
Charli meets the Lost Highway soundtrack is pretty solid representation of the mood these days (365 party girl plagued by foreboding).

I don't so much feel humiliated that everyone saw me bail and rushed over to help the fat old broad who tanked it but more that I can't handle people seeing me be what broke the flow of traffic. Being the rush hour weak link counters my insistence on being a hyper-capable indistinguishable stranger.
Hey, just got my feet soaked wearing a different pair of Vans while walking to the pharmacy to get the right sized bandages for my knees. Fucking hating the story arc of today.
I can't be cool in the rain. I can't just buy rain boots because I've always had annoyingly wide feet and I've given up on the vice grip of ice skates, ski boots and any other specialty footwear crushing my bones. Wide specialty shoes are hard to source and expensive so I've attempted alternates.
