Frank and Bill go down to the bunker. Sometimes it’s time to hide from the world.

I cleared all interviews. They contacted my references. They scheduled a meeting for tomorrow. Either this is game on… OR I’m about to be really disappointed. 🤣

So here’s the thing. I have been too fried to be creative because my corporate hellscape job is killing me.
But here’s the road out. And I’m totally in shock, I don’t know for sure if I’m getting the job, but the crazy part is that this is the second job I applied for.

So this week:
- My husband got a job offer (on the down low, we haven’t shared widely)
- His mother got accepted into a great care facility
- I am close to getting a job offer probably

Work crisis did intensify. The last few months have been terrible, my medical team is urging me to go on leave. I’m trying to stick it out a little longer, but I’m in the way out. I got the resume updated. I applied to 3 jobs so far. The first I was turned down for.
The second is… interesting.

God. Figuring out UAMM has been so weird. The conclusion I came to is that I couldn’t write UAMM as the person I used to be. The story I wanted to tell, I couldn’t tell it because it was a half formed version of me, half traumatized and not knowing what came next.

So. 2 very important things:
- I figured out the rest of For Your Entertainment
- And I figured out what was nagging at me about Under A Merciful Moon. It’s not what I’ve written: it’s that I wasn’t clear even to myself what story I wanted to tell. I have worked it out.

A thread of passive aggressive or petty things that I may or may not do.
Wear a shirt for one of my favorite bands tomorrow night. It’s probably not weird except we’re doing one song by that band… I play it better than the guy playing it.

Sometimes I think I just need to take 2-3 days and just not be around anyone I have to mask around. Which probably means, interact with as few people as possible.

It is literally wild to have someone who has played guitar for 60 years not only say that I’m a great percussionist, but that I can sing. No one has really ever told me I can sing, but 5 people did tonight alone. Freaking crazy.

A dude in our neighborhood bitched about people with pride flags out. I’m not sure what he thought would happen, but several more flags appeared since he emailed the board, including at the homes of board members.

Today I learned that people want to always gatekeep. Today I was told how I can be childfree, how I can be neurodivergent, and what I can do for dinner.

Don’t tell me how I should feel about being neurodivergent and I won’t tell you how many ways you can fuck yourself. Cool? Cool.

I’m somewhat disappointed that the term “Pettymenopause” is not a thing and I want to make it a thing. 🤣

happy pride, reminder to not gatekeep asexuals or get shitty about bi/pan people whose relationships "don't look gay enough"

When you have to send out a newsletter and you don’t wanna so you make the background pink and blue to hint at the transgender flag, one of your logos with shades of orange and pink for the lesbian flag, and a rainbow several pages into the newsletter.
Probably no one will notice but!
