Summoning the brainpower to become a person again, maybe
The Adderall is definitely Adderall-ing today. Got a sink full of dishes and baskets full of laundry to wash... but don't worry, I moved the 6-seater couch and swept under/behind every inch of it.
(In slightly related news, kids are so gross.)

Nice try, sponges. Still won’t make me enjoy washing dishes. Cute, though.

I may have officially started writing again. We’ll see if it lasts this time. Is there a #writing community on here like there was on Twitter?

Oh, yay! ❤️
Orlando wasn’t having what DeSantis did. They recolored the Pulse Memorial crosswalk.

Ugh.
He claimed rainbow crosswalks and similar public art were “distractions” that posed safety risks.

In 1939, Dorothy Parker wrote about the first dawning of social conscience she experienced, as a child of 5. It seems like an awful lot of adults have forgotten how to do compassion.

Me: I’m going to go pick something up, do you want to c-…
Daughter: YES!
Me: No hesitation. Doesn’t even need to know what it is. That’s my ride-or-die right there.

I had put aside time for writing today.
So, anyway, I’ve prepped several dinner’s worth of food and washed the sheets on the kids’ beds.

I was a full adult when I realized this, but "It looks like it was drawn by a five-year-old" shouldn't be framed as an insult. Five-year-olds are courageous about their art and often have this raw style in their works. I think that's really cool.

Talking about how deeply unpleasant making art is and describing the process as "hazing" is rather telling.
They attempted something and didn't enjoy it, therefore nobody else could possibly enjoy it.
Skills are not fun 24/7, everyone has struggle days. You get over the hump by persisting.

Honestly this is an excuse.
I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.
It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.
Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.

Good things today:
Daughter unloaded dishwasher, vacuumed living room, made me coffee.
Had a 20 year friend reunion at the beach. I suppose fresh air and sunshine is probably good for me, too.
Gelato, fish and chips, bought a crystal crown. My bad hair days will now look 45% more glamorous.

Spent 20 minutes untangling my bathing suit just to discover after putting it on that it may actually be a Halara dress. Probably going to wear it anyway… stay tuned to see what fashion rules I break next.

9 months later and I’m back again. Actually downloaded the app this time, maybe I’ll stick around. Yet somehow the shit I have to say now feels even less important than the shit I had to say last time, so… who knows.
