Love all things that grow.

I contain multitudes.
And they need a voice.
We're 2/3 of the way there, and growing.
And this week, navigating our mother's death while he's away.
Heartbreaking.

Spent all night dreaming that my partner and my mom were both being incarcerated for spurious reasons.
I cannot express how unnecessary it was to live through that in my sleep.

Quietly tiptoing toward being myself out loud.

"I'm starting to hate pat-downs"
he says,
sitting across the table from me
in prison orange.
"Because it's starting
to feel good
being touched
at all."

And we buy
two photo tokens
because when you pose for a picture
then you can drape your arm
over your love's shoulder
for at least
one
second.

Some days I don't realize I'm carrying tears until it's night and my Love calls to check in and my voice breaks while I'm telling him about my day and then theeerrreee they are. Tears, able to flow in the safety of a caring partner. Lots of things are shit, but I'm pretty lucky to have that.

The creeping existential exhaustion doesn't look ready to let up any time soon.

Empathy is not reserved for straight, white folks.
Neither is compassion.
*I* have enough to go around, but also enough critical thinking skills to recognize that you don't get to demean and dismiss caring, compassionate humanity and then demand it when it's you who need it. Nah. Not how it works.

There are not enough quiet, polite coping skills for today's political, cultural, social climate.

I much prefer doing my research amidst the flickering lanterns of an old-fashioned library in Prague during a raging thunderstorm with the help of a library ghost, so no, I'm afraid I have no interest in "asking ChatGPT."

Someday, I shall have bunnies again.
Though maybe not at the beach.

Cat #4 has had a nice long snuggle nap on my lap. Cat #3 has had her head rubs and was allowed to put her cold nose on my face for a while. Cat #2 has been fed (outside) and petted briefly. Pet #1 rubbed her ears on my toes (ugh). I'm officially welcomed home.

I really dislike getting stuck watching a show where you hate every character but need to see how it ends, so you just sit and watch everyone spiral out into self-destruction, helpless as a pedestrian watching a train wreck. I'm looking at you, Servant.

Stop. The. PRESSES. They just announced that Frozen Plasma is playing at Dark Force Fest. And I know that we are in an authoritarian state, about to lose basically our civil rights, but this makes me very happy.
