If you’re gonna get married, you should marry someone that, when you get a couple drinks in you, you can’t stop proposing to.

Finding gratitude in the mundane:
What an honor to clean my home, listening to a playlist made by someone who loves me, and to fuss at my dogs for tracking through the dirt, and to fuss at the cat for bothering the cut flowers in the kitchen. What a blessing. Grateful.

Nothing has ever made me as instantly turned on as a steel drum reverberating through the ground. Just thought you’d want to know.

My boy is not my employee, we are a partnership. I take care of him and set him up for success, and in return, he takes the most excellent care of me. I am grateful for this goofball, and for the life he has given back to me. Service animals change lives. Mine sure has changed mine.

Grateful beyond measure for a life that is only possible because many years ago, I chose not to live in a closet. Life is so beautiful, and I’m glad to be here living it. Happy pride!

Also having some really intense feelings around my disability, which is frustrating because I don’t have a disabled community to talk with about this. Anyone out there in bsky with a connective tissue disorder want to be friends?

Yesterday I found out that a play I wrote to process my feelings around losing my mom will be produced this spring as part of a short play festival that I will also be directing another play in. I am excited and proud, but also: I want to tell my mom. What a bummer.

cw: Negative self-feelings, mention of childhood trauma
Is it just common in autistic people to spend so much time wondering what is so wrong with yourself that it is apparently hard to love you? My brother could do no wrong as a kid, and he’s objectively less kind.

Just started focusing on private acting lessons and I am so pleased to say that I love it and am planning a big advertisement push moving into the new year! I love teaching more than anything, and I’m really glad to see that becoming a way to make a living.

Watching #titleofshow on #broadwayhd for the first time and instead of telling me to put my phone away, they’ve told me to take my phone out, so you’re all coming with me. Buckle up!
