When I was a baby the doctor looked at me and said, “That’s the haole-est haole I ever saw” and I have definitely lost my title as evidenced by this pic.

And Jesus fucking christ, learn how to approach a home. You don’t walk up to the door and knock, you stand at the bottom of the porch steps and yell “Hui!” before you even think about walking up. Give people some warning. “Hui” is the doorbell here. Just fucking learn, fucking colonizers.

If you can’t be fucked to learn how to pronounce a new language when you move somewhere, don’t fucking move there. Say “Mamalahoa Highway”, say “Kalanianaole”, say “Kanoelehua”, for fucks sake say “Hawai’i Belt Road”. Just respect the place you are.

Stop telling me about studies with n=16 when we have an administration that’ll never let us have wider scale trials of anything helpful. Our health advice in this country is now “Take unregulated supplements and make randos more billions!”

New mom’s math at 39: same, but I also get to wake up to nurse when I’d just fallen asleep and try not to fall asleep again. Getting older is so much fun!

Also, that’s really not very much money. That’s “Someone you know who has money but is quiet about it” money. That is not “Government contract audit” money. These people are just randomly searching and burning things to the ground. That’s like the salt under your fingers after you under salt a dish.
