Our third Xmas living together, I’ve take to using a tiny, iron tree that I just fling things at. This year, if you look carefully, you’ll spot snowflakes, beardy men, kitties & books.
Merry Christmas. With deep gratitude for all I have, and deep sorrow for the world.

This is so much of the reason I write. Not mere ego tripping, but the genuine alchemy of connection. A reminder we all bleed, breathe, laugh. That’s the drug. The possibility of a click: a gentle ah, or hm. A giggle. A tear. To elicit that, I think, is the core of the thing. Oh, and similes. 😊

So sick of the general social fat phobia, regardless of evidence that tells us, once again, that heart and lung fitness is more important than weight and that BMI is a crock of racist, sexist shit.
