I am going to feel angry. I will let myself feel betrayed and dismayed and concerned and vigilant. I will feel enormous grief. But I will be damned if I will let them make me feel afraid.

Ever since I was very young, and read about Laika in a book about space, I have occasionally had attacks of severe grief over how scared she must have been. My son just randomly asked me why we sent animals into space, and I almost couldn’t answer him.

I haven’t listened to Peter Gabriel’s Shock the Monkey since I was a kid. Visceral memories of dancing a whole routine in my room while wondering if something terrible really happened to a monkey.

I had a dream where my socks got wet and I had to walk around in the dream in wet socks. What the actual fuck, brain?

An unexpected challenge of having anxiety-induced heart failure in 2025 is the balancing act of avoiding reading about current events and worrying about what is happening vs. staying up on current events and worrying about what is actually happening.

All of a sudden there's a lot of posts in my feed about what is cringe and what is not cringe and whether it's cringe even be saying cringe after a certain age or at all.

Drove past Apr 5 protest just now. I stopped to allow elderly couple to cross in crosswalk. Guy in car behind me, already upset by the protest and giving protesters the finger, lays on his horn. Protesters think he's supporting them, everyone starts cheering. Dude almost had a coronary.

If you have an autistic or AuDHD person in your life, take a moment during Autism Acceptance month to engage with them and honor their perspectives and experiences.
Assuming they are ok with being perceived. If that's not their bag, then maybe do it without direct eye contact.

Starting to accept that we are headed for a full blown apocalyptic nightmare. On the bright side, genuinely looking forward to mohawks and killer leather daddy outfits being the new business casual

If your brain ever tells you: I'm just going to take two bites of ice cream while I wait for this Zoom meeting to start, it is lying to you. It will force you to put on your avatar and eat the entire thing.

If someone would have asked me 20 years ago if I'd be sitting in a coffee shop crying silently because the Pretenders' Back on the Chain Gang played on the radio, I'd have laughed right in their face.
But here we are.

My son turned 7 today. Kid has been through some shit: adoption, COVID, parents divorced, and now the Dept of Ed dismantled right as he is finally correctly diagnosed as AuDHD and getting appropriate services. And this dude is one of the funniest human beings I have ever known. I think he has to be.

I keep wanting to post something weird or bizarre like I used to in my old Dumbrella days . . . But I can't think of anything. My Dadaist Fuckery muscle has atrophied.
