Why is donating blood so embarrassing. Like yeah, of course I'm going to break out in a cold sweat if someone is literally draining my life force from me. But I feel so silly >:

It’s been 7 years today since we had to say goodbye to a cat who might have been carved right out of my soul.
I still miss him and his brother dearly, even after all this time.

Just scooped up Dunkin when he was trying to get into the room where Pip is teaching a trans studies class, gave him a faceful of kisses, and said "Don't bother them sweetheart, they're teaching tomorrow's youth." Despite how shit the world is, I've really settled into my dream life.

Pip and I went on a writing retreat that was gifted to us this weekend and it was so magic. We stayed in a little cottage from the 1700's on some farmland and lost ourselves in the world we've spent years creating. Highly recommend self-made writing retreats. Already planning another one. :)

The fun thing about the new game changer episode is that it like…so closely resembled a Wayfinder LARP. Only thing it was missing was a big battle.

My country is threatening to take away my marriage and I have to clock into work. Do the dishes. Go to the grocery store. Not act like all I want to do is scream and cry and thrash and hurt.

Homestuck being in the zeitgeist again is so funny. It was only a matter of time. And I love the kiddos being like “omg I’ve been a homestuck since 2019 this is genuinely devastating” meanwhile I was there when the ancient tombs were written, here’s fanart I drew in 2011

“yeah that sucks. have you considered making entirely new art that *doesnt* make payment processors mad?”
From the bottom of my heart: no. I’m not going to waste my time tailoring my creativity and perspective and precious little energy to someone else’s definition of acceptability

Trying to use bsky more but every time I open up this app, I feel so compelled to be such a damn mush.
I am a mush by heart and perhaps its threatening to teem out constantly because I am putting so much work into healing myself. Perhaps its because the world is so heavy and its all I can handle.

As a lover of the em dash, I've decided I'm doubling down on using it. Reclaiming the em dash. Fuck you generative AI, you're not taking that from me. I'll use more em dashes than anyone can conceive.

Buying a partial season membership to the Devils this season because it is one of, if not THE only hobby I can't try to turn into a side hustle and also, you know, fuck it. Yeah I'm tryna pay down my debt but its not like I'll ever be able to afford a house or a kid the way things are going anyway 🙃

Can I just say how incredibly nice it is to be reconnecting with an old community I was extremely timid about reconnecting with — and being welcome back with such open arms and understanding of why I was timid to reconnect in the first place? Everything and everyone grows and that’s beautiful.

I do work behind the scenes - call my stupid ass representatives, stay plugged into grassroots organizations, donate, boycott. Read books. Talk to people in my day to day life, get them to think about things differently. But fuck. I just can't comment publicly on the horror of America anymore. (1/2)

I've been moved to tears 4 separate times today over the course of my workday. By beautiful dedications to our orgs late cofounder, to powerful stories of our storytellers -- all beautiful things, but big, heavy, emotional, powerful things. (1/4)

I will do everything in my power to try to help people when they need it, and I will always try to believe in and see the best in people, but let me say this:
Don't. Fuck. With. My. Family.

I went through hell and back to get to where I am today, but I truly and fully adore my life. I am living fully in a way a younger me couldn't have even imagined for myself. I never take a second of it for granted, ever, and am always thankful for those who supported me along the way to get me here.
