Good morning y’all. Lately I’ve felt the stress of wanting to be in two places at once. Pummeled by the reality that I CANNOT do all the things (because they’re often happening at the same time). The guilt that encompasses me is pretty illogical. Am I really gonna be mad about being subject to theContinue reading “No Time Turner Available”

Secular Saturday
Good morning.There is SO MUCH.There are also trees.And birds.And sunshine.And you.Thank goodness for you.
Dear Queers:
Maybe you’ve always known. Maybe you’re still figuring it out. You are real and you are worthy of love. You deserve to be not just SAFE in your love, but CELEBRATED in your love. In your Life. I am sorry for my years of delusion and confusion. For shouting “No she’s not!” Thinking I wasContinue reading “Dear Queers:”
“Are you OK?” (No. Yes. Mostly?)
The past couple weeks have been a LOT. There’s been loss and grief and shock and perspective shifts. There’ve been so many adjustments, life almost feels fluid (which is pretty beautiful), and now it’s the end of May. The phrase “Are you okay?” always throws me off. I feel defensive and defective and completely unableContinue reading ““Are you OK?” (No. Yes. Mostly?)”
Saturday Morning in the Cosmic Blob
These are the days I need to write and yet I don’t. Words and thoughts swirl around my mind so quickly I don’t even notice them, my fingers can’t keep up. Like florescent lights flickering too fast to be noticed except on a subliminal level, my thoughts storm my mind. I have nothing to say andContinue reading “Saturday Morning in the Cosmic Blob”

Here you are, getting through the stuff, whatever it be. If you resisted the urge to step on a scale, orContinue reading “Good morning y’all”
Notes to Self: Dear HS Freshman
Oh dear one, the world is large and the universe expanding. It’s beautiful and terrifying and comforting and overwhelming. And YOU ARE PART OF THAT. Part of the chaotic and magnificent cosmic blob. You are a creature of the multiverse. One of many. There is not a single thing wrong with you. There may beContinue reading “Notes to Self: Dear HS Freshman”
Pep Talk: Almost Spring
This time of year gets really tricky. It’s the longest we’ve been in Winter mode, anxiously awaiting Spring, doubtful it will ever arrive. Historically, for me, it’s a tricky time of year as it marks a lot of loss. I’ve come to understand that the longer I live, the more loss I will sustain andContinue reading “Pep Talk: Almost Spring”
No dish breakfast
Sometimes I need a simpler breakfast. A really easy one. No dishes. Enter: TOAST!! Smear it with whatever you have on hand— peanut butter, cheese, smooshed banana, regular ass butter. Today I did avocado (and a sprinkle of Everything but the Bagel because I’m a little bit bougie). Because we gotta eat today. No matterContinue reading “No dish breakfast”
Gentle Friday
It’s been a rough week for kidlet. I’m heading off to pick her up early from her after program because Things. And I’m choosing to be soft when I get her. To connect first. And she doesn’t know this but I’ve packed her roller skates and some snacks in case that sounds nice. It’ll beContinue reading “Gentle Friday”
