Just in time for my favorite season of the year, here's "11 things I've learned about being a ghost."

It's about house hauntings, our relationships with folks who've passed on, and ways we can heal.

Check it out here: open.substack.com/pub/graymora...
Amazing, I'll have to try there next.
The Kabul Fresh Grill! I ordered takeout. The kaddu—pumpkin pan-fried and baked with brown sugar, topped with a tomato based ground beef sauce and garlic-yogurt drizzle—was my favorite. 🤤
My parents got married in the 80s.
My dad, 25, gifted my mom a new credit card in front of all their guests at the reception. They drove away in his Porsche, and they bought a 5 bed/4bath home from his dad just before I was born.

I'm renting, drive a Kia, & have no money for a wedding or kids.
The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.
Afghan food is delicious. I've absolutely found my new food fixation.
At the grocery store today, a young kid was playing around with her parents (cute) near the register and hugged my leg to hide while I was checking out. I just said, "Oop! Hello!" and then her dad walked up to collect her. She giggled and ran off.

Kids need more safe neighbors to be kids around.
There is no perfect way of presenting your argument for your own rights to your oppressors. They will always find a reason to deny you. That's what narcissistic abusers and oppressors do. It's victim blaming akin to telling a rape victim they shouldn't have worn or drank that.
I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Dog owners, you ever just absolutely nail the “last time out to pee immediately before it starts pouring” and no one is there to give you a medal
Someone just walked by my house singing a minor key tune in a warbling voice and I'M SORRY??? Can you not. I'm watching The Blair Witch Project and you're freaking me the fuck out.

ring cameras are down because of the aws outage, go. be free. walk around in the world that could have been
I get incredibly confused when I see sportsball posts in my discovery feed. What language are y'all even speaking. I am not going to learn it.
Raise your hand if you were also so bored you changed your bedding. 🙋 I'm not ungrateful, it's just...interesting.
Since AWS was down and I couldn't get any work done, I changed the bed to fresh sheets, now I'm definitely going to sleep early tonight.
Is it bad when your first clear thought on waking in the morning is that you’re looking forward to going to back to bed in the evening?
ACAB includes that vested bitch from Whole Foods on the corner of Aliceanna and S Central.
The armed security in Baltimore is ridiculous. We essentially have a bunch of random people in tactical gear cosplaying as cops, and all they're protecting is produce and baby wipes.
Girl. Get a grip. Ring cameras aren't the only available option, for one, and the rest of us refuse your entitlement to passive data collection on behalf of a police state. I'll literally put a plastic cup over your camera, bitch.
Why did you have your post limiting responses to only your sycophants? Once you are outside your own home, you have no expectations of privacy in a public space. Don't like outside cameras? Go purchase 100 acres where you can expect privacy. Now go sit down.
Actually I would like to punch AI in the face, but it doesn't have one, so billionaires will have to do.
i see you're doing something online that you have effortlessly done 100,000 times. would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? w

So I’m losing hope. I cannot donate blood. I’ve gone in every day this week and been told my pulse is too high. I can’t fix that. If I don’t have rent by the 3rd I’ll be evicted by the 10th. I’ve still not found a job. Rent is $1400. I don’t have it

Look, you guys say whatever you want, I'm gonna look for No Kings signs in my client's homes and then I'm going to inform them their Ring cameras gotta go.
“lemme be stupidly divisive to invalidate the point someone is making about how absurdly difficult it is to discuss what might should be done”
We need to take real steps, like criticizing the people who left their houses yesterday online
Don't let the pepperonis slide off when he's fresh out of the oven. IYKYK.

My friend calls this the "more stuff" method of critique. Don't think this or that thing is effective? Then do something better.
"oh this march is stupid it should have been a -" ok so do that.

"people wearing costumes are silly they should be-" stop talking and do whatever the end of that sentence is.
I'm dog sitting. I miss my own pets. These ones aren't as good.
There is simply no way the election wasn't tampered with. They admitted to it on live TV.

NO KINGS.

a perfect, yet terrible, example of how absurdism, when in direct confrontation with fascist forces, effectively conveys the absurdism of that force.

that said, hope she’s okay. just terrible.
#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.
Trying to get most of my Halloween costume either from thrift or secondhand or individual artists. So far so good. Pants from Goodwill. Accessory and shirt from Poshmark (fingers crossed). Fangs from Etsy.

it is far better to be in a country with a mass visible protest movement than one without it
And with that new hope, look beyond the scope of No Kings. Can you share resources with your BIPOC & trans neighbors? Can you look after their kids while they work? Can you share a meal? We are collectively mourning a way of life that no longer exists—offer the same care you would for bereavement.
Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.
