A quick update to say thank you to everyone who chipped in to meet & surpass not one but two goals. :O

Like I said, I’m not upping the goal again but leaving this up as a few kind souls chose a monthly support option.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Received shocking news. All I can do is be grateful for what I have & wonder what am I supposed to learn from this?

PO, proudly showing me the Awesome Spork of Awful Doom from Fallout New Vegas mod.
Me, blinking: “What is that?”
PO: “…”
PO: “It’s a spork! Can’t you read?!?”

Me, confused (looking at my child’s art over their shoulder and then they click): “Now I don’t know what I’m looking at…”

PO (snarkily): “Yes, Mom. I minimized the window. This is called Object Permanence 101.”

I’m so far off brand I’ve become generic.

“People just make it work” is not a great excuse for a system that doesn’t support a living wage.

Hot take: wearing animal onesies is not a Halloween costume, it’s leisurewear.

I put my finger on why I got so annoyed during my career coaching conversation: I want to be valued for my triumphs, not my tragedies.

The words “I hear you. I see you.” mean a lot.

Don’t say “but for the grace of Gd go I” aloud to someone you’re trying to help; keep it to yourself. While intended as gratitude & kindness towards others, aloud, it implies that you’re not only grateful for not being as bad off as them, but that they aren’t receiving Gd’s grace.

Just don’t.
