You are not your mom. Your mom is dead. Your mom was a person and made mistakes she could not fix, and now she’s dead. You can’t fix her mistakes, they’re not your mistakes to fix. She also can’t fix them: she’s dead.

My childhood included being spanked, beaten with flyswatters, wooden spoons, and belts, being slapped, having my mouth washed out with various kinds of soaps, being screamed at, having my belongings confiscated/disposed of/destroyed, and having objects thrown at me with the intent to hit.

I bought 2 12oz (soda can volume) stainless steel water bottles to use at work and I love them because I can just tip my head back and empty one without stopping.
One is colored to match my desk decor (mint and light teal) and the other matches my backpack (light yellow and pale peach).

I used my $38.36 from the $725 million dollar Facebook privacy class action lawsuit (you had to file in 2023, sorry) to buy 11 fancy vinyl stickers from Etsy for my 2026-27 planner.
I only paid 70¢, after taxes, with free shipping.

We aren’t friends anymore, haven’t spoken in almost five years, but I still listen to the soundtracks of the videogames she played while I sat on her bedroom floor on my laptop when I’m working.

I came out to my therapist yesterday.
It wasn’t on purpose.
I forgot to tell him when I had my gender epiphany 3 years ago, and forgot to mention it when I started using a different name and pronouns.
It came out in a rant about transandrophobia, which was a new word for him.
Oops?
It wasn’t on purpose.

I was looking at my latest pen and it’s a fat one and I was trying to think of the word for a large ink compartment and my brain said “this pen has a high capacity magazine” and that’s not what that’s called. 🤦🏻

Sometimes you have a coworker who takes an action that shows that not only are they bad at their job, certain aspects of their position are redundant and their compensation is too high, and you have to sit there with your praxis and not immediately tell your mutual supervisor.

I decided to reaffirm my dedication to exploring things that society has deemed cringe and checking to see if it’s really just repackaged racism, sexism, and homophobia.

I made a playlist on Pandora where the base artists were all people my brother makes fun of me for listening to and I did *not* title it what he calls it.
(Kesha, Gaga, Katy Perry, Cascada— he calls it my “White Girl* Party Music.”)
*I am neither white nor a girl. 🤨
