Hi new friends!
I'm McKenzie, most everyone calls me Kenz.
I have 2 dogs, 🔵 in a red state, love making new friends, music of all kinds (including T-Swift), bourbon, and Kentucky basketball.
My Dad has ALS and I am his primary Caretaker💙
I work to be the woman I needed when I was little.
I won't shop for my own Christmas presents and I hate to add any stress to Dad's life, I asked for the same calendar I've gotten for *years*, but I was going through one of Mom's bags of clothes tonight and I found her stash of presents for me😭 Best- most emotional- Christmas present of all time

Ending 2025 less one friend group.
And with a whole moving truck more worth of trauma.

Merry Christmas🎄

Get yourself best friends who cheer for you when you tell them you got a referral to a Trauma Psychologist

My goal for 2026: To be as happily petty as 50 Cent.
That's all.

St. Anthony.
Mom.
Anyone.
Please please please help me find the most precious Christmas decoration I have.
I'm on the verge of a full meltdown.

Ever since I lost my Mom and became my Dad's Caregiver there is no joy in the holidays.
I'm a full-blown Grinch with no desire to have Cindy Lou or anyone else show me the magic and joy of Christmas.
Leave me the hell alone and let me be grouchy.

I need a suclarose elder who doesn't want suclarose.
Or prettier feet.
Or a miracle.
Or all of the above.

The *easiest* way to tell how hard I've studied this year?
My Spotify Wrapped includes 3 classical artists, I only listen to classical when I'm studying.

I *never* enjoyed my birthday after moving not cause my parents didn't try, but being the daughter of a school teacher with a birthday in early June means my birthday was more stress than fun.

This most recent birthday was my first without my Mom.

Ah yes time for my favorite time of year when everyone is excited for the most wonderful time of year and I'm perpetually walking around with a thought bubble above my head that says, "Where are you Christmas?"
November 28, 2025 at 7:34 AM
Thankful for each one of you, time with my Daddy, a warm home, 2 pups, and plenty of food to eat.
As my Mom would say, "We are blessed.".

A fire tore through Joshua Tree National Park during the government shutdown, seemingly torching more than 1,000 Joshua trees. And it's possible there will be little or no active restoration thanks to Trump administration cuts. www.latimes.com/environment/... via @lilaseidman.bsky.social
Hundreds of Joshua trees were scorched during the shutdown
A firefighter with the National Park Service says a fire wiped out more than a thousand Joshua trees amid the government shutdown. Restoration could be limited by a depleted staff, they said.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance I want to remind my trans homies that each of you are miraculous displays of the infinite possibilities that life contains. You are more precious than stardust and dearer than time. And you will all know a peaceful existence on this Earth before I leave it 💜

Can someone wash my hair for me? My scalp is so itchy but I have negative energy.

Writing a paper for my Social Psych class about the worst night of my life while I'm so sick I can't think straight is possibly one of the dumbest things I've ever done.

Never mind all the last post.
I have COVID *and* the flu for a sprinkle of pizzazz.

Two things:
1) Someone yell at me to SEW SEW SEW SEW SEW SEW

2) Someone yell at me to not over- exert myself baking for Thanksgiving

Thanks in advance

Things that exhausting when you have Celiac: Perpetually discovering cookware that you have to replace so you can safely eat😭
I *know* I'm extraordinarily blessed to be able to replace items as I need to in the kitchen, and this is a huge first world problem *BUT* much of what I have to
