I have restraint in neither coffee nor pizza, so... count at least one blessing?

I love you.

Wait, how do you pronounce it? Now I'm curious.

You know, in case "trying to find a job that pays a living wage" and "raising an 11yo" and "unionizing the Starbucks where I currently work" wasn't enough projects.

But my skill set has all the right pieces for "write whitepapers"! And I do desperately want to help.

we have a badass mayor-elect, and a local activist group I've been following for years has a member who's in with her transition team, and I may have, um, accidentally signed up to volunteer.

cannot believe that I have done two loads of laundry, meal planned, done my kitchen routine, and made myself a whole meal

and now I have to, like, figure out continuing ed to renew my personal trainer certification and fight fascism and build my union and make dinner?

maaaaaaaaan this sucks

I'm proud of you too 💖💖💖

Cats are very good

She has forgiven me for removing her from the lap and bringing her to the vet. She shows this by returning to the lap.

I'm JP (they/them, not on speaking terms with gender) and I write queer speculative kissing books!

Further update: healthy cats are healthy!

Book club, dance class, partner acrobatics.

That is extremely grrrrrrr! I would not handle a situation like that gracefully.

who I can even talk to about this*

I can go to coding class and make a stink directly to the teacher, I suppose. And if all else fails I'm going to pull my kid from the program, obviously. I'm just trying to figure out why I even talk to about this.
