What if it’s my turn to be brooding and inscrutable, to inspire longing that somehow resides in both a choked cry and just under the skin, to be just wild and willful enough for you to relish the liminal space between my attention and my disregard?

My conviction that I need to do something greater with my life than sell furniture is at a high right now. Unfortunately, so is my conviction that I’m not qualified to do anything else.

We get all their email addresses and add them to a Slack channel for a regional theater production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Urgent questions every three minutes. Blow up their phones.

Men will literally shoot the chairman of a massive health insurance conglomerate that denied him coverage for therapy appointments instead of going to, well, actually, now I say it out loud I can understand what happened

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

I wonder if the man with racist views who befriends and praises racists did a racist gesture as a symbol of racism? We'd better figure this mystery out, it's a toughie

Everyone from Rufo to Bannon to Musk to the FSB to the CCP to the IRI will have agitprop campaigns going 24/7. Those campaigns *rely* on us spreading their fear.
Do not comply.

Diane, it's January the 16th, and surrounded by lovely Douglas firs here in Washington, with a damn fine cup of coffee in my hand, I find that the world is suddenly a little more boring.

After weeks of either being completely off of work or with just a couple of work days surrounding holidays, I have reached Tuesday, my second day in a row of working, and I feel so certain that I must be off tomorrow despite knowing that I’m here through Friday.

A significant enough number of folks I know have been having insomnia or other sleep issues that I am feeling something akin to survivor’s guilt for having gotten over 8 hours last night.

I wish there were nighttime flavors for toothpaste. When I brush my teeth before bed, I want my mouth to taste like chamomile tea or spiced cider - something kinda sleepy. Instead, my mouth is full of the energizing flavor of manic mint.

I do like that one of the coolest characters in all of fantasy fiction is a disabled single dad whose breathing apparatus is, like, the most iconic badass sound of all time. Darth Vader is like if my insulin pump had spikes and glowing red lines and played Outkast when I used it

Yes, apparently you can be besties for a decade and have known eachother even longer than that and still suddenly surprise eachother with the knowledge that you both really enjoy Samurai Pizza Cats.

I have tomorrow off of work as I am going in on Saturday to lead a tablescaping workshop. It’s exciting to think how I can stay up late! Woohoo!
In reality, I’ve been in bed since 6 and will probably fall asleep within an hour. Living life on the edge.

Things I wish that a music streaming algorithm would do that none of them seem capable of:
Loving Rush does mean I’ll tolerate Led Zeppelin
Coldplay’s first album was a fresh and joyful burst of vulnerability and every album since is just them trying and failing to recapture that magic.

I will literally give you a business card sized cheat sheet for my pronouns. I’m not kidding; I had them printed special and everything.
so much of the pronoun bullshit is just people being angry at being asked to treat others with a basic level of respect
you don't have to understand gender dysphoria or being nonbinary or neopronouns to just... respect people's wishes about how they want to be addressed

I was born in Los Angeles. I’ve lived here 36 years which is the vast majority of my life. Today I saw Angelyne for the first time (well, her pink Corvette with personalized license plate passed me on the freeway). It felt like seeing a cryptid but also felt incredibly overdue.

My bestie/roomie calls my trips to the gym “muscle school” which I absolutely love. Today was an exciting day at muscle school because it was my first leg day since a knee injury about a month ago.

Yesterday I had the worst mental health day I’ve had in a long time: loneliness so extreme it physically hurt despite the fact that I have a wonderful support network. The cognitive dissonance of knowing you’re loved but feeling isolated and grudgingly tolerated is a wild ride.

I started writing at 10 AM and didn’t stop until my roomie-bestie came home a bit after 4 PM.
I forgot to eat.
I forgot to drink water.
I forgot to go to the bathroom.
6 hours went by and I didn’t notice. I both love and hate hyperfocus.

A new thing I’ve decided to do when gifting books: I’m making inscription bookmarks instead of inscribing the book. This way the recipient gets a heartfelt inscription and a bookmark and a book that they can give to someone else after reading.

Whether or not I was going to drive six hours to see my mom and aunt for Christmas hinged on my mom getting two negative Covid results after a rebound infection - or it did until I woke up with a sore throat and headache this morning.
