I have like 4 packages getting here between Thursday and next Tuesday and somehow my brain has just decided the next couple of days are worthless. Please know, these are all frivolous purchases and carry no meaning for my life. Brains are weird.

I’m calling every inconvenience this month “homophobic.” Today’s homophobia is a package being delayed so it’s not estimated to get here until June 5th instead of June 4th.

Having a day where I feel like healthcare was never supposed to be like this. Insurance was never supposed to exist, capitalism was never meant to be applied to health, and people were all just supposed to be doing our best out here to care for each other without all this nonsense.

I read the book. I have the time. The people are nice. It’s not that far away. Sometimes there are snacks! Yet I am still internally resisting going to book club tonight.

Locally neither target nor Walmart had Mother’s Day cards for queer moms or stepmoms. Just in case you were wondering what kind of moms a “non woke” world cares about.

Fun fact: you’re allowed to not comment on things. I recommend using this privilege when you don’t know an answer or are inclined to be unkind without prompting.

If you can go to a whole science museum and not find at least one thing to get really into playing with, I don’t think we’re gonna be friends.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

There’s a lot of pressure as a single mom to make holidays magical but in a sustainable way but not be in competition with the other house but definitely still stand out in some way. And I’m exhausted all the time of it.

The teslas I see in Kentucky have bumper stickers reading “deport Elon to mars” while the ones I see in Indiana have dealership tags.

I’m tearing up listening to an audiobook that is talking about the idea of deinstitutionalization and how it went wrong. See also: fuck Regan.

Working in healthcare, seeing privacy being treated so cavalierly is wild. Can you imagine how quick I’d lose my license with a hipaa violation like that? Unbelievable.

My toddler’s favorite song at the moment is APT. It’s not even 11 am and we’ve listened to it 5 times today already

I’m understanding very acutely just how conceptually challenging the Pokemon Movie must be to a 3.5 year old.

Nobody tell my girlfriend that I’m having coffee for lunch, she’ll just drive to my orthopedics appointment with a sandwich for me and probably the doctor.

I cannot believe there are people in the psych NP groups on Facebook who believe RFK Jr is anything other than a threat to our entire field of medicine. I want to say they’re bots, but I can’t even trust that much.

Last night my girlfriend held my hand and my smelly old dog’s head at the urgent care vet’s office for 4 hours, before carrying the 80 lb dog out. It was some of the most pure romance I’ve ever experienced. (Leta’s still sick but hopefully on the mend)

This is a really hard time to have just moved, because all the think pieces about how to make sure you survive the administration highlight strengthening your community, and I don’t have any here really. Like I know the people I work with, my household, and my ex’s household. And that’s it.

My kid asked to watch several movies including “the one where his feet is little and his mom” (land before time) and “the one where he’s big and turns into that white guy” (said derisively, beauty and the beast) and toddlers are hilarious when they don’t mean to be.
