2025 recap: still consulting for an awesome American client and am a Girl Scout mom and volunteer. I lazily joined the PTA, I did a lot of drawing and writing this year. I’m up for a promotion at my job so fingers crossed!

When I see my mom, I call it “Visiting the Dragon” and “Appeasing the Dragon” when I leave. I know in a month she will spit guilt-trip fire at me to visit her again. Surely, this is normal.

Finally finished my last big bang story of the year. It was 40K, still being beta read. Posting on Tuesday. I need to a break! I can’t do five big bangs in a year again. It was almost too much!

Kpop Demon Hunters was super fun and cute. It was nice to be able to watch a movie with my daughter, and she managed to watch the whole movie! Take that ADHD!

A typical discussion in our family:
Kid: “mom does that mean you don’t care about my opinion like dad?”
Me: “Eh, comme si, comme sa. It depends.”
Dad: “Depends, that’s what your grandma wore before she died.”
Us in a nutshell.

My uncle is a huge angry Trump supporter, and yet he supports this rapist when his own niece is a sex abuse survivor. Talk about the ultimate betrayal.

Bernie Sanders could have been our president in 2020 but Democrats sabotaged him. He is still out there fighting for us and I can’t be more inspired by him to keep fighting for what America truly could be - a place of hope for everyone.

I keep wanting to imagine an alternate world where Kamala won, and how much safer and secure the world would be, how I would feel. It all depresses me how much better things could be.

I have no sympathy for people who voted for Trump and now regret it. You are dumb and should feel bad, plain and simple. You were warned. Not only that, every loony thing he said didn’t deter you, his felonies and actions, and you still supported him? Own it.
