Someone said “Love Will Tear Us Apart by The Cure” and my heart stopped for five minutes.

I keep confusing Ka Baird for Chris Fleming when their videos pop up in my feed. It’s only for a second but utterly seamless.

Actually you know what. I would pay people to do photorealistic renderings of you know who et al, with realistic dicks tattooed on their faces.

Mindless distraction:

What’s the physical modification that would look the most out of place or silliest on you? (Barring the obvious like, “dick tattooed on my forehead”)

For example, a belly button piercing would be comically out of pocket on me.

I’ve been nauseous all day with the news. Took kid to playground and watched children play like it was a memory test. “This is what 7 looks like. This is what sunshine and joy feels like.” Came home and almost hurled. Picked up a book and found my eyes singling out the metaphors of war. Praying.

Fuck the troops.

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I ordered a breakfast burrito and cut into the third of it that was a 3 inch by 2 inch block of melted cheese + a morsel of refried beans with sausage. It was so filling and delicious I didn’t need the rest, and wow…to become a quesadilla fan at this point in my life is quite nice.

*Screams for eternity*

Just heard great news for someone who richly deserves it and am practically shivering with happiness and emotions for them. Nothing for granted.

“My cat’s breath smells like cat food.”

My skin is crawling

Not to be a jerk but cynically and semantically, “grass fed beef” is a “plant-based meat”

lol

My son the type designer.

Kid and I made potato chips for the first time and now we’re covered in a permanent slick of frying oil how do people do this every day.

Calling the city-mandated winter blizzard weather related halt in traffic a “travel ban” is such a choice of words.

I’m thinking about this now precisely because I do not worry anyone will be mad that I prioritized something else today. That feels like a major difference with say, nonprofit organizing, where everyone is entitled to more attention and relishes in their burnout.

A reason Food Not Bombs (at least where I am) works, is that there are so many of us in the same neighborhood. I see the struggle with attempts at collective bargaining and mutual aid and I worry there’s a too-remoteness and too-aloneness that engenders a kinda martyr’s syndrome, performativity.

The quintessential movie of Philadelphia is Trading Places.

if you need something polished to oblivion I’m your person at the moment! hahaha
(and also I wanna catch up IRL next time I’m thataway 🩶)

Over-exerting myself physically, to the point of borderline injury, after getting a massage, like clockwork.
It’s lighting a cigarette while waiting for the bus only to see the bus appear on your horizon out of nowhere.

Seriously my house is so fuckjng clean because a complete and centripetal terror has taken over all of my executive functions and is making me operate in secluded overdrive.
