Being on a comics podcast was so incredibly stressful.
I was always so terrified the right name would escape me when I needed it.
I'm not dumb, just traumatized.
Life is so frustrating when I have to match a word to the picture in my head.
I'm good at most things I try with two exceptions: dexterity and nouns.
I love minimalist design
Sometimes a little spontaneity is called for and rewarded.
Wouldn't have it any other way 😘
I need to take pics, but after a concerning scan last fall, I needed to lose weight for my health. I discontinued my SSRI which helped put me back in touch with my appetite.
I have both lost a significant amount of body weight and am lifting more weight.
Still hot and obese.
You did. Lol
Me: I always get so stressed about directing
@strictlyworse.bsky.social: have you ever considered that every single time it's always worked out and been amazing?
Me: not possible without the stress. Surely.
Today while watching the kids I sat down with a bag of teddy grams on the couch.
The littlest one sits next to me with a box of fruit loops.
We both make eye contact and remember no eating in the living room so we both walk to the kitchen table without saying a word.
I love them so much. 🤣
Seeds are sprouting! 🌱
I might be, maybe, a little hot.
I like to imagine I'm confident, but I'm always bewildered when someone shows genuine excitement about getting to know me.
How dare they not seem mildly disinterested in a way that makes me feel like I need to earn their attention.
No person is perfect. No one loves perfectly. No one is fully healed and free of the impacts of trauma.
If you're lucky, you'll find the people who make healing possible and your faults seem small.
Love that brings out your best self is priceless ❤️
Calling @emilyhardingwrites.bsky.social !
It's adorable, and is definitely Hallmark movie material.
And we recognized it too late, but I matched with a parent of two students and now have a date in two years after graduation lol.
Feeling settled and secure enough in my life, health, and relationships to investigate the dating scene again.
Make a feeld profile, swipe, swipe, parent of a student -- "shit shit shit!"
Hats off to you! Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I have one day of melted snow to bring my gardening 🌱 and seed starting trays in from my shed.
Then blizzard.
I can do this
An IV on a Caucasian arm administering a biologic drug designed to treat Crohn's disease.
It's taken over half a year, stopping my SSRI, eliminating some problem foods, and getting regular IV infusions to get to a place where I feel healthy again.
And I feel so good.
I'm hopeful about my future.
I'm also proud of myself. I'm so fucking cool

I'm one lucky duck
We're on day 8 of a new semester and new classes and I've already heard "This is my favorite class. I look forward to it all day," from a student I did not expect it from.
Taking the win!
Oh if only I realized how much harder January would get.
And his rest stop is solid
It's the first of two nights I'm going to be gone at a conference and poor @strictlyworse.bsky.social is already consoling both kids through tears of missing me.
What a saint.
Played in the snow with my kids for hours today. My oldest heard stories from my mom about me digging tunnels in the snow as a kid and had to try it out.
Living and loving joyfully because hope is defiant when those in power use fear as a cudgel.
Caboose was such a perfect boy. I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
My 7 y/o: you are lucky to be friends with a game designer like me
@kidcryptid.bsky.social: I sure am
😂😂😂
