08.03.2026 02:29 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Once, a stranger asked me what Katie was short for. I told them that it wasn't short for anything; my birth name is just Katie. She looked me dead in the eye and said "no, it's not." The sheer audacity and unearned confidence had me rolling. I think of her often.

07.03.2026 18:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0One of the coolest parts of descending from royalty is being able to trace your heritage back 3,000 years via casual web sleuthing. Obviously a more serious effort will be required to securely verify everything, but it's awesome nonetheless!

05.03.2026 16:14 โ ๐ 10 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 4 ๐ 0That makes a lot of sense. I think it's the stages of grief combined with weird relief. Such odd emotions to feel simultaneously. I'm weirdly dreading Sunday, but I'm going to try to make it a very positive day ๐

And don't let anyone tell you "other Muslim countries are happy!" until you understand Sunni/Shia politics.

Looks like my lil' poster presentation did the trick, because my fave bookstore emailed me to talk about an unlisted position they might want to hire me for! Got this fortune the next day, so the Gods are clearly doing their thing. ๐
