My friends, I just discovered an amazing app called #StandInPride which offers support to the LGBTQ + community. You can support people online or in person. You can “stand in” for missing family members who won’t attend a wedding or a graduation, or offer a listening ear. Check it out!

w/o downloading anything new- where are you mentally?

I love that I was born with the 'how hard can it be' gene 😅

Deciding whether this dress should actually go with me to Vegas again.

(And whether I should make it a little shorter)

For some things I cling to 'doing something is better than nothing' (if I'm having trouble getting started). For others, the ADHD takes care of it 😅
(And probably still full-assing too much, tbh)

A poem entitled "Recognition" superimposed over a pool of water in sunshine. The ripples on the water are meant to mimic scar tissue. Scars flex, but pull And time has dulled the knife So when you thrust in my direction I split a little, didn't I. A nudge, a slap, a wake up call Not a pierce as deep or true; But lying would I clearly be If I claimed to be unmoved. With consciousness I settle And tend the wound with care Remind myself that once again I need only be aware.

More writing 💜
This was inspired by a poem shared in a Patreon + recent life experience.

A great deal of our problems result from not holding those who tried to destroy our democracy accountable for their actions.

A poem on a gray background. The text reads: Love isn't a verb like they say Love is a preposition Love surrounds Love is in actions, objects, pronouns Love is in the ingredients Love is in the making Love is in the eating and Love is in the clean up. Love is above, below Over, under For, before, and after When I say I love I choose it everywhere In everything And I hope you choose it too

This can live here, too. 💜

(I wrote 4 poems today. Is there something in the air‽)

Blowing up a boat that allegedly had drugs in it and killing alleged gang members in international waters without any due process is pretty clearly not legal.

👇🎯 Again, for years now, there have only been two solutions to our fascism problem, & both require Republicans like Lisa Murkowski to actually do hard things to fulfill their oaths. Democrats cannot do this for them, & everyone’s anger/focus has been wildly misallocated:

107: Urban Multilingualism When we try to represent languages on a map, it's common to assign each language a zone or a point which represents some idea of where it's used or where it comes from. But in reality, people move aro

Many cities are host to hundreds of languages that don't show up on official records.

In this episode we get enthusiastic about urban multilingualism!

I hope you’re all enjoying this descent into madness.

The important thing to remember is what while I can’t sing, neither can eels, so this little jingle is very scientifically accurate.

So please. Get an eel facts advent calendar. You don’t have to wait until Christmas for eels. EelFacts.Net

I can tell if I sit down, this cat has plans.

Honestly one of the best reasons I can give you to plant native plants right now is that everything fucking sucks & a lot of it feels (or is) totally out of our control (depending on who you are). One thing most people can do is plant a plant and then look at bees happily sipping on it.

This is The Way. (My kids are not little, so the napkin stack is more for me 😅)

Ah. Just when one of the kidlets is expressing an interest.
