These little ducks are why I get up in the morning.
Also, so much beauty.
I went again for the first time this past weekend, because I desperately need to feel like things will be "normal" again some day. Covid was just one drop in a big bucket full of trauma of the past 6 years and I'm still reeling, but the smell of forced hyacinth that greeted me helped a bit.
In February of 2020, we went to the Northwest Flower and Garden show with a friend, like we had for 4 years before. There were early rumblings brewing about Covid19, and we were worried but decided to still go. That was the last "normal" thing we did before the lockdown. ☁️
Beautiful, thank you. It's hard not to drown in the despair, but then, the point is to drown us, isn't it? I'm trying my best to dig deeper into my community and hope it's enough.
Start stockpiling your brain meds, my friends. #ssri #rfkjr #brainworm #depression #anxiety #neurodivergent #ND #adhd #autism
This is just going to be my response every time some stupid nazi complains about any of the consequences they asked for.
Ok, lied, not starting the mushie lady yet. I'm making my big kid a rainbow cat stitch scarf first because my neurons are too fried for amigurumi right now and my kid is having a tough time and needs rainbow cats. So there.

I'm so damn tired.
good. more like this. don’t give those fucking weasels a moment of quiet
Dude, I wish.
I'm refusing to change my calendar from Dec 2024.
If my 5 year old is smart enough to say "I think I should wear a mask because I'm sick and I don't want to get people sick" I'm not sure why it's still a difficult concept for grownass adults.
I'm about to start Mushroom Fables' "Thicc Mushroom Lady" #amigurumi pattern because I may as well put some of this anxiety into making something beautiful. Probably the most complicated amigurumi I've done, and first with a wire armature. Should be fun!

Witch hazel is blooming, just in time for the snow. The horrors persist, but so do we.
Brains are assholes sometimes.
I know I'm not frightebed enough. If I let myself be frightened enough, I would be unable to function and I can't do that. So I'm allowing enough fear to motivate, and hoping that's enough for now.
#booksky I don't know that I have any solid idea what the heck is going on in "Gideon The Ninth" but I'm really enjoying it anyway.
Cool how many of my kid's safe foods are on this list. Not to mention daily essentials. But tell me again how he supposedly gives even the tiniest of flying fucks about anyone that's not a billionaire.
In case you’re wondering what’s about to get MORE expensive, helpful FOX scroll. 👀 #TrumpTradeWar
Also, in other news, my big kid drew a a pink and purple penis on our front step. He claims it's a train track but... it's a penis that greets you when you come to my door.
The biggest blessing of all the mayhem and grief of 2020 was that, when the world got quieter and smaller, we found our people. We are blessed to have a community that we love and trust and I'll do whatever I need to do to protect them.
Off to spend almost $600 to start the process of my wife having to adopt her own children... will likely cost us close to $2k overall and that should fucking criminal but yet, here we are. See also, the fun experience of having to explain to our 5 year old why we have to do this.
We're dealing with some big, tough stuff right now on the family level, on top of the epic shitshow of big, tough stuff in the global scale. Good vibes, prayers, whatever flavor of good energy you subscribe to, it's all needed right now.
Caveat being: I finished The Wren In The Holly Library by K.A. Linde on 1/10 but started it back in December. Also, listened to How To Train Your Dragon and How To Be A Pirate by Cressida Cowl with the kiddo. So I guess I'm really 4 books in? But books for me only? 1.5.
