She told me, "If I choose to date, the dating has to fit into my life as it is." And that idea sprung a leak in me. How many times had I stretched my time, attention, kindness, and love to fit over a man - all for him to stay for the labor, without really loving me?

I'm not great in a group project. But, I don't start my messages "Listen here you fuckers", and i think that shows great moral fortitude. A lot of growth.

People drop in little complaints and sorrows into their conversations. And sometimes, !!wow!! that was abuse, homie.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Loving the paperpiecing

Garry Kasparov: "To be fair (to Pete Hegseth) you don’t really need a functional Department of Defense if you’re going to surrender to your greatest enemy in your first month in office.".

I'll have to check

When you fire a bunch of air traffic controllers, then you have a bunch of accidents: you are not saving US money

When you fire a bunch of poultry inspectors, then you have a massive outbreak that wipes out chickens & eggs, leading to soaring scarcity & soaring prices: you are not saving US money

I live in a large apartment complex. There are never any parking spaces in front of my building when I get home from work. So seeing the multiple cars parked there with snow from the first fall still covering them...🤬

Just putting in the grommets. Probably won't have time to braid the lacings, but I'll get the kumihimo set up.

Correction, I could have hand sewn as a fix. Glue is gonna be better than my hand sewing by miles. Corset might just spontaneously combust if I hand sewed it.

So, I fucked up the corset. My plan was flawed from the beginning, and to make it work, I broke out the fabric glue. And now I've popped the glue cherry, we're just gluing willy nilly. And I don't feel as bad as I should. The project will be finished and wearable - period.

I've been tensed up with sewing lately. And I can see that I feel like shit because I've been mainlining energy drink, not eating or drinking enough, sitting in one place, and not taking my vitamins.

See, I'm not neurospicy, I can see things outside my project.

Continues unchanged.

All the boning is in. Tomorrow, we will finish up to the grommeting.

I wasn't born to be a people, pleaser. That is something for survival. I am a creature of magic and art and love.

Cut out the canvas today. I'll have the bones in by the end of the day.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my followers who are currently having sex while reading this post

The world is not more dangerous in random violence on the streets. A tazer or concealed gun will not keep me safer. In fact, the opposite. And I'm surprised that more people haven't hurt themselves in their "self-defense."
(They probably have and just not reported it.)

Tomorrow is national wear a speedo day. Mandatory. Don't Google it. Trust me bro.

one party is trying to kill us and the other doesn't want to be rude and interrupt them

I'm not sure who decided that Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell was the inside joke we were all gonna share. But, teehee.
