oh geez ty it's okay now🤍. oh wow, I had no idea of time apart; understand as I went through it when I lived in California, parents saved my life with moms open door to 25-year-old me and my kid.
This gives more context to you noticing how fast time is passing, aging parents; all of its hard!🤍

or young adults like one would wrangle being a substitute teacher 🤍

I'm on the other side of basically being rejected by my entire family except for my mother, who coincidentally?! was pretty much rejected by the entire family.
I've realized I'm not good at traditional relationships but I'm very good at plants and animals.

Oh man
incredibly relatable
esp the substitute teaching!
family ties
mine have bound me, sometimes gagged
(I've learned that I need a sort of emotional tether, but that can be accomplished w/a companion dog)
I can't say I wish that I didn't have kids but I think I was deeply disappointing as Mom

what I'm saying is that I come from humble beginnings but my parents were generous with what they had 🤍

It's nice to have access to a 🚗when you need it but then that matter of keeping it running💰
I would have given you a 🚗as well; it's sort of what parents do😉🤍
Mom and Dad were generous with their cars, sharing my first, a manual MercuryCapri, *the sexy European*,
then gifting an oldeVW camper🚌🤍 4 CA.

So his origin story includes something like Bezos selling used books, a good guy!
Achieves success,*nepo* babies both.
he's just another mediocre white guy who was born into privilege and did one or two decent things, before he descended into villainy.

Jason! you've acquired an 🚗! this is progress this must be progress because we have no public transportation and you cannot get around without a car in AZ
anyway when I've been broke, obtaining a car was a big deal because I've never lived in a walkable area and a car is essential.
good news?

I did not know that!
The explanation at last. Thank you.

Bonus shot of LunaDog on picnicbeach.
Reason why dog people are enamored of Laguna Beach is because dogs are allowed on the beach all year! (Between June 15th and September 1st, dogs cannot be on the beach between 9am and 6pm). Most dogs on the beach are walking.🐾🐩🐚

🪶 to recap! I, a lifelong learner currently on birding, was unaware, previous to today, that Verdin are *bird acrobats*. I learned this by observing verdin on two hummingbird feeders in my yard, seeming like the only problem they had was the wrong size beak, hanging upside down determined to eat.😀

🪶 Now we've planted so much fruit +berries in our yards that 🍄🟫 has moved in.
Was my idea to put out 2bird baths cuz we live in drought Everything else p much followed.
Most folx don't want pools cos they are a Pain2Maintain so the rent is competitive ($2150/US) w/ smol apt.

but yep I bet for people that were of military age 9/11 hit a certain way 😔

I have the most weird ass memory. I didn't associate any of this with my first child because he was out of the house temporarily, during 9/11. I don't even know what he thinks about it; isn't that strange? the 9-year-old didn't have any reaction nor does he have one still. hard to be a feeling human

my mother hated her nose, which had been broken I believe hang on for some Truth; I believe it had been broken by her own mother.
I look at my nose and I think my goodness it would look so much better if a wee bit of it were trimmed off. But it's never been broken! despite my ex's best attempts🙂↕️.

but also I miss her. 🩷

9/11💥 oh my gosh you were quite young weren't you? I had a nineyearold kid, at the time.
it did feel like war!
(I was not worried that my family would be bombed cos I lived in Chicago)
2025 is relentlessly grim, takes a great deal of energy to be a happy person. Most of the time, I dissociate. 🪷

I'm getting itchy and bored and restless and that just means I'm using Bluesky to distract myself from doing other things like, for example learning French or attempting, again to read an actual 📚.

*imo*
emotional trauma feels as relentless as war
and there's so much effed-up-ish every single day that there's no way to keep track of it all
it's a barrage

millions
but very hard to explain unless you are experiencing it.
unprecedented effed up times. worse than Vietnam in my opinion and that was the worst time of my life, the daily body count at dinner time and the boy across the street who went to Nam and never came back.
2025 is as traumatic as war

My goodness, that's a very harsh self-assessment.
In hindsight probably most of my wounds were based on my bad choices in relationships with men, but I give myself grace that I know better now.
Someone close to me has been looking for work since earning chemical engineering Masters.
