The view out my window is lovely. I might open the window and listen to the birds, but this jerk face pushed the screen out and it hasn't been replaced yet.

Coffee, birthday cake, and Lexapro for breakfast. Someday I will have to do something about all these carbs I'm consuming, but today is not that day.

Got a contact form message mentioning this post and mental health (presumably because it mentions NPD) and wanting to do a sponsorship. I LOLed. emilysuess.com/2019/12/13/g...

I think tomorrow I'll be extra loving and grateful for the kind people. This sucks, and I need to remind myself that love and optimism are real. Signing off. Be excellent to each other.

Normalize apologizing after you were wrong instead of being defensive and disrespectful because you're embarrassed.

Full of dread about the state of the world? Take a brief break by analyzing your Bluesky activity and instead feeling dread about how chronically online you are!

A few months ago, I watched Moana every night before bed and had to close my eyes during the part where she gets stuck in the coral because of my anxiety. But I've been working on myself so I can overcome my angst and be clear-headed enough to throatpunch some Nazis when necessary.

This is still going on for a bit. If you'd like to read the first 3 chapters for free of any of the novels before deciding, you can find the excerpts on their respective pages! Everything Is Wonderful Now: eiwn.carrd.co Open Wound: openwound.carrd.co It's Only A Little Death: little-death.carrd.co

The people are out of practice, so organizing is taking some time. But people are coming together. People are fighting back. It's ok to be scared, horrified, confused, and overwhelmed. This is just the beginning. People never give up. That's the lesson of history.

We've had a lot of rain and Dan's Pipsquatch™ statue is going to be buried in vegetation soon! Mom's landscaping is taking prisoners this year. #TimelineCleanse

Hell yeah! I made it to my doctor's appointment. Got the order for my AFO brace. WENT. DOWN. THREE. STAIRS. and walked up an inclined ramp when we got back -- all without a panic attack!

it turns out worthiness is normal not some extraordinary moment not a dopamine rush but a muscle's strength waiting in potential #poetry

What is with these recurring dreams I'm back on college campus and lost and keep riding elevators and not going to things I've committed to? Wait. Nevermind.

#3GoodThings 1. People finding joy despite hardship and making my heart full. 2. Ollie (one of our cats) took a nap next to me, so I could see all his cute but also still move. 3. I'm just brushing my teeth now, without an emotional support human. Like I'm normal.
