Oh HELLO poetry acceptance in my inbox!!

Men have really decided that this week is THE week to say weird shit to me. And baby, that throwing-sand-on-the-playground shit didn’t work when I had tiny pigtails. It works even less well now.

CAT BREAK

The FB friend suggestion algorithm is always SO drunk. It's either "person who bullied me in middle school" or "very famous human who does not know I am alive." Yes, I have friends in common with Robert Redford, apparently.

🚨🚨🚨

I am *very* much a "you made me smile" person. Because hearing that kind of thing is its own magick. And shared joy is the best joy. And I think people need to know when they've made you happy. It's a simple thing. But it matters.

I've cleaned. I've made soup. I had breakfast. I checked in on some friends. And now, writing. **cracks knuckles**

My fictional heroes are general Leia, Buffy, and the entire cast of Empire Records. You really think I’m gonna keep my mouth shut when it comes to politics? Damn the man. (Which is to say, no. I’m not.)

When the wrong person (racist assholes) will take what you're doing/saying and run with it as approval, the right thing is to stop. If terrible person thinks what you're doing is good, then you stop doing it. Period. This thread was excellent. Calling people out matters. Speaking up matters.

Hey fed neighbors:

Meal prep for the week includes spicy (actually spicy) black bean soup.

Tonight, I made my very first waffle. I can make crème brûlée. Holiday meals from soup to nuts from scratch. But I’ve somehow lived my adult life having never made a waffle myself. So, I learned how to make a waffle. And it was good. The bottom line here is: learning is never linear. 1/?

Darlings!! Do YOU want to support some cool art made by cool people? Allow me:

If you have to wonder if I’m flirting with you, the answer is no.

THIS GODDAMN ASS CLOWN
