Sometimes a snarky wit, sometimes political, sometimes treating this place like it's my college LiveJournal account. Supportive when I can be. *** Bodily autonomy is a human right. *** Constitutional convention for the new millennium when?

So many drafts trying to say where I'm at, so little ability to express it without getting into too much detail. Doing it poetically doesn't fit -- there's too much acceptance to dive into longing or blame, too much knowing it's both broken and not-broken, and it's just the way things are.

In 2021, murals & graffiti appeared in Buenos Aires celebrating the capybara invasion and their occupation of the private closed Nordelta neighborhood, in the north of Buenos Aires :)

Sometimes there’s too much going on in the world and you need to look at a large ridiculous bird for a minute. shoebill (Balaeniceps rex)

If anyone ever introduces themselves to me by saying "I have come for the girl in the window," I will probably follow them to the end of the world, and further.

Someone should give me a prize for doing the right thing for myself even though it was incredibly painful. I tried giving myself one, and that's just not the same.

Oh look, I'm vaguebooking on bluesky. open.spotify.com/track/41Gueg...

Any living being with stretch marks can tell you one shitty fact about the world: Growth hurts.

Okay, I know it was just her customer service shtick, but uuuggghhhh! The barista at the somehow-indie-in-an-airport coffee shop I was just at called me "my love," "lovely," "my heart" and I am *swooning*.

I don't always have good ideas, but microdosing before this flight was definitely one of my better ones recently. Nice to have a lil relaxation kick in right before wheels-up.

no lies detected. #civilrights

Okay, fine. If Wayne motherfucking Brady is single, and Dolly "I'm gorgeous, talented, and had a stable 60-year marriage" Parton nonetheless felt insecure in her r'ship sometimes, maybe I'll start considering the possibility that I'm not just a worthless person when it comes to finding partnership.

Not me, a full-grown adult, crying in the morning listening to a Mister Rodgers song.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Hey brain, I know you're worried, but could you please let me get more than 4 hours of sleep per night more than once or twice a week? I'm gonna be on a mountain on Sunday, and need my energy.

The nice thing about having gotten a new mattress is that I'm sleeping deeper than I have in over half a year. The less nice thing about sleeping more deeply is now I'm dreaming memorably just about every night, like there's a damn backlog of dreams I'm supposed to have or something.

What's my favorite website on the internet? Thanks for asking. It's the lyrics page for Tequila.

OK SO MORE INDEPTH THOUGHTS ON THIS: Host/guest culture is inherently anticaptitalist. It's based on resource/need but no goods exchange, just the understanding that someone who has might need to feed someone who has not, and that this exchange is sacred

Weird pet peeve: When people call a crinoline a tutu. Like 90% of the garments people call tutus these days are actually crinolines.

I used to joke that my retirement plan was the fact that I'm on multiple people's "zombie apocalypse survival team" wish lists. Now when I say that, it... almost feels more realistic than expecting to live on an investment portfolio.

Well, if you melt it then there will definitely be high water.

I swear, if y'all were half as organized about harassing reps as you are about telling swing states how to vote, we would've had most of this administration gone on charges of treason already.

Okay all y'all 334.139 million USians who DON'T live in Wisconsin. The 5.961 million of us who live here Did The Thing. Now please get off our backs and go bother your actual representatives to protect the dang Constitution. At least they CHOSE a gig where being pestered is part of the package.

For those thinking of telling a Wisconsin voter that they need to get out and vote today, we fucking know. We've been getting mailers for months & are sick of your nagging. Sure, we'll do what we can, but how about YOU get out and do something instead of scolding people six states over to go vote?

I think it's kind of funny that nobody talks about how universal the desire to go all the way up tall things/places is among humans. Like, somehow we've all just accepted that "How can I get to the top?" is a totally normal thing to think upon seeing a new Tall Place.
