Hi! I'm Leah. I study sanctions, war and dictators professionally and Fungi personally. I'm a terrible millennial, prefer typewriters to computers, and am an insufferable optimist. I'm glad you're here.

A really neat thing about the internet is that regular, every day people can come onto websites like this one and decide to say something kind, uplifting or encouraging and turn a complete stranger's day totally around. I think that's an important thing to hold fast and remember.
I was in the adjacent Aldi parking lot while this was happening. They're kids. Both families torn up forever because of wild tempers with easy access to firearms. So profoundly sad.

A friend that I occasionally model for snapped a photo of me for a project he's working on, and if I had ANY musical talent, it would be an album cover. Maybe a single. I'm starting to love black and white photography, I think.

It is the year of absurd ornaments.
The ten foot tall gingerbread man and large candies for the outside of my house should be in soon. No one is ready for how absurd this cottage is about to be.

I don't eat turkey or really any Thanksgiving type food save for the occasional sweet potato so I tend to bake my own desserts and bring them to wherever, and that's my lunch. I didn't tell anyone the desserts were healthy and vegan until after they devoured them. Amazing how that works. 🙃

I don't really know how to adjust to not being on the road or working on Thanksgiving. The most I'm doing is going to visit close family later. I made some lovely cranberry crumble bars, and my wonderful spouse made his purple potato pie. I'm not mad at this type of holiday celebration.

A North Korean refugee that I was lucky enough to assist and grow to know named her baby Leah. She's 7 years old now, and I cherish every chance I get to hang out with her.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Welp, I thought I was going for a leisurely walk, but ended up calming a frantic barefoot child and helping her lasso a dog with no collar or leash as it was running down my street toward a highway....

Ms. Winnie Trombatore, my canine sister in law, did very well with her spaying a couple of days ago, and only mildly hates her recovery suit. 🩷🥹

Life advice: marry someone that gets giddily excited about stars and takes you for walks to tell you all about his favorites on clear nights like these. 💙✨

It is hard to express how weird it feels to be happy and joyful around holidays this year. I refused to decorate or have anything to do with Christmas for the longest time. Therapy and letting go of extremely toxic people (but still praying for them) has changed me completely.

Tonight, I am being shown music videos and songs by boy bands that I was supposed to like as a kid (nu metal and psychedelic rock raised me), and if these songs were people I'd want to punch them in all of their faces. This is all so bad.

My husband and I are both off today so we decided to go to breakfast together. He has now made friends with everyone in this cafe, and met the grandmother of a student he taught who proceeded to hug him and almost cry about how wonderful he is. Literally, the friendliest most jovial man ever. 💜

While people are talking thanksgiving food on here, I have to mention that my friends were always freaked out about my family not partaking. My paternal grandmother and aunts served lasagna and eels for both thanksgiving and Christmas. My mom's family didn't do Thanksgiving at all.

I don't know how to delicately tell people that are deeply offended by everything that isn't their specific lived experience that maybe they should log off, but maybe they should log off. It's seriously ok to just keep scrolling if something innocuous doesn't apply to you.
