Driving with kiddo when. Little voice says:
Lura? When I’m not with Mama and Daddy, I can watch [name of forbidden show.]
Me: Is that so?
Yeah. We can watch it on your phone.
Me: interesting.
I love it when they try to deceive but don’t yet have a theory of mind.
We did not watch the show.

Among the confusing cacophony of sensations in my brain when I woke up today was a tactile obsession with my new stole, with a soundtrack of “Don’t fuck a facist” by Chrissa Sparkles.

Hey ELCA: when a Queer or Trans person, or BIPOC give you another chance, that’s grace for you.
You should be dancing in the streets, and listening to every word of wisdom that drops from their mouths. Paving the way for them.

Inside of me there are two wolves. One values sustainability and wants to slowly replace my clothes with quality pieces from natural fibers. The other is chronically ill and wants every piece of soft fuzzy polyester fleece I see.
Unfortunately both wolves have access to my credit card.

Dear younger women: the reason they say “crazy cat lady” in that tone of voice is because they’re afraid you’ll notice that some of the happiest people in the world are middle aged women living alone with their pets.
