Worship of just one god with the acknowledgement that there are others.

I know I know functional freeze lack of third spaces where is my village suburban sprawl.

Still a cultural surprise.

Sidenote: my watch informs me that as I posted this I developed an abnormally high heart rate.

Thanks for keeping the score, body! ✌️

5) I was in a low key cult led by my best friend and mentor who was 20 years older for almost all of my 20s. She financially and emotionally abused me significantly. It feels weird and embarrassing to call it a cult but it pretty definitely was and I generally find it hard to talk about.

4) I have hemochromatosis, which means my blood has too much iron in it. The treatment is bleeding. As if A and I could be any more each other's soulmates.

3) I haven't seen it, but the musical Come From Away is about an experience I lived through and participated in.

I don't usually like media about my home created by people who aren't from there but I'll probably check it out someday.

2) when I was touring a lot, my contract had very general accommodations reqs. I should have known when the event sponsor confirmed I was catholic and then separately that I was unmarried, but it wasn't until I arrived at the address that I realized it was a convent.

Honestly it was great.

1) my paternal grandmother's family was very, very rich (and intermarried with some interesting people) for a generation or two thanks to rum running.

I'm dying. My sister (future genre fiction writer) convinced me fully for several years that I was a secret green alien hiding on earth. There was a full political backstory. I really believed it. She's also a fan of yours. I can't wait to read this 🌱

Next time someone comes at me with some "the moral arc of history bends towards justice" trash I will probably counter by telling them we live in a factory second Atlas Shrugged world.

Ok go forth and discuss which liquors are being removed from shelves and energy tarrifs my friends.
