I wanted to study Latin in college, but my mom told me to take something more useful. So, I took Russian.
I’ve started learning Latin on Duolingo. My favorite thing so far is that “disco” is Latin for “I learn.”

The good news: my invasive eye treatments went from every 4 to 6 to 8 to 12 to now 15 weeks. The bad news: I still can’t fucking see clearly.

Had a lot of self-worth & identity tied to being a single, independent, female freelancer. For 16 years I managed to support myself, pay my mortgage, pay off my student loans, and stay out of debt. Even had some saved for the rainy day that was having a stroke.
Did not expect that cancelling my FreshBooks account would make me so teary. Just when I think I have a grip on being disabled something comes along to kick me in the teeth and remonds me it's not that easy.

I took a temp job at a software company because you could wear jeans & they had free pop. FREE POP!
(Coincidentally, I'm rightthissecond downloading 15 years of freelance data so I can cancel FreshBooks. Now that I'm disabled I can't work like I used to.)

“There is a certain kind of Replacements fan, I know, who is going to tear their hair out and be bothered in the extreme the second they read about “aesthetic strategies” and “artistic intention” in the context of their fave-ever band.”

When The Replacements' Courage Was at its Peak
On their 1984 album ‘Let It Be,’ the Minneapolis indie-rock wastrels spewed a message of working-class passion and outsider solidarity into the world's answering machine.

Just discovered my mom
recycled a bunch of “good” boxes I was saving for Christmas. More upset than this transgression warrants. Clearly she does not know a good box when she sees it.

The Healthy Benefits of Poor People’s Insurance
Dear Darling Ones, One of the benefits of being poor is the insurance, or at least it is right now. Who knows what the future holds for poor people insurance? Probably nothing. The only thing America hates more than black people, anyone not generally…

The Healthy Benefits of Poor People’s Insurance
Dear Darling Ones, One of the benefits of being poor is the insurance, or at least it is right now. Who knows what the future holds for poor people insurance? Probably nothing. The only thing America hates more than black people, anyone not generally white passing, LGBTQIA+, and women, is poor people. This country hates poor people because, like the good capitalist robots we are trained to be, we equate wealth with intelligence, hard work, and moral superiority.

The good news? I got to pick the color of my new wheelchair. The bad news? I’m struggling with needing a wheelchair.
I feel like I wasted my ability to walk by sitting on my ass so much.

It wasn’t too shabby. Cooking the Funyuns may have been a mistake. Some of them tasted like old fryer oil. Might be due to my aged Funyuns. Who knows?

I’m the kind of pedantic nerd/asshole who looks up when Flamin’ Hot Cheetos were invented (1990, released in 1992) to see if the book I’m reading is right. It was. I was wrong.

I quit a book today because I refuse to read any romcom that involves the love interests meeting by tripping over or spilling something on each other. I have quit so many books for this breach of literary conduct.

I finished it and now I’m broken. May need to stare at the wall for awhile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ May be the best novel I’ve read this year.
I’m reading “Heart the Lover” by Lily King. It is so delicate & wonderful my throat hurts and my chest is heavy. It is a privilege to be so moved by art.

My phone just autocorrected “Didion,” changing it to “Dixon.” The stream of expletives I said out loud was probably an overreaction. Maybe. It’s been a long day.
