This blog post is holding space. Holding space for bad things that are happening today in the political world. Holding space for the memories of bad things that happened a year ago, today, too. I don’t want to talk. What I want to do is scream, cry, break things. Simultaneously angry and dissociated. Holding space.
It’s been kind of hard for me, the past few days, because I know school starts again soon, and I’m really enjoying seeing my kids. There has been lots of snuggling. Today I finally set up a chess board I got months ago, and got to play with my oldest. ♥️ I haven’t played chess …

Which reminded me of a blogger who really influenced me a decade or so ago, who I found the socials for. I started thinking about book authors who really …
it’s me, hi There have been so many awful things happening lately, especially the hurricanes in the southern/eastern US. I really don’t have the words to say anything other than it’s horrific. There are a lot of people who have already done the work of putting together places where ppl can help/donate, easily findable on …
Do you ever feel like the pain of being alive is just too much? I don’t know what it is. Sometimes I think it’s hormones. Sometimes I think it’s empathy. Sometimes I wonder if it’s fibromyalgia (joke, but also I do have it so it can be honestly hard to know.. *laugh-cry*). Seriously though. I …
