I hate the summer. The end. Kidding. But not really. Summer is everything I hate in the world, writ large. Let’s start with heat. To me, anything over 60 is too hot. But, I find it wild that people set their AC at 72 or lower! There was a thread on Ask A Manager in… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was talking about how when I was young, I didn’t see a future for me. I mean that both literally and figuratively. I did not see myself being alive or wanting to be alive. I honestly thought I’d be dead by my mother’s age (which at that time was 55, so… Continue Reading
When I was little, I had no dreams for the future. Mostly because I didn’t think I had one, nor did I really want to live. I just made my way through each day, hanging on until the end. Oh, wait. I had one dream. That was to be an actor. I loved to perform… Continue Reading
I am going to talk about two seemingly disaparate things that are actually related. I was just messaging with K about the hate-fest that was happening in Philly. The Prejudiced Moms Who Want to Outlaw Minorities conference that I refuse to give its proper name. She was telling me that it has been dubbed Klanned… Continue Reading
In the RKG Discord, someone was going off on gatekeeping. Not in video games, but elsewhere. His main point was that as long as someone wasn’t hurting someone else, let them like what they like. I agreed because I have been put down for my tastes all my life. I find it more amusing than… Continue Reading
There is a post today on Ask A Manager on bad ice breakers. In general, I don’t like them (though I don’t have to do them) because at best, they’re bland and boring. At worst, they’re othering and fraught. I mean, “What’s your favorite movie?” is boring for the most part, but for me, it’s… Continue Reading
I listen to NPR/MPR when I am in the car. Which, to be fair, isn1’t that often these days. only to go grocery shopping, which is once or twice a week. One time, I heard a panelist talking about how people tend to think too much of the impact they have on the world. We… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I wrote about sleep and how mine has been getting more erratic in the past few months. I was not sure why because it’s been pretty consistent since I left the hospital. A tight eight hours, waking up once to pee. Yes, I had been pushing the time back later and later, but I… Continue Reading
For whatever reason, today is a blah kind of day. I had a rough sleep night, which…I’m worried. Before I ended up in the hospital, i had shitty sleep. I was legendary for it, honestly. When I was in college, I got four hours a night and was barely functioning. With Taiji, I inched my… Continue Reading
My brother and I were talking about our parents. we don’t talk about them that often, but it comes up more often because my father’s dementia is getting worse. He can still recognize us, but we don’t know for how long. He is getting more and more confused about other things, though, such as where… Continue Reading
