I’ve been fascinated with the weather in the last week or so (well, all “spring” really, and spring is in quotes because it’s been anything but) because it’s as if winter is just refusing to leave. We Minnesotans are used to variant weather in March and April, but things are usually pretty settled by May.… Continue Reading
It’s 32 degrees right now, and we have a frost advisory. A FROST ADVISORY! It’s May 6th. For fuck’s sake. And, yes, I said this yesterday as well, but it was 40 ‘feels like’ 39 at the time. Now it’s 32. This is right in my wheelhouse, but as I’ve mentioned before, my body is… Continue Reading
Right now, it’s 40 degrees, but it ‘feels like’ 39. On May 5th. We are nearly halfway through the year, and we’re still having frost warnings. As anyone who knows anything about me knows, I love cold weather–the colder the better. The problem is that I do not love cold mixed with hot. Going from… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about knowing what you know and suddenly hitting your limits. My brother was over with his girlfriend tonight— Side note: My brother’s girlfriend is also GF/DF, which means that I can be chill about what they’re bringing over. I don’t have to worry about my big issues, gluten and dairy.… Continue Reading
There’s a saying, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” It’s trite, yes, but it’s also true. That’s not a problem in and of itself with one huge caveat–the person knows that there are limitations to what they know. Sadly, there are many people who do not know that, and many of them are in… Continue Reading
Because I live in my own little world, I often forget that most people are more fixated on gender than I am. Here is my post from two days ago (I skipped yesterday) in which I maundered about the travesty of gender roles rigidity. I’m still thinking about it because I’m still watching stuff that… Continue Reading
One more post about gender? Yes, sadly. Here is the post from yesterday in which I talked about how I just did not feel gender at all or get it. I was reading a question and (answers) about gender (eh, kind of. It’s good enough for the purpose of what I want to write in… Continue Reading
I want to talk about gender, age, honorifics, and Asian culture for one more post. In the last post, I ended up talking about labels, toxic love, and whatever else was on my mind. Today, I’m going to continue the trend of intending to talk about one topic and ending up talking about anything but.… Continue Reading
In my post from yesterday, I was going to talk about gender and ended up talking about how I was a weirdo in general. Which is fine because it’sr related–somewhat. I also talked about what a disappointment the movie, Knives Out, was for me. I won’t get into all of it, but I will say… Continue Reading
I have one more post in me about gender/age, Asian culture, and why I really don’t fit anywhere. Here’s the post I wrote about it yesterday in which I talked about how society likes to say that you should be yourself, but then punishes the people who are way outside those norms. I’m not talking… Continue Reading
