Michelle, my grell… these are words that go together well.

@LibraryKath Sometimes I go with "Hang on! What about the fleas!"

Like... smaller humans, I got beat up for being me when I was your age! Now look at all of you being me because you think it's a good idea??? WHAT!!!

Lately, lots of kids in my sphere have been asking me for style advice, where I buy my cloths and game gear... some of them have even been talking like me.

I'm a trend setter for nerdy pre-teens.

I don't know what I SHOULD think, but I think it's hilarious.

I wish more people were less certain.

@TheCedarForge Truly the face of a toddler insisting they don't need to go potty.

Searched Amazon for "gluten free snacks" because I work in a children's program and need snacks for ALL the kids...

One of the search results was an Annie's variety box of cheese crackers?? And graham crackers?? None of them gluten free???

Don't kill kids, Amazon. Cheeses.

Rent should be lowered the longer you live somewhere not up.
I should be rewarded for my years of paying you on time every month

Sometimes, there are instances in TTRPGs where the moment is greater than anyone could have expected.

In those moments, fuck the dice. Fuck the mechanics. Fuck the rules.

Tell the story that is demanding to be told.

Your game will ultimately be better for it.

@noahgrand I saw TWO out in the wild on the same day a little bit ago.

@Glassflippers @CantripCandles I did their DIY candle scent design class and have been burning that candle SO SPARINGLY. I love it so much 😭

(Also... I would so love to do that class again if you want to do it with me!!)

@nessguerrero For a little while, I got to say "You take a right between the gun store and the Jesus Saves sign," every time I gave directions to my home. 🙃

Anyway... ramble-ramble-ramble... your mistakes are beautiful, your progress is beautiful, your choices are beautiful, YOU're beautiful, and I'm proud of you.

I tutor a kid in knitting. I'd say about 10% of the goal is to impart knitting skills, and 90% is all the other brain benefits of knitting.

Yesterday, this kid somehow ended up with 29 stitches in a row instead of 20 and asked for help. I asked her...

[Jane Adams @OtherJaneAdams]

You go in for knitting skills, you come out with radical self acceptance support.

Besides, if you're asking me... I don't think the dedication it takes to master ANY skill is worth it if you can't accept yourself in the process.
