Here is a very important photo of me dropping a bowling ball because I think that sometimes it’s important not only to laugh at yourself, but also to share those moments so other people can laugh at you, too. Enjoy.
I miss my mom. That’s it. That’s all. I miss her and I wish she was here. She wasn’t perfect, no one was. But she was mine and now she’s gone. Now a certain portion of my mother’s bones are considered my property. What a crock of shit.
If you haven’t already heard, my mom died. She’s been gone for two weeks and three days today. Today, my dad and I planted a tree in her honor with some of her and her sister’s ashes. It wasn’t as cathartic as everyone said it would be.
I wasn’t old enough to watch a hearse pull out of her driveway, knowing that the last thing I’d ever see of my mother was her elbow peeking out from under a sheet.
Finding out I have hEDS in my late 20s is kind of like falling down in the skating rink. When you know HOW to skate, but you tripped and now everyone else is skating too quickly around you and you know if you could just get up you’d be fine, but you don’t know how.
Love the appreciation for Kim Petras, but she's not the first trans woman ever to win a Grammy, that's Wendy Carlos!
Trans synth queen Carlos won 3 Grammys for "Switched-On-Bach" in 1969. She later went on to compose the soundtracks for The Shining and A Clockwork Orange.
@AutisticCoach_ For still water, I keep a yeti type cup full of ice and must drink water so cold it hurts.
Sparkling water, however, must be room temperature.
@pot8um I don’t mind loading the dishwasher, or washing dishes by hand. I HATE unloading the dishwasher. Jonah almost never lets me do it, and if I do, we do them together. Jonah works so I don’t have to, and still has never once complained about the one chore I don’t do.
@trippymosaic It is terrifying and big and so hard and i’m sorry you’re dealing with it. I know there’s nothing I can say to make you feel better, but if you want to talk to someone who won’t say “I know how you feel” or try to insincerely cheer you up, my DMs are open.
