A few months ago Phil asked “what if I could retire early?” We sketched out some dates and called it Plan A. Here we are. Tomorrow is his last day and the house closes on the 7th. He will join me on the 10th and then we’ll start a new adventure!

Working in the South is different, especially around LGBTQ issues. I was happy to find another Bi person on staff yesterday, for moral support! Here, have a Bisexual Pride Possum!

My older kid is a jeweler and he has his first show this weekend. Things are very stressful and up in the air for a variety of reasons and I’d just appreciate if you could spare a thought for a young autistic artist getting started. He makes weird little guys:

Why does every single AI generated poster or flyer have these 3 little spurting lines? They hoovered up all the content in the world and this is the best it can do?

To achieve this look: 1. Have unruly hair 2. Wash and condition hair 3. Skip product 4. Go to bed with damp hair 5. Have a restless night’s sleep 6. Wake up and look askance at your reflection

Phil unearthed this last night and we spent a good deal of time poring over it and listening to the music. This is one place where our age gap reveals itself - I was a freshman in college that year, while he was a new father.

A poem about being #autistic
Pearl
Amy was loud
And stubborn
She had curiosity
But also
A rigidity
And a drive to tell the truth
To only do what was right
These things were shushed
And smoothed
And transmuted into 
Anxious stomachaches
Headaches
Bad dreams 
But still much less embarrassing 
Than the shrill self-righteousness 
She was born with
All of that was covered over
Like the grain of sand in a pearl
There are no more spiky edges
Just a helpless sense of black and white
That burbles up from time to time
Frustrating the nuanced 
Amy was loud
But now she is quiet
She doesn’t even remember
What she sounded like
Before
