And for the love of ANY DEITY OF YOUR CHOOSING, do NOT gift me baby knits. I promise - I have my own baby covered.

Sigourney Cleaver @beccamallette.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I’m a knitting snob. It’s just who I am. I’m really glad your chunky chenille knits make you so happy! They’re simply not for me just like proper tension and gauge, plied yarns, and studied techniques are not for you. #craftsnark #ImMostlyJoking #StopGiftingMeChenille

Today was my last day at the company I’ve been with for 5 years. It’s bittersweet. I love so many of the people I’ve worked with but I am burnt. Exhausted. Drained. I’m taking two weeks and a day until starting the new gig. I’m going to sleep a lot.

Washing a full day’s worth of sunscreen (and Pride parade glitter) off in a Sunday-after-7PM shower has to be as close to a divine sensation as I can currently imagine

I know that it does more harm than good to contradict the perspective or ideas of somebody in memory care. For my part, I do my best to go along with whatever my dad says and not cause him additional stress Instead, I just hold that stress myself.

AND I QUOTE “The elderly have been known to choke on them!” Again, my geriatric self was 31 years old at that time. I stared her down without blinking until she backpedaled. I saw her at a concert a couple weekends ago. She’s 30 now. I wonder if she choked on any chia seeds lately.

and I have the type of personality that requires me to trudge up each hill and explain why it’s dumb to die there. Well, one time we were discussing preferred breakfasts and I mentioned my homemade yogurt with chia seeds. She became quite concerned and asked if I was sure to hydrate them because:

When I was 31, I moved from academia to the corporate world. I was the oldest on my team and the youngest was a girl fresh out of college. We all got along really well but eventually, I found myself casually at odds with the youngest teammate. She had a lot of hills to die on…

Rewatching The Wonder Years as an adult and there’s a LOT to take in. The poignancy of the time period and Vietnam. The actors who got their start through this series. But mostly, how Kevin Arnold is the blueprint for every asshole main character we continue to see. He’s the primordial Ted Mosby

Today, during the twice weekly phone call, he reminded me that the phone works both ways and they'd love to hear from me more. I'm so fucking tired. And the truth is, I'm looking forward to this all being over but unfortunately, assholes live forever.

She has two adult daughters whose children are out of or in college and actually live in the same state. It was such an unreasonable request that I nearly laughed in her face. This woman would rather I put my life on hold to deal with her husband than ask her two kind and helpful daughters.

I elder-proofed their house in two days as best I could and to their credit, my stepsisters awakened like elder care sleeper agents the minute I said Go. They see the problems and are doing the work. Then my stepmom asked if I could be of more help going forward. Again, I live across the country.

he instead relied on his trademark hostility and belligerence to shout down his in-laws. So I had to do it. I had to step up against my original bully and be the bigger asshole. But I got the job done. He was professionally evaluated by a third party. They took the keys and revoked his license.

Sigourney Cleaver @beccamallette.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

A year ago, I experienced an emotionally devastating visit during which I had to organize a family intervention to take his keys away because he's 81 years old fall risk with PARKINSON'S AND DEMENTIA, he was still driving. Because he's an asshole and refused to hear a word against his abilities...

I broke my leg last month and now he calls 2x/week to check-in. Every time I have to say: No, I will not be getting a lawyer to sue myself. No, I can't visit right now but we'll see how things go after PT. Yes, I do think it's a good idea he and his wife move into an assisted living facility.

I've had a difficult relationship with my dad for 2 decades. I do not like the man. He moved across the country when I was 10 and made it my responsibility to maintain the relationship. I had to be the one to visit him and any problems we have are my fault. Now he has Parkinson's-induced dementia🧵

All this said, I have had two unwavering companions throughout this entire ordeal. For the most part, that cat can fuck off but Angus, my baby boy, has stayed with me, asking for very little beyond constant physical contact. At this time 4 weeks ago, my husband and I were in the ER.

Also Truth: The grief for what I've lost is potent today and I'm struggling. I was on such an upswing before the injury and the very thought of clawing my way back from this abrupt deficit is exhausting.

Truth: While I'm still non-weight-bearing, I'm healing at a remarkable pace. I attended the game last night & my team was so excited to see me. I could feel their joy & relief at seeing me hobble around in good spirits. I was glad to be by the bench, pumping them up between jams, & cheering them on.

I came back to roller derby after a 5Y hiatus, wavering between anxiety and determination, eager to regain a part of who I was and the community I loved prior to COVID ending my team's undefeated season.

Both. We will be in person next week Wednesday and then our DM will be traveling so we'll be back online. The group xp runs the gamut so you'd be well cared for, rules-wise. Next week, our only goal is to blow up cultists that took over a town, which could be a fun time to see how you like us!
