This morning was the first time I can remember my visual disabilities showing up in a dream. Someone was looking through handwritten notes in what I thought was Greek. And the person was like, "Are you blind, this is written in Gaelic?" And I replied, "I don't have my glasses on."

My excellent sister friend taught me the phrases, "Closed mouths don't get fed!" and "You have not, because you ask not." Anytime my pride or fear gets in the way of me sharing a need or even a want, I picture her clapping in my face to every syllable.

Do I take pride in the fact that I kept to my Starbucks boycott for the past year and some so staunchly that I did not qualify for a birthday drink this is year? Yes. Was I concurrently a little torqued when I went to look for it, and the email was not there? Also yes.

Another example of how racism find things for everybody, especially capitalists. I am not surprised that this happened to #Blade. They let momentum peter out on the Black Panther franchise in favor of embracing Ant-Man? Even after it blew everyone's minds & made legit blockbuster bank.

I lost a round of Wordle, dropping my winning percentage from 98% to 97%. I spent an inordinate amount of time this morning trying to figure out what kind of numbers I’d have to pull to reclaim my top 2% ranking. My inner hater is very displeased that scratch paper was needed to do said math.
Screenshot of a New York Times Wordle word puzzle “Congratulations!” board. Showing stats of 318 games played 97% winning rate, a 4 game current streak, and a maximum winning streak of 14. The guess distribution is 0 games won in one guess, 11 games won in two guesses, 82 games won in three, 132 won in 4, 66 won in 5, and 19 won in 6.
