Sinks. Why would anyone install a sink/faucet combo where you can’t reasonably fit your hand under the faucet without smashing your knuckles against the back of the sink? Is this just a me problem? I just want to wash my hands without having an intimate connection with the local plumbing.

I’d like to market a brand of water called “Catpaw” for people who leave glasses of water around their home. Catpaw consumers won’t have to wonder if their feline friends sampled their beverages when the glass was unattended because they already know. It’s Catpaw.

I just had the brilliant idea of creating a custom sized Post-it note that would fit on the back of my phone. I was so proud of myself for this new invention- oh, the riches! Then I realized, and you might be there already, my phone is essentially a big Post-it note. Back to the drawing phone.

The phrase “threw up a little in my mouth” is so much more exciting when you change the person doing the vomiting.

My sweetie and I went into town (downtown Santa Fe) yesterday for his birthday lunch. The number of ppl cosplaying as cowpeople was a little ridiculous. Never in my life, and I am from here, have I thought, “this outfit needs a red bandana tied around my neck and a big ugly hat.”

Oh hai. If you are writing an NIH grant and you have a cool graphic or model and you are thinking, I’ll just make it a little smaller because the reviewers are getting them as pdfs and can see the images as big as they want… don’t. Too small is still too small. Can’t see. Wasted space, tiny words.

The guy in front of me in the TSA line had a reflex hammer with him in his carry-on, which he took out and put in the bin separately. Like he is used to being stopped and searched because his reflex hammer raises red flags on the scanner. So many questions.

Metal hammer with rubber tipped ends. Looks like a medical device.

I don't care how long it's been or how much of a sh*t show it's been: re-start your trauma or addiction recovery (or both) today. Forgive yourself & focus forward. I swear to you it's not too late.

If you're a trauma survivor, you probably have lots of practice creating whole other worlds-- compete w/ whole other versions of yourself-- inside you. We're real good at creating "escape hatches"-- which is also why books, movies, & shows often resonate so powerfully w/ us.

My big achievement today was getting out of bed before 8am. Then I ate my breakfast and made it to my desk before 9am. Long COVID is not going to win today. I also took a few minutes to play with the cats because they are people too. (I used to be a morning person, but COVID changed that).

You haven’t really lived until you left one meeting to get a tooth filled, opted against having a lidocaine injection because it would take too much time, then raced home so you could work on that grant some more before your next call. Lolsob. This is not living. Also: ow.

I have been living with Long COVID for nearly 6 years now. 6 years of watching my friends, family, and peers go about their lives while I wait for something to change. 6 years of hoping for an answer. I am a pretty patient person, but today? Today it sucks.

I saw a stand up comedian the other night. He got big applause when he announced he is newly engaged. Then he said they are considering the parent thing. Not so much with the clapping. I don’t know if I would want to have kids today. The world is not feeling very safe right now. Nope nope nope

Hi. Just a little heads up on a language issue: Impatient- not able to wait, restless. “Jolitah was impatient after waiting to see her doctor for 8 hours at the IHS clinic. Inpatient- a hospitalized person. “Jolitah’s infection required her to spend a week inpatient on IV antibiotics.”

I keep thinking about this moment when my first child was born. Picture this- it is 2004, my husband and I show up to the hospital after a long night of laboring at home. Our doula was with us, and I was hellbent on having an unmedicated birth.

I recently decided that my hobby is DJ. I bought a thing related to my hobby and the seller offered to help me download the software. At first I thought, typical man. I can do the downloading thing myself. But I slept on it & reconsidered. Call me damsel not in distress. Bring me bonbons.

I’d add, “I can participate in research, science, art and/or agriculture without fear my people’s ancient knowledge, land and evolutionary history will be robbed and sold to the uber wealthy and be sold back to me at a price I can’t afford.”

After quite a bit of thought about the holiday, thinking about my position as a Native woman and the huge amount of work that goes into making a meal to observe a Colonizer Narrative holiday that I don’t really care about, I propose we rename it to: Men’s Gluttony Day

I just realized I can’t die until they have a cure for ADHD because I have way too many unfinished projects and it would be far too embarrassing. And I would be the ghost who wanders my house at night looking for wherever the new residents hid the double sided tape.

I mean, maybe it was impolite for me to ignore the person at the door but I needed to finish my embroidery stitch and the at home sleep study people said they would get here at 8pm not 7:50 so it isn’t really my fault. Blame the guy who let the sleep study person in and then bailed on me mid-stitch.

I like to protest and say, “if you insist” over nothing. Like when I go to bed, I’ll tell the cats, “if you insist.” Putting my spoon in the dishwasher? “If you insist.” Crushing the patriarchy by rejecting the status quo at every step? “If you insist.”

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

It’s not just the executive orders. It’s the foul and divisive rhetoric, the language of hate and discrimination that is germinated within the EOs. Every single EO seeds a field of discord that will take generations to undo. Simply letting them lay fallow will never heal the harms they sow.
