Grumpy Black crone who likes to think and explore (and seek mindfulness, within reason). In pfp: a hedgehog with a kente kufi on its head, and red laser eyes. Not chill. “Coward American” — an opp. The aging, unsociable 🦔 rescue watches over me now. 🪽

Past midnight. Time to go. Honestly, extending my full return date until October 4. I enjoy hanging out with you all, but I just need more space to think about next steps, health-wise. See ya next Sunday.

Between that and the Nolan Wells AI nonsense I had the misfortune of coming across has my misanthropy at an all time high. I need these degenerates to really log off and go outside, preferably off a cliff. It makes me want to puke, it turns my stomach so bad how souless these people are.

If you love stationary and based on sales, I think a lot of people do. Here's a gentle nudge to move past "collecting" and to actually USE the stationary. Write letters to friends and family. Send thank you notes. Write actual cards and MAIL THEM.

An interesting update on this: deconstruction *is* also happening on the motherland (🇳🇬 included) where people are both uplifting their indigenous cultures and questioning what doesn’t serve them (the patriarchy in many African marriages, hair styling, fundamentalist religion etc).

Anyway, I hope my PT clears me to return to lifting soon. Bodyweight, Pilates and energetic yoga flows are cool, and challenge my body in interesting ways, but I’m not a beginner and the mental effects don’t last as long (for me). Hopefully, stopping this weird med will stop the flare.

I’ve been so busy and wrapped up in so much going on, that I forgot to update: -My collards are taking off in their trays, but have no true leaves yet. - My green onion seedlings are slowly sprouting. - It wasn’t intentional, but I have a monocot (onion) and a dicot (collard)! Yay botany.

Once again, two connected themes of my life told through a limited series of superhero media: the asshole father (figure) outrunning a painful past and you also outrunning said past, appearing fearless and brave because you have no option. Props to the show’s team and to all who do the inner work.

Another update: my challenging project is winding down, but I’m legit burned out. I could feel my tiredness during errands today. The timeline got extended, then truncated at the very last minute. Had to put off my dentist appointment and work overtime, with four other coworkers checking my work.

Updates: - About to put down over two and a half Benjamins (and possibly more) for a dental followup. - After doing some digging on forums, I called my other specialist for a follow up and stopped taking an important med. Why? While not reported on the label, a side effect online is weak teeth.

I thought I was getting some “aliens in Nebraska” TV show. Every week, some aspect of my life is laid bare for all to see. I’m tired of this, grandpa! 🥲 With It: Welcome to Derry, there was the boundary of a different historical context to make things easier. Not here! 🥲

I don’t pivot so smoothly these days. I’m grateful for the few friends that let me send voice notes and texts to vent. You know one thing about social media that I miss, now that I’m away from it more? Commiserating in real time, no time constraints. Even if it’s one person that says “I know.”

Thinking about this in the grocery store. There has to be a distinct and discrete separation between acknowledgement and adoption. It’s important that we learn and study what’s going on in the right but we shouldn’t be making their habits and tendencies our own
