"Your armpits are balding, aren't they? They were a little more lush when I met you." - my husband, observing my progression deeper into middle age 👵

Yes, I am waiting for a prescription that was supposed to arrive yesterday and no longer even has a delivery date attached to it. I have it on good authority that that post office is a fucking shitshow.

I asked my dad what he’d like to do for Father’s Day and he said he’d like to go to the movies. I’ve since been informed that he’d like to see The Devil Wears Prada 2.

I got caught in the rain and now my hair looks stupid so I should probably cancel all my sessions and go home.

I’m troubled by how quickly I went from “I can read more comfortably with reading glasses” to “I can’t read a goddamned thing without reading glasses.”

Just drove down Baxter Ave and saw a two-car accident in which one had flipped over (!) and then not a block later I watched a woman hit a parked car, swerve out and then back, and hit another parked car. Louisville, what are we doing?

I have a new story out, a strange love story, about…an ant. Thank you to @variantlit.bsky.social and to editor @suzyeynon.bsky.social for including me in their gorgeous summer issue! variantlit.com/the-peony-ant/

The Peony Ant by Nora Maynard

Beatrice was celebrating her 24th birthday alone, so she bought herself a bunch of peonies at the bodega. Back at her apartment, she arranged them in a glass pitcher she used for lemonade. As she bent to smell the flowered’ fragrance, she noticed an ant. Its glossy body stood sharp against the pink petals, like three dark beads strung on a wire.

Many happy returns of the day, said the ant, tilting its wedge-shaped face towards her.

Yeah, we just used buckets from Lowe’s, but the ones with the special lids are nice. I really love that it poses no danger to any other wildlife! Perfectly safe for other critters to drink, should they gain access.

Why, in the year of our lord 2026, do I have to go to the county clerk in person to pay the tax balance on the car I traded in, or pay an urgent care bill by mail or phone? I only know how to use the internet!

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

a screencap of a 2023 Instagram post from Jamila Jameel with over 1500 likes (including Billy Porter!!) it has a progress Pride flag striped background behind a screencap of my old tweet which reads

for pride month this year can straight people focus less on "love is love" and more on "queer and trans people are in danger"

Last month I replaced my 15-year-old car and this month I am replacing my 9-year-old laptop. I'm relishing the feeling of Nice New Big Things since I apparently won't feel it again for another 10-15 years.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

I have yet to figure out the vagaries of my executive functioning. Sometimes I’m really on top of shit and sometimes my husband is like “Why do you have at least one pair of shoes in every room of this house?”

Alexis is their legal name, which I imagine is why it’s being reported that way. I’m not sure which pics you’re referring to, but what’s reading as “femme” to you might be his version of masc, esp early in transition.

I've thought about trying to phase at least some of them out, but I'm happy with where my schedule is financially, so that means I'd have to add more sessions earlier in the day, which would then disrupt the household showering schedule... it's so complicated!

One of the best things you can do as an adult is realize that you didn’t actually have to stop drawing, coloring, painting, playing with clay, doing whatever else you loved as a kid. Even if you’re bad at it. Maybe especially if you’re bad at it
