I want to take the Kid on a rockstar vacation to NOLA and set up a nonprofit for families like ours. I want to cash out my retirement and set up funds to support the Kid once I'm gone. I plan to live the rest of my life securely and on my own terms - fearlessly and happily.

Silly things like wearing shorts, cutting my hair, collecting kid art, and trying to get to a place where I can handle physical contact. No idea how long I have, but I don't want to know either.

It's been officially confirmed: my cancer care is palliative, not curative. Which means that this is literally killing me - an oddly soothing insight. Now more than ever, I'm focused on doing the things that make me happy.

Arts & culture slows aging? A new study found that people who engaged in artistic pursuits at least weekly were biologically a year younger, and slowed their aging process by 4%. I am very curious about how this works!

Arts and cultural engagement 'linked to slower pace of biological ageing'

New research from University College London (UCL) indicates that engaging with arts and culture, whether by participating in activities like singing or painting, or attending events such as visiting g

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

The burden that survivors of Epstein's abuse have carried is both emotional & economic. They were violated—their rights, their bodies, their safety. They were failed by institutions that should have protected them. I'll never stop pushing for the accountability they deserve.

Oncologist confirmed more cancer, and continues pushing for me to go back to the medication that almost killed me. But I have welcomed a new spoopy baby. This is Freyja Bellatrix (last name redacted). She's roughly 5 months old and an absolute love bug. We're obsessed with her.

Took a few hours to ugly-cry after the kid left for work. Dehydrated and just trying to get through the day. Current goals are to work on school, practice Japanese, and meet our new spoopy baby tomorrow.

The latest: Friday I had a PET-CT Scan to confirm what I'm pretty certain is a significant amount of cancer cells in my lymph nodes all the way down to my wrist. Woke up to a call from oncology to come in tomorrow to discuss the results. Therapy is scheduled for Wednesday.

D.C.’s biggest bully just pulled up to the Supreme Court to try to intimidate the justices into ending birthright citizenship. No sitting president has ever attended oral arguments — but this one thinks the Constitution is optional and that the Court must bow down to him.

Now I'm in near-blackout levels of pain (mostly from standing to cook without having my cane handy or proper leaning options - eventually I'll find a table), so I'm going to do the rest of my homework from bed. Fuckin' activity tax, y'all.

Today I: 1. purged the makeup that came over in the move that I've already replaced (mostly from 2021-2023, spent 2024-2025 in storage) 2. cleaned out my purse 3. put most of the new makeup away (there were a few little guys out of line-of-sight that I found afterward) 4. made lunch for/by myself

Getting closer to actually living like I'm not homeless anymore. Cleared out the old makeup and put away the replacements that I've already purchased. Cleaned out my purse... Can't currently find my keys though.

Felt well enough to get a shower and lighten my roots... Despite the water temp not cooperating (and a toner-indulged lavender from my toner). Now to take meds, mainline a latte, and lock in...

Questions from strangers Q: "Why is it OK for you to use bones if you use tarot too?" A: Because I'm Black, have been doing both for ~40 years (since childhood), and fuck you. Let it be known that I don't actively gatekeep divination, but I also rarely teach it. This is why.
