Let's talk Lucky Charms for a moment. (Let me have my nd rant) If there are themed or branded lucky charms, I expect the shapes to be different. The types of charms that come in it should change. Not the cereal flavor. I don't eat fruit loops, I eat lucky charms!

So I am embarking on an "Adventure". Taking the train to the city so my daughter can get fitted for pointe shoes, and going with my mother. I had to tell her that the tickets might not be in her inbox. 🤦

So, most of my adventures since getting here on Saturday have involved one of my brother's dogs. See, she is a Belgian Malinois (mostly; she's mixed with husky and the barest splash of German shepherd). She's also waiting on surgery for one of her rear PCLs. Did I mention she's a Belgian Malinois?

I am staying at my mother's right now. My child is loving it, I am glad for my child. In the meantime, I have managed to only say "fuck" twice in one day, yesterday.

Protip: don't let your 10.5yo go get lucky charms for you - they'll come back with "cotton candy" lucky charms that are terrifying and not good.

I'm trying to figure out what Diablo III Torrent level is homeschooling and writing a thesis at the same time.

I will die on the hill that Rings of Power is a good show. Fucking fight me. Don't even bother. I will go toe to toe with you on Middle-Earth lore, and explain you a thing. Dudebros be so butt-hurt. Meantime, season 3 trailer looks fantastic, I am psyched.

I'm bad at the tweeting. Or whatever it's called here. It's because I blogged when I was younger. Modblog. Livejournal. An unfortunate fling with Xanga. But blogging back then wasn't like blogging now. We had no links to get money or whatever else. The point is, I talk too much.

Things that are a better use of our time than HRT for cis soldiers: The correct way to eat Lucky Charms: 1. Get everything wet with the milk 2. Eat the cereal. Do not eat the marshmallows yet. They need to marinate. 3. Eat the broken marshmallows and extremely malformed. Cont'd. v

So, because I am a masochist, I have been rereading some hugely formational purity culture books. For science. Which sadly IS true. The things I do for the greater good. That said, in the book that most fucked me up as a teenager also happens to have THE BEST anecdote in the fucking world.

Mara no Delaunay @lypiphera.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Also, let me be clear. Yes, I am going to livetweet my entire fucking thesis, because basically my life consists of it. You will be bored. I will be crazy. It will be fine.

The library at my school: Yay a new program, look, we got you access to Psychiatry Online! Me, a member of aforementioned program in clinical mental health and counseling: Ok, cool, but do we have PSYCInfo? The library: no, sorry. But we have psychiatry online! Me: [cries in thesis]

I hate and despise that insurance companies gatekeep GAHC. But I am beyond honored that I can do something to help people get past that gatekeeping.

SANCTUARY was amazing. It also helped that it was waaaaaay better mixed than THE BITTER TRUTH. My thesis now has a soundtrack. Let's see how many listens I will stack up by the time I turn in the final thesis, in late April. We can start a betting pool.

Halfway through RAPTURE: Me: Um, did Amy Lee have a crisis of faith? (In which Ivy and I have just got around to listening to the new album)

Me: Have you ever thought about how funeral homes look so unassuming, and yet inside they have giant ovens that burn bodies into nothing but ash? Ivy: ...wtf, Mara, the whole point to them looking unassuming is so people don't say what you just did.

Mara no Delaunay @lypiphera.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

It's fine. I have a week and a half left to get my thesis proposal ready for submission & IRB review. Y'all, this is NOT fine. My brain has checked out and gone on vacation, and I have to figure out what my screening, survey, and semi structured interview questions are.

Yesterday, I went to an annual comprehensive sexual education conference (3rd year going!). I appreciate that all these people are wanting to teach accurate sex ed. But can we PLEASE start respecting kids a little more?!! They deserve privacy and autonomy just as much as the rest of us!

Mara no Delaunay @lypiphera.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I didn't go march for No Kings Day. Instead I co-facilitated a workshop on Human Sexuality in Therapy. Y'all, this is the thing about multiple occupations. Sometimes you have to sidebar the sex educator so you can help therapists in training to be comfortable *using the terms their clients use*.

PSA: maybe don't get hella horny stoned when your Domme is out for the night. My gods. Poor life choices have been made. (Clearly this is why I'm the sub)

So, I realized the other day that I have done *too* well at teaching my child that only you get to decide who to love. Because Crow didn't realize that you need to have a conversation about monogamy/nonmonogamy before starting a relationship. 1/?

Aaaaaand cue the homophobes rolling out from everywhere whining about how "Franchaela" is "being forced" on them, even though "nobody" actually wants it, under the guise of "but Claudia Jessie is gonna be oooooold" so they can sound "legitimate". Y'all, either STFU or openly admit you hate queers.

I survived the school band concert. I did not, unfortunately, realize it was elementary AND middle AND high school. Given that I had about a 2.5 hour heads up there even WAS a concert tonight, I'm proud of how I handled it.

I wrote my girlfriend a eulogy. And then she died.

Mara no Delaunay @lypiphera.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Me: Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. Why would you want to be in a relationship? Crow (my 10yo): So I don't end up alone at 20, living in my mom's basement. Me: ... Crow: You said there were no wrong answers.

Human Sexuality needs to be mandatory for all clinical mental health counselors. I will die on this hill.

Normalize sex. Normalize asexuality. Sexuality is intrinsic to all humans. THAT INCLUDES ASEXUALITY.

Spouse asks what we want to do for dinner. Me: IDK, I'm not hungry. Ivy: I will fix that. Me: What, are you gonna get me high? The answer, btw, was yes.

Sometimes rope is the best therapy. Hi, yes, I am a therapist.

Going into CMHC must be our therapist's favorite thing & I bet they have a "fucking FINALLY" support group where they can bitch about how dense we are. & we now want our therapy to be more like a confessional, so we don't have to meet our therapists' eyes when they resist saying WHAT DID I TELL U!?

Me - self-gatekeeps because I've convinced myself I'm not "queer enough" and don't belong in queer spaces Client - self-gatekeeps because they've convinced themself they're not queer enough and don't belong in queer spaces Me: what does "queer enough" mean to you......oh.

Things I don't say as a therapist, even though I want to: I've got a meme for that.

It still baffles me how many people are shocked about purity culture. The idea that I was raised to literally believe that a crush made me emotionally impure traverses so far past the line of incredulity, I might as well have told them I'm from Mars. This. Is. Why. We. Need. Sex. Ed.

Mara no Delaunay @lypiphera.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

I got an unexpected refund from my school, so I promptly turned around and acquired physical copies of some books that I really have been finding valuable. Because I am all for free access to books (all books) for everyone, AND I believe in supporting the authors. 1/?

Mara no Delaunay @lypiphera.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Sorry, I won't be at the No Kings protest because I'm going to be busy helping facilitate a workshop on human sexuality in counseling. Which is kind of the same thing.

My gf is being sad and mopey, so I'm trying to cheer her up. Me: Here, you can feel better now because I'm putting my foot on you and you like feet. GF: *splutter* Me: OMG, now you're cry-laughing, stop being such a Cancer. GF: I'm trying to be mad. Me: Yeah, you're not being good at that.

Fuck, I just realized that 5 year old me knew the stories of all the major classical ballets: Swan Lake, Giselle, Coppelia, The Firebird, La Bayadère,, Le Corsair, La Fille Mal Gardée, Ondine, Onegin, La Sylphides, etc. That might explain a lot about me...

Today's family activity was blackout poetry. This is one of my favorites that I made:

Blackout poetry - a page ripped from a book; the words are circled in black shapes with lines branching from the center of each, and the rest of the page is colored in red marker. The words read: sheltered In / scarlet / rage / surrender / is the only way / with tears / loved / and / lost

This is your regular reminder to pay your sex workers and get your routine STI testing. And a reminder you can get external condoms, internal condoms, and dental dams for free at your local family planning clinic.
