Despite my bitching and moaning, I have managed to keep my job and still go to it--6, almost 7 months. This is a feat. Being a writer absolutely spoiled in my formative. I worked from home before it was actually a thing. Traditional work was absolute torture.

I am wearing a hoodie for comfort. Hood up. Last Airbender playing quietly. I am very lucky I can do this at my job. But my fucking goodness, I need it to be 5 already.

There are a lot of hot takes about why that orange turd is determined is to tear down the JFK Center. I can't help but think it's a hub of celebrating talent. You can have money, connections, but you are only honored there if you have substance.

One of the most important questions I have had to ask myself is, did I burn out hyperfocusing on a game or did the shitty game development (or even rpg) make me give up?

My son has had a few events at his house this year. I've gone to show my face and catch up. He has a lot of friends from like sophomore year in HS. Yes, even at 22 and everyone's lives lifing. And it's always a shock to my system that I am treated as Mom. An elder.

I am absolutely showing my age here. I can't intuitively figure out how to leave a review. So... measuredandslow.studio/shop/hdcjnyc... These crochet hooks are 10/10. I have typed most of my career, so crocheting is hard on my body. With these, crocheting is a breeze.

So for my kids's b-day I got them shirts that said Thing 1 and Thing 2. (Born on the same day, 5 yrs apart.) My son is upset his shirt doesn't fit. It was a gag gift, but my child actually likes it?

You cannot truly know the parent you were until your kids grow up. Can't know the lessons or sayings that stuck. Mine? "If your glasses are not on your face, they should be in your case." This one in my hh is, "You got McDonald's money?"

A car didn't see me on my scooter. I braked but not fast enough. We collided. I stayed on the ground to check myself. Thankfully, I was fine. I got up. And in that moment, I fucked up. And I realized it. I could have gotten the day off and a pay day. All in one.

The AI accusations are wild--from author to student. AI literally stole from every author on the planet. Every published paper by scientists, psychologist, etc. Of course it looks like AI bc AI is based on humanity.

My first lesson about writing was re-reading The Giving Tree with adult eyes. As a child, I saw this as a story where someone/something would support you at every major moment of your life. I read this story through the tree's perspective. The tree couldn't go to its wedding. Its rooted.

My mother is currently living with me. She wants to feel useful and not like a leech, so I don't stop her when she wants to buy things or cook. I know the feeling. She wanted to buy the month's supply of toilet paper. Didn't fight it. But I forgot. She is a 60+ yr loyal customer of Scott's.

The biggest conflict between my mother and I is how she tried to convince me to go to a Southern college. She swears that she presented leaving California to go to North/South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana--the South-- as if you go, I will go. Fucking lies.
