@kookaburrasakura.co.nz today Leo was telling me that he doesn’t need shoes to go out and that triggered the specific memory of the months of psi Us going around everywhere barefoot

Today at the thrift store I touched a fabric so vile, so repulsive, that the ghost of the feeling has lingered on my fingers and I haven’t been right since.

I say this from the bottom of my heart: I love being corny and cringe and basic. I’m right where I want to be.

Lil Nas X released a new single. This is not a drill. I know this is parasocial and weird but I missed him so much and I hope he’s doing okay. Also the new song is a tribute to his late mom and now I’m in tears.

Nothing pisses me off more than a rainy weekend when it’s been gorgeous weather all week. You couldn’t downpour while everyone was stuck at work/school?! You had to wait until the weekend?!?!

Having moved to a more affluent area you see a lot more cars that are driven for aesthetics or pleasure rather than practicality. Pro: I see a lot more VW beetles and they brighten my day Con: also see a lot more cybertrucks, which ruin my day

It’s already hard enough for my autistic ass to make mom friends but it’s heartbreaking when I DO make a great connection with a fellow mom and then they reveal that they’re religious and would love for us to come check out their church

Having access to watching my son at daycare is not always a good thing because I watched another child push mine and now a 3 year old is my sworn enemy

Go back and watch all of the American Horror Story seasons I haven’t seen? ❌ Go back and re-watch AHS Hotel for the millionth time ✅

I hate when I’m trying to wake myself up so I drink caffeine but instead of waking up I still feel just as tired, but now also very anxious.

Joining groups for Gwinnett county is so useless lol. Oh this person is looking for daycare recs, oh nvm they’re in Dacula an hour away, my recs are pointless.

I love complimenting random women on things like their hair, outfit, aesthetic, etc. It lights up their day and makes me feel nice. But the demographic that loves it the most, I’ve found, is teenage girls. It’s adorable.

Adore my friends and extended family with all my heart but please I need a month of doing nothing and seeing no one

Unfortunately I can totally understand now how boomers accumulate mountains of knickknacks and stuff. I have turned into someone who lives for interesting stuff at antique stores, garage sales, thrift shops, etc.

Damian’s favorite word right now is “booty” which he finds hilarious. Jairo also told him that I read “booty books” so he keeps laughing and asking me why I read booty books. I fear we are too immature to be parents.

When I’m sick and can’t sleep because of coughing and post nasal drip my favorite thing is Nyquiling myself to sleep. I’m giddy right now waiting for it to kick in. Can’t cough if I’m in a coma.

I wish I could take mosquito medication like cats take flea medication which makes their blood poisonous to fleas, but me with mosquitos. I have spent a good amount of mental energy and time dwelling on this fantasy

My kid is so rad. He’s in Mexico with my mom so we FaceTimed him while Damian was in the bath. His special interest is plumbing so while he was happy to see Damian he was immediately like, “Damian can you please move, show me the drain.”

On this last day of pride month I am remembering the time I tried to come out to my mom and she shut me down by telling me that every girl was curious about kissing girls and that it was normal.

Legitimately started crying at this being the first time Mexico has won all their group stage matches.

Every four years. Every four years I fall into the delusion that Mexico can actually play well.

We just moved to Duluth and while I love all the yummy new food options, schools, and parks, I’m realizing we are now in the land of endless unprotected left turns into heavy traffic.

On a more self-misery note, it makes me really sad that I just couldn’t seem to make friends with other special needs moms at Leo’s school. A bunch of them that I know recently had a mom brunch and I wasn’t invited and I gotta admit it hurt. (CON)

Alma @nanobend.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

I met a Spanish woman at the FIFA fan fest who was so lovely, and found out she is also an autism mom. When I told her about Leo and the timeline of his milestones she said he sounded almost exactly like her daughter at that age, and (CON)

I love my people and I’m 1000% rooting for Mexico but why am I watching Austria-Jordan and I can hear the crowd chanting Cielito Lindo? Please guys this is not about us 😭

Us: Hello bulk pickup, we have 3 things for you to pick up on Monday can you please take them. Bulk pickup: yes we will! It is now Tuesday 😔 Why did you lie, bulk pickup?

I didn’t think anything could bring me more rage than GenAI text but then GenAI flyers entered the chat.

On the surface, I am only rooting for Mexico, the US, and Colombia (for my bae) in the World Cup. In practice, I will root for anyone who isn’t Argentina, Italy, Brazil, or Germany.

Alma @nanobend.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

The really deep friendships you made in school or in college, but now decades later you’ve completely lost touch? Sometimes I feel such a deep, painful yearning just to hear from them again. I hope they’re doing okay.

The year is 2000, and the interview with the vampire movie has inspired me to read Anne Rice, books I would reread until my 20s. The year is 2026, and the interview with the vampire TV series has inspired me to reread Anne Rice for the billionth time.

We went to a festival yesterday and they had a kpop dance segment. The dj would play 1 min of a song and whoever knew the dance would run to the center of the stage and show off for the crowd. 🥹 It made me emotional because I remember being a weirdo outcast for being a kpop fan as a kid.

And happy pride to my toddler who just meticulously applied makeup on me while wearing his Spider-Man dress.

Happy pride month. It is probably common knowledge (or at least not surprising) that I’m bisexual. But more importantly, June 26 is my birthday and I just want you to know that in 2015 you couldn’t tell me SHIT. THEY DID THAT ON MY BIRTHDAY.

I’m just trying to get rid of a changing table and a toddler table/chairs for free but all I’ve gotten is endless messages asking if the stuff is still available, but no one actually coming to pick it up.

Vulnerable post. Sometimes I feel like a bad parent for not putting Leo in as many therapies as I can, for not doing intensive ABA when he was younger (yes I am aware of ABA controversies which was part of the reason why we decided not to do it). (CON)

Me: [Crashes out to Jairo over how expensive it feels just to EXIST and how a “good salary” feels meaningless] My toddler the next morning: Mommy I want to go to a hot wheels monster truck show AND monster jam! This must be karma for what our parents felt like in 2008.

There’s no better feeling than your spouse despairing over what a dental bill is going to cost and then you reminding him that you beefed up the HSA. 🥰 Don’t worry babygirl daddy’s got you

I spent a good portion of today thinking about how I missed Lil Nas X. I hope he’s doing okay.

Damian came home with a potted plant he grew in his preschool class. He told me he is so excited for it to grow beautiful flowers. I have never felt more pressure in my life.
