Psychiatrist: Don’t go see your mother without taking someone with you. I can think of many people to ask, and not a single one of them would say no. All of them would take psychic damage from going. A catch-22.

I thought Moira Rose’s soap opera in Schitt’s Creek was named “Widow’s Bay”, so I have been so confused with this new show that I haven’t seen and didn’t look like a spin-off of Schitt’s Creek. (The soap opera was named “Sunrise Bay”, but it might have been funnier if it was “Widow’s Bay.)

I am doing my laundry and putting it away. I am CRUSHING IT. I am adulting so good. I am also removing and donating a lot of clothes that I avoid wearing because they fit me badly or are damaged. They’re my fall back for when I haven’t done my laundry, making everything worse.

My Mom having dementia and being powerless to help her (long story that boils down to “she doesn’t want anyone’s help”) has led to talking a lot more about her, with strangers, and admitting that I intentionally haven’t told people everything about my life. I didn’t want to upset anyone.

When I was preparing to get married, my Mom asked me to invite her to the wedding ceremony but not the reception. That’s what I did. She got her invite, lost her shit, and told her side of the family (two people) about this shameful insult, so they both dropped out of the wedding.

When my husband and I got engaged, I told my Mom. This was her complete reaction, with no follow ups. You can search my life for additional reactions from her, like someone searching a couch for spare change, and would come up empty. This was it.

My Uncle wouldn’t let my Mom inside his apartment, so she called the City and told them he was living in a hoard that was dangerous. They verified that she hadn’t seen the hoard, so they chose to do a bedbug inspection of his apartment building to see if he was in a hoard. (He wasn’t.) 1/2

This is an example of a dementia confabulation, where Mom’s memory has a gap and her brain made up a story to fill the gap. This family member died in April 1977. I was born in 1979. My Mom had only one child, me. (1/2)

Sent my Mom the first email in 2 years, but this time it said “I am unblocking your email address, you can email me back and I will read it. I know you have memory issues, and I want you to know that I visited you on X date for X amount of time and this is what we talked about.”

Of course, the message the Iranians are trying to sell Americans on is "It's all the fault of THE JEWS"--but notice how they manage it much better than the typical groyper antisemite does, because the groyper, in their use of antisemitism, is trying to cut themselves off from mainstream US culture.

Because they put more effort into American cultural competency than groyper MAGA staffers do. Like, the whole point of being a groyper is to repel normies and edgily assert superiority over them. The Iranian regime is actually trying to persuade American voters.

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body — but they don't really understand Owens's work. Let's talk about it. 🧵

A quote by Rick Owens. It reads: "Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead."

Despite being very tired and suffering from malaise, I am still somehow getting things done and moving forward. This is possible due to cell phones being lightweight computer bricks that bring dentists, swim lessons, soccer lessons, and summer camps to my face with very little physical effort.
