Just when you think shit will chill, you get a call at 2 am that your dad has fallen and broken his neck.

Thankfully he has no residual weakness or paralysis. It’s been a couple weeks in hospital and working to transition to rehab. Brace will last 6-8 weeks and then I guess we will see.

More reno upstairs continues. It’ll be a couple more weeks. They’ve moved furniture from one room to the next. Tarped shit, but it’s still a dusty disaster up there. These fools have completely fucked several plants and after the ice storm where we were without power for over a week and just life in general, it feels like the walls are closing in.

I did on a whim pick colors for the walls versus a cream I had originally thought of as neutral -

I also fried chicken for the first time ever -

Ultimately some normalcy and even a single week of routine would be chefs kiss at this point.

More late night yoga for the win -

Hang in there. I’m told it’ll get better xx

It’s Mother’s Day in the US and I wanted to send out a special Happy Mother’s Day to the fandom moms.

The moms who hide away in the bathroom for an extra minute or two to finish the latest chapter of the fic they’re reading while their kids shout for them from another room.

The moms who spend way too much time on a website where the median age is far younger than they are.

The moms who think before adding emojis to their posts lest they show their age or, god forbid, be considered cringe.

The moms who stay up late creating fanart/fan fiction/metas/gifs/memes/reblogs etc.

The moms who bring character traits of their kids into their OCs because it’s impossible not to.

And to the childless moms who have breathed life into characters who have basically become their children, because that’s as valid as any other type of birth.

Here’s to all us fandom moms, holding onto something that brings us joy when so much of life (partners, careers, children) pulls us away from it. Because it’s hard to keep your identity when you’re in the throes of raising humans. So cheers to you. May you find a quiet moment today to do something you love.

Against my better judgment, Taught the kid to say "hallow my ween" and she was screaming it ar Michael's

Parents out there who can't explain the existence of queer folk to their kids probably don't have kids who come up them up to ask what happens to their atoms when they die or why we're the only species of the genus homo left and what happened to the other ones, did we kill them, and WHY do they make every tutorial a youtube video instead of just writing it out? ALSO why can't you tell people that god is just an idea like santa without them getting mad at you?

Queer people are an EASY one, you guys...

He sighs and says,

"I feel like I'm growing too fast."

And I can't agree more,

but I smile instead.

"Don't be afraid of growing up,

Don't be afraid of the path ahead.

Just take the time to take in

every moment along the way.

You'll be okay."

Almost time to write smut during dance class! I swear if that dad tries to talk to me again, I'm going to ask him to proofread some porn.
