I love my shower chair. At first I thought the backrest wouldn't be necessary but it's really nice that it's there sometimes.

I feel like my Korean ancestors are rolling in their graves, screaming at me to go fight in the streets like they did (shout out to great grandma and great grandpa) but also that's how they got gunned down by the Japanese.
Happy disability pride month, I guess.
A lot of us (Koreans) haven't met our great grandparents. I remembered thinking it was a white person thing for a long time, growing up, that it was a privilege afforded to only white people and honestly? I can't say that I was wrong.
If you were born in the '80s (like me) or even the '90s, that means your parents were born sometime between 1950 - 70. And that means their parents, your grandparents, were born between 1930 - 1945ish, give or take.
The Korean War ended in 1953. Afterwards, there was a whole slew of dictators and accompanying civilian massacres (some, sanctioned by the US government as well).
Survival rate of those great grandparents wasn't amazing - first the war, then the government "crackdowns".
It's not something I've thought about for a while but I'm already grieving heavily this past week so... why not grieve some more for the familial history that was stolen from us?
(Also hi, does anyone still read this blog because I've been away for a while...)
Upcycled one of my old t-shirts into a rollator bag! Featuring Henrietta and Professor Monke. It now occurs to me I should probably add a porg keychain to this. (for those wishing to see a close-up of the fabric on the bars, I posted it here)
Follow-up to the previous post. Very Happy that I managed to figure out a sewing pattern that fits perfectly on the rollator.
The Henrietta Mobile, Porg edition. Featuring Henrietta and her Monke friend who still needs to be given a name. Previously in the saga: Strawberries. (someone's been busy on the sewing machine and it's me)
Tirtir, I'd like a word. And I'd also like a word with everyone who enthusiastically recommended the Tirtir makeup setting spray.
Because yesterday, I went on my first date in 10+ years, then at the end of said date, a man kissed me for the first time in 2+ years and when I opened my eyes, I was horrified. A BRIGHT WHITE SPOT OF FOUNDATION ON HIS NOSE. Meaning, the makeup did not set. At all.
Emotional damage.
May have done a morally gray thing : joined a dating app to get job referrals because that's how hellish the job market is.
Except plot twist : matched with a guy. Who fascinates me.
He has... communication skills.
And plays the cello.
Writes me poems?
Is a lawyer in finance but isn't a finance bro?
We may or may not have our own 2 person Discord server with 10+ threads of various topics.
And now he's flying me out to NYC in less than 2 weeks and ahhhhhhh
I feel like I've tumbled headfirst into some bizarre Y/N that's also an AU but probably not within the KinnPorsche fandom. Maybe a Kdrama.
To be fair - I was super transparent otherwise in my profile. That I am broke, unemployed, do not have my shit together, etc etc. I am, by all definitions, *not a catch* the way I've put my profile except somehow he matched with me. Also, I did not ask him for a job referral. However, he does not know that this is one of the main reasons I joined the dating app. I do plan on telling him in person.
(Yes, my family and friends IRL have his legal name + picture + details so my physical safety is not at risk and we've been chatting for a while.)
It's been 3 years since divorce proceedings and separation happened, almost exactly one year since the paperwork was finally done. Very surreal that this person is nearly the complete opposite of my ex.
The other reason I joined is... I was honestly curious. Had I healed any? Would I ever be ready for a relationship ever again? Was Mamdani right?? (Hinge reference.)
Anyway um wish me luck in this Y/N adventure?
the world is on fire but i may be falling in love.
