My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.
Not Everything Is Simple. (Except Me—I’m Perfect.)

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.
Oh and get the money out of politics

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

I announced this morning I’m leaving Webtoons. This is something I’ve been thinking about for months now and today is the day. You can read a bit about my journey and my decision why in this post (In true Webtoons style with all the art and vertical-scroll glory.)
I’m happy that I’ve found a place to park my stuff for a while. Maybe Subs…

World-class writing
The best stories, ideas, and culture right at your fingertips.
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.
When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.
Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.
Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?
Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.
Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.
Stop escaping it.

AMAZING! A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director.

On the drive to school this morning…
Papa: “Did I explain WHY dad is taking his big work trip today?”
Penelope: “No.”
Papa: “We’ll, it’s about his book. You know, the book he wrote that we’ve been reading at bedtime, Papa’s Coming Home?”
Twins: “Yeah?”
Papa: “We’ll, he’s traveling so he can go share the book with lots of people. He’s going to different cities all over the country to share the book! It’s called a book tour.”
Gus, worried: “But… but… will he bring it back?”
The Joni Ernst story is critical to understanding Trump's power. Throw-in the death threats that MAGA likes to lob at folks, and you have a bulwark that is fractured.
If only the 'normal' republicans banded together they would actually have some power to change the trajectory of the Trump presidency. Unfortunately, they are too frightened to do the right thing.
There are no normal republicans anymore; especially when threatened with a primary! Trump owns the party; from the RNC to the Oval, and any dissent will not be tolerated: PERIOD!
These people are victims of their own success. Extreme gerrymandering and voter suppression!…:)
The respect of your family and spouse, the reputation of your family name, the comfort of your local community, your own health .... so many worse things.

ADHD Holistic Tip for the Day
Your success may not be mine- but sure at this point what mine will be!
I struggle to remember what I’ve accomplished in a day. I don’t mean by bedtime. I mean by afternoon.
Along with that, I’m also told I struggle to remember what I’ve accomplished in the past three years.
I’m going to buy a fun little notebook (because notebooks!! ) and then I’m going to 1) list all the things I’ve accomplished in the past three years since becoming a widow, quitting my job, and se…
Turning off my brain at night
ADHD brains have an interesting relationship with sleep.
And I use the word interesting very loosely.
It’s late at night, when I’m in and out of sleep, that I remember something I didn’t do, when I feel shame for something I did poorly, when I question some decision I made that day.
It’s that past my bedtime if I want to get up and be useful tomorrow time when I have ideas. Big and small and useful and ridiculous - but always lots of ideas.
It’s what some call bedti…

ADHD and Continuity
This is a struggle. All in with something. Full ADHD power ahead. Success!
And then. One day is hard or I get up late or any other reason and you I struggle to keep it going.
With ADHD I find that 1 skipped day turns to many turns to nit even remembering what I was doing it for in the first place!
Today I am fighting it. Today I am remembering my why and, in this experiment of life, looking to find what I can tweak to not quit, to not let it fall to the wayside.
So, if you ar…
