What makes you happy? 💗

the cappuccino my husband brings to me in bed to wake me up every morning, the way that my dog waits until I get up to go downstairs and stays by my side all morning long, driving a windy tree lined road with the windows down now that there’s a chill in the air and singing at the top of my lungs, going to a good Pilates class and feeling strong and connected in my body, giggling with a coworker over silly work stuff during the day, getting positive feedback on my work from people who I deeply look up to, feeling my little baby boy kick in my belly as I’m sitting at my desk, driving home and talking to my sisters or mom on the phone, spending a cozy evening with the one I love the most, a walk in the cool night air as the sun sets, cooking a new recipe and nailing it, putting on a favorite pair of pajamas and curling into a cozy bed for a good night’s sleep 🩷

This is asking realistically, who are you willing to have an ob/gyn appointment with? There's no "I'd prefer a trans/nonbinary ob/gyn but it's not a dealbreaker" option because there aren't enough trans/nonbinary doctors to make it a realistic choice for most people– imagine you're searching your local medical network for a new provider. The "will only go to a trans/nonbinary ob/gyn" option here means that if you can't find an ob/gyn who's trans or nonbinary, you simply won't go to one at all.

my total inability to hear Zach Bryan’s name and not think that the statement is about Zac Brown Band even though I know I’ve already made this mistake many times is exacerbated by the former’s ex being named “chickenfry” ?

Having an entire song where Taylor’s like “listen u dumb bitch. U are not the exception. He does not love you.” Only for the very next song to be “I can see our souls meeting no matter the time period…we were meant to be”. Honestly peak romantic behavior. It’s like looking at two pages of my diary side by side. Both are about the same person.

I think a lot about the reel I watched about how we don't just offer to drive friends to the airport now or help them move or other ways of just helping people we love. And I think the type of individualism we have built over the years is part of the issues we see everywhere.

me and @thisisctrying have been beating this drum for years. it’s so deeply upsetting. everyone is lonely and that radicalizes people so drastically.

one of the horrible podcast (I assume they all have podcasts?) men whose name keeps getting thrown out there is someone I had never heard of before this week and I absolutely refuse to google him and learn anything about him and I won’t specify which one so you don’t either

i know we have a few shows left, but .... an immense and loud round of applause for our dearest @cages-boxes-hunters-foxes for all you’ve done during this tour - your commitment, hard work, and contributions are incomparable and have made this more fun, inclusive, and exciting than anything we could have imagined. thank you for all you have done from the fun guessing game to the typed out speeches to the endless anons answered. we love you! you are so special and so cherished.

that same marjorie lyric has been through my head recently as well. Not my dad but another family member passed just this May so I know its a different type of grief but we watched him go so slow and it was more painful that i thought it would be, even now. I feel it so intensely sometimes.

i quite literally used to watch him sign his name on various things all the time as a kid so the line "watch as you sign your name Marjorie" struck such a chord when he first died and still does.

Even though you probably already know all this I just wanted to tell you so you know you're not alone. And that i'm always here for you. And that its okay to take your time to process and grieve. You can't go backwards or be wrong with this sort of thing.

On another note, how exciting that baby is crawling 😭. What a special milestone ❤️. He's going to be getting into anything and everything now 😂.

Sending you a huge hug 😘

sweet friend, thank you so much for this message! I’m sorry for your loss and appreciate you sharing with me 💛

crawling is so much fun! baby is very much getting into everything, but when I got home from work today he was playing on the floor with my husband and when he saw me he crawled TO ME !

I keep having to remind myself that leaning into absolute hatred and contempt for like neighbors/coworkers/family members is NOT the path forward but boy is it tempting

if you're waking up like me thinking "where do we even go from here?"

you:

  • build community & involve yourself locally
  • learn self sustainability skills
  • choose kindness
  • protect others & yourself
  • join or build a mutual aid group and/or network
  • find time for small joys (the arts, cooking a meal you love, spending time with loved ones, etc.)
